The Phison team is back from Computex, one of the world’s leading global AI exhibitions—and THE place to be last week to showcase next-gen technological innovations. Phison did just that, under the event’s 2025 theme of “Connecting AI,” and showed exciting solutions that will empower organizations to deploy and use AI and near-future digital infrastructure more effectively and easily.
The company’s featured solutions caused a lot of buzz—winning Computex’s highest award and industry recognition—in the exhibition hall. From the Phison E28, the world’s first 6nm AI-Computing-Capable SSD Controller and Module, to the ultra-high performance Pascari Enterprise X200Z SSD, to the newest component of the groundbreaking 爱DAPTIV+ platform, aiDAPTIVGPT—Phison’s advanced technology inspired attendees to redefine what’s possible.
Phison E28 and aiDAPTIV+ win event’s most prestigious Best Choice Golden award
The world’s first 6nm AI computational SSD controller and module made major waves for its exceptional innovation, market potential and industry impact. The juried award is the event’s highest distinction and illustrated how Phison has become a global leader not only in storage solutions but also in AI infrastructure innovation.
The E28 is unique because it’s designed specifically for use in large language model (LLM) training and fine-tuning. Phison’s aiDAPTIV+ 2.0 platform, introduced earlier this year, uses the E28 to offload some of the computational burden on GPU cards and high-bandwidth memory (HBM), which allows the system to train and fine-tune LLMs with fewer GPU resources. With aiDAPTIV+ and the E28, users can accelerate and improve performance of AI workloads. In addition to being faster at fine-tuning AI models, it can also reduce the costs of AI model training by up to 90%.
Here’s what others said about the E28:
Once installed [in a high-end workstation PC], those 32 x Phison E28 Gen5 SSDs were pumping speeds so fast that the company was actually hitting the absolute limits of the Windows kernel itself, with maxed-out speeds reaching 113GB/sec (or 113,601MB/sec to be exact) reads, and an equally as impressive 104GB/sec (or 104,628MB/sec to be exact) for writes. Mix loads saw an even more impressive 146GB/sec (or 146,454MB/sec to be exact).
Phison’s Chris Ramseyer confirmed that the mind-boggling 113GB/sec reads using its new Phison E28 Gen5 SSDs inside of those 3 x Apex Storage X16 Gen5 AICs was hitting the actual limit of the Windows kernel, or we’d be seeing over 150GB/sec (which would be NUTS).
… The E28 sports random read/write rates of 2,600K and 3,000K IOPS, respectively. To put those figures into perspective, the best gaming SSD, the new WD Black SN7100, only goes up to 760K and 1,200K IOPS in each case. … As to why the E28 boasts such monstrously high random data rates, it’s because the chip is designed to be used in AI workloads and even comes with built-in circuitry for accelerating data flows during inference and token processing. Phison goes on to say that the integrated AI acceleration can reduce training times by as much as 50%, which is a pretty remarkable claim.
Phison’s new E28 Gen5 SSD rubs shoulders with the best in consumer mid-2025 PC land. A single E28 Gen5 in a modern PC will be able to deliver data transfer speeds of up to 14.8 GB/s reads and 14.0 GB/s writes. The Phison E28 Gen5 is being marketed as “the weapon of choice for serious gaming and productivity,” so it is definitely targeting consumers. Its controller features a quad-CPU architecture, is fabbed on TSMC’s 6nm node, and supports up to 32 TB.
Advanced aiDAPTIV+ platform gives users a competitive edge
Phison showcased advancements in its aiDAPTIV+ platform, which makes AI model training on-premises and at the edge faster and more affordable for organizations of all sizes:
aiDAPTIVGPT
Built on aiDAPTIV+, this toolkit provides everything organizations need to create their own generative AI capabilities such as conversational AI, data analytic s, web search, code generation and speech services. Providing cloud-like performance via on-premises infrastructure, aiDAPTIVGPT helps simplify AI inference on a company’s proprietary data while maintaining the security and privacy of that data.
aiDAPTIVCache AI150EJ
This GPU memory extension is optimized specifically for AI edge and robotics systems. It works together with aiDAPTIVLink software to improve inference performance at the edge.
At the show, Phison announced a partnership with AVerMedia to use aiDAPTIVCache technology in AVerMedia’s NVIDIA Jetson-based IoT devices.
Pascari X200Z recognized for “stunning” performance, “mind-bending” endurance
Phison unveiled the super-fast Pascari X200Z Enterprise SSD at Computex. The Gen5 SSD is designed for write-intensive enterprise workloads and has support for up to 3 drive writes per day (DWPD). Its next-gen advancements make it the ideal choice for organizations that require ultimate efficiency and performance without compromise.
Attendees were impressed with the SSD’s speed, endurance and capacity. Jon Coulter from TweakTown called it “the highest capacity, lowest latency, and most endurant flash-based SSD of its kind we’ve ever encountered,” and the publication awarded the SSD with its highest honors: Editor’s Choice.
We knew it would be good, but we didn’t anticipate the drive’s mixed workload performance would be this fantastic. By far the best we’ve ever seen, indicating to us that this drive can be the ideal choice for other roles than just a caching solution. If you need a mixed workload juggernaut, this is the SSD you’ve been waiting for.
Phison delivers next-gen technology for mobile devices and more
The Phison team brought the E31T to highlight its high performance, low power consumption and small size—perfect for mobile platforms, such as handheld gaming devices and ultra-thin laptops. The E31T is the latest addition to the company’s DRAM-less product lineup.
Phison also showcased its full suite of PCIe signal conditioning solutions—which enhance signal transmission and performance in a variety of environments. They included the company’s PCIe 5.0 Redriver, which currently has a 50% market share, and its PCIe 5.0 Retimer, the world’s first retimer certified for CXL 2.0.
