Phison finally realized gamers are broke and released a cheap Gen5 controller. This fresh E37T hardware ditches DRAM to keep costs down while hitting 14.7 GB/s reads. Sequential write speeds sit at 13.0 GB/s. It supports 3D NAND reaching 4800 MT/s. The four-channel design claims to boost performance by thirty-eight percent on budget builds.
Power consumption stays under 2.3 watts. Low draw makes it viable for laptops or handhelds that usually melt under pressure. Compatible devices include standard M.2 2280 drives alongside smaller 2242 and 2230 formats. Michael Wu claimed this efficiency pushes boundaries for compact rigs needing speed without massive cooling blocks.
Store shelves should see actual drives near Computex later this year. Those needing massive space can look at the updated E28 controller instead. That flagship silicon supports capacities hitting 8TB with slightly higher performance specs. Read speeds there climb to 14.9 GB/s while random write operations reach three million IOPS.
