PS5018-E18

THE SUCCESSOR OF REVOLUTIONARY E16

We Define
the Evolution

In 2019 Phison introduced the industry’s first consumer-grade Gen 4x4 NVMe SSD Controller (the revolutionary PS5016-E16), becoming the industry leader in high-performance computing for gaming, 5G, and other bandwidth-hungry applications seemingly overnight. Today we continue our tradition of breaking boundaries with the all-new PS5018-E18 second-generation PCIe controller.
The E18 is the only solution on the market to break the 7GB/s barrier for both read and write access with superior power efficiency. Your device stays cool even while running the most blazingly fast applications.
