Phison E28 PCIe 5.0 SSD Preview — How much faster can SSDs get? Benchmarks & First Look!

Описание: Today, I’m diving headfirst into the blazing-fast world of next-gen SSDs with a preview of the Phison E28 PCIe 5.0 SSD controller. This is an engineering sample of what's to come, and while it’s not quite ready for retail shelves, it’s already showing serious promise.

I benchmarked it against the latest contenders like the WD Black SN8100, Micron 4600, Samsung 9100 Pro, and Acer Predator GM9000. We’ll break down everything from real-world performance using PCMark 10 Storage, 3DMark Storage, and file copying, along with demanding direct-to-flash write scenarios and those critical QD1 random read IOPS.

Is it faster than the competition? Not quite yet, at least not in every test — but it’s close. And with final firmware tuning and the potential to run 3,600 MT/s BiCS8 NAND, this could easily shake up the high-end SSD market.

We’ll cover:
Real-world performance tests
Synthetic benchmarks (CrystalDiskMark, 3DMark, PCMark)
Cache behavior, SLC folding, and worst-case write performance
Power consumption insights
Why QD1 matters more than QD256 for consumers
What to expect when these hit retail!

Is it worth the hype? Will it dethrone the WD Black SN8100? We’ll need the retail release to find out. And hey — if you enjoy this kind of deep-dive hardware testing beyond GPUs, smash that Like button, subscribe, and drop a comment below!
