232 layers of B58R flash and PS5026-E26 controller
Phison has provided a PCIe 5.0 SSD, so there should be something worth plugging into a PCIe 5.0 slot. At least for the 2TB and 4TB models, the drive is reportedly capable of 10,000 MB/s random read and write, or 1.4 million IOPS read and 1.5 million IOPS write on demand. 1 TB is slightly slower if you want a cheaper option.
TweakTown has tested the drive on both AMD- and Intel-based systems, and few come close to the performance of the Phison PS5026-E26. In real-world testing, this drive far outstrips its competitors, with only the Samsung 990 Pro 2TB coming close. This is a good investment if your application relies on huge throughput. If you’re just gaming, the price charged by Sabrent and others using this configuration may not be worth it compared to cheaper PCIe 4.0 SSDs.
Again, these scores certainly give you bragging rights!
