In 2023, PCIe 50 SSDs are still in a state of "residual blood" and cannot be compared with the existing PCIe 40 and even earlier 30 products form effective competition, which is of course inseparable from its best and ecological barriers, and part of the reason is that its own hardware performance has not yet been fully iterated.
The key to this is undoubtedly the master control. The current Phison E26 is not able to play PCIe 5The full potential of the 0 standard has not been able to bring its own nominal ultra-high random performance as expected, in addition, it still uses the 12nm process without opening a gap with the previous generation E18 main controller, in PCIe 50 higher performance requirements will also bring high power consumption and high heat generation, affecting its stability. Of course, the E26 has been on the debut for nearly 2 years as an old product, and it is necessary to make PCIe 50 SSDs gain more competitiveness, which undoubtedly requires an injection of new blood.
Entering 2024, many master control brands are targeting PCIe 5The products of the 0 era have finally been unveiled one by one, including Phison's iteration of the E26 and the launch of the high-end new product E26 Max14um, which is said to have the same core process, using new technology and firmware optimization to increase the continuous read speed to 14700MB S, and finally reach the full blood level. At the same time, it will also bring the best low-power PCIe 50 main control E31T, with DRAMLESS design, to find a balance between performance, temperature, and power consumption, or will promote PCIe 5 suitable for more consumers0 SSD products were born.
The main control brands that have brought new trends recently also include Huirong, which debuted earlier with the SM2508 PCIe 5The 0 main controller provides more new information, including the use of TSMC 6nm EUV process, new architecture and low-power optimization, the maximum supported particle channel speed up to 3600mt s, etc., and its nominal sequential read and write speed up to 145Gbs and 14Gbs s, random read/write up to 2500K IOPS, it can be seen that the advanced technology brings more performance advantages.
InnoChina Technology also previously announced the first domestic PCIe 50 main control yr S900 started mass production, using the open source RISC-V architecture, and adapted to Yangtze River storage particles, the official nominal continuous read and write performance can reach 14GB S and 12GB S, and the 4K random read and write performance can reach 3500K IOPS and 2500K IOPS.
Brief summary. In the following year, PCIe 5What are the practical applications of the ultra-high performance of 0 SSDs? How will the market perform in the future? Suspense such as these may be further answered.
With the advent of a new generation of high-performance main controller, the "full blood" PCIe 50 solid-state drives, as well as a variety of solutions for segmented needs, such as non-slow, low temperature, and cost-effective orientation, will also meet with consumers, which is worth looking forward to.
