Angrry.exe™ Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 CES 2019 is over, but we have not been able to show you all the news. One thing that has escaped us was information about the PCIe 4.0 SSDs that will appear this year. Phison presented a test with an NVMe type SSD connected to a PCIe 4.0 port. The speeds are incredible. The SSD used in the test is not a prototype and has a Phison controller, and the PCIe 4.0 interface has been accessed through an adapter from PCIe 3.0 16x to PCIe 4.0 8X because there are not yet motherboards with this interface. AMD promises such plates this year. So these speeds are smaller than what we see from the final product and the native interface. The speeds are 4000MB / s for reading and 4200MB / s for reading. Unfortunately, the jump is not great because the current strongest SSDs can reach 3500MB / s. The bus may be more, but for this we need faster memories. The controller used by Phison for this prototype is called the PS5016-E16 and has a quad core ARM processor from 2 ARM cores and 2 CO-X cores from Phison. PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe 8 Channels with 32 CEs NAND interface: 800 MT / s support DDR4 interface: 1600 Mbps support 3D TLC and QLC support Designed with Phison's 4th Gen LDPC Engine We are curious to see the first SSDs with the PCIe 4.0 interface and their price. As you have already noticed, prices for SSDs have dropped a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
