PHISON – PS5028-E28 PCIe 5.0 SSD Controller Benchmark Analysis

“You’ve probably heard about Phison’s new PS5028-E28, the next-generation PCIe 5.0 SSD controller that’s stirring up some excitement in storage circles. In a recent preview from Toms Hardware, the E28 went head-to-head with three heavy hitters: Samsung’s 9100 Pro (which uses the Presto controller), Micron’s 4600, and Acer’s Predator GM9000—both of the latter on the SMI SM2508 platform. The benchmark of choice was PCMark 10’s Full System Drive test, a suite that mimics everyday PC tasks like opening apps, firing up games, and moving files of various types. It’s a solid way to see how drives perform under normal desktop use rather than just pushing them to synthetic extremes. Here’s the gist: the Phison E28 crushed the competition in this test. It scored 7,978 points, while the 9100 Pro trailed at 6,767, the Micron 4600 at 6,748, and the Predator GM9000 at 6,040. When you look at sustained bandwidth, the E28 managed about 1.21 gigabytes per second. That’s roughly 16 percent better than the Samsung and Micron, and about 29 percent more than the Predator. Latency—which you want as low as possible—was 20 microseconds on the E28, compared to 24 microseconds on both the 9100 Pro and 4600, and 27 microseconds on the GM9000. In short, the E28 is quicker at getting data back to you, which can really help when you’re juggling multiple tasks or running high-I/O workloads.”- guru3d.com
