CES 2026 is buzzing with innovation, and Phison is at the forefront, unveiling two remarkable Solid State Drives (SSDs) that are set to redefine performance and efficiency. The company showcased its new PS5037-E37T SSD controller, a PCIe 5.0 powerhouse designed for ultra-low power consumption, alongside an impressive 8TB iteration of its PS5028-E28 Gen 5 controller.
Key Takeaways
- Phison’s new E37T controller offers exceptional performance with under 2.3 watts of active power, targeting mobile and notebook solutions.
- The E37T controller supports NAND flash speeds up to 4800MT/s and is ideal for compact M.2 form factors.
- Phison’s E28 controller now boasts an 8TB capacity, offering a high-capacity, high-performance PCIe 5.0 storage solution.
Phison PS5037-E37T: The Pinnacle of Power Efficiency
The newly revealed Phison PS5037-E37T SSD controller is a game-changer for mobile computing. This PCIe 5.0, 4-channel DRAMless controller achieves an astonishingly low active power draw of under 2.3 watts. Despite its efficiency, it doesn’t compromise on performance, delivering sequential read speeds of 14.7GB/s and write speeds of 13GB/s. Furthermore, it boasts up to 2000K IOPS for low 4K random disk access, showcasing some of the best throughputs seen to date in this category.
The E37T controller is engineered to accommodate NAND flash operating at speeds up to 4800MT/s. It is perfectly suited for M.2 form factors such as 2230, 2242, and 2280, making it an ideal choice for notebooks, handheld gaming devices, and other portable solutions where high performance must be balanced with stringent power requirements.
Phison PS5028-E28: 8TB of PCIe 5.0 Power
Phison also presented an 8TB version of its PS5028-E28 Gen 5 controller, positioning it as one of the highest capacity and most potent SSDs currently available. This drive continues to offer a robust 14GB/s for both sequential read and write data throughput. While the drive features four NAND packages on the front, each with a 2TB capacity, it also includes a single cache buffer chip on the back. This design contributes to a cooler overall solution, though users of ultra-compact systems should verify compatibility, as double-sided SSDs can pose fitment challenges in some ultrabooks.
Nevertheless, the combination of 14GB/s performance and an 8TB capacity represents a significant achievement in storage technology, offering consumers and professionals alike a powerful and capacious storage option.
