Latest PCIe Gen5 SSD lowers costs at scale for optimized data center OPEX
TAIPEI, Taiwan — May 21, 2026 — Phison Electronics (8299TT), a global leader in NAND flash controllers and storage solutions, today announced that its Pascari D206V PCIe Gen5 data center SSD has received the prestigious COMPUTEX Best Choice Golden Award, recognizing the next generation of innovation in ultra-high-capacity enterprise storage for AI and modern data center infrastructure.
The Pascari D206V is designed to address the growing industry challenge of efficiently scaling storage capacity for AI, cloud and data-intensive workloads without increasing operational complexity or infrastructure costs. Delivering up to 245.76 TB in a single U.2 PCIe Gen5 SSD, the D206V enables hyperscale and enterprise customers to significantly increase storage density while reducing rack footprint, power consumption and total data center OPEX.
“We are honored to receive the COMPUTEX Best Choice Golden Award and thank the organizers and judging panel for this recognition,” said K.S. Pua, Founder and CEO of Phison Electronics. “As AI and HPC deployments increase worldwide, organizations face growing demands for storage infrastructure that delivers greater density, efficiency, reliability and
performance. The Pascari D206V was purpose-built for this new era of data center scale to help organizations store more, scale faster and optimize operational efficiency. This award reinforces Phison’s commitment to enable organizations to innovate through their data.”
Key Pascari D206V features and benefits include:
- Ultra-high storage density: Up to 245.76 TB in a single U.2 SSD enables organizations to consolidate infrastructure and maximize storage capacity per rack.
- Reduced data center OPEX: Up to an 8:1 capacity advantage over traditional HDD-based cold storage environments1 helps lower power consumption, cooling demands, rack space usage and overall operational costs.
- Read-optimized Gen5 performance: Up to 14 GB/s sequential read speeds and 2,625K million random read IOPS accelerate access to large-scale AI and enterprise datasets.
- Enterprise-grade reliability and protection: Features including dual-port connectivity, power loss protection (PLP), AES-256 encryption, TCG Opal 2.0, NVMe-MI management, 128 namespaces and end-to-end data path protection help ensure data integrity, security and system resiliency.
- OCP-aligned compatibility: Supports OCP Datacenter NVMe SSD specifications for streamlined deployment across hyperscale and open compute environments.
- Flexible deployment options: Available in U.2 for 245.76 TB capacity and E1.L, E3.L and E3.S form factors for all other D206V capacities to optimize density, thermal efficiency and scalability across diverse infrastructure architectures.
