“This particular drive integrates no DRAM. Just like most DRAM-less drives, it only uses a four-channel controller (specifically the Phison PS5031-E31), rather than an eight-channel controller.
The E31T is the first model of a new generation of budget PCIe 5.0 controllers created using a smaller process node to handle higher I/O speeds with superior power efficiency, making it one of the top choices for laptop users especially (although more efficient, higher-end drives and controllers are coming in the near future).”- gadgetgram.com
