“PHISON PS2251-18 has quickly gained an enviable reputation for its high performance, low power consumption abilities because, and unlike earlier generations, both the NVMe and USB controllers have been combined into one ‘all in one’ package. Thus reducing power consumption (half the ICs to power!), reducing latency (no off IC communication lag!), and boosting performance compared previous two discrete controllers based models. Mix in what was once considered cutting edge SK Hynix NAND (circa 2019 128-Layer TLC NAND to be precise) and this is a combination that allows ‘next generation’ USB based portable storage devices to easily blow past the 1GB/s mark… and do so while sipping power.”-realhardwarereviews.com
