Specifications & Features
NAND flash memory (the storage memory utilized inside an SSD) has gotten more affordable as a result of the new 96-layer production techniques, and we have also witnessed a shift to QLC NAND in recent years. MLC writes two bits per cell, TLC writes three bits per cell, and the QLC writes four bits per cell. You can see both the difficulty and the advantage in this situation: you can store more data in the NAND cells, resulting in larger volume sizes. However, if the write bottleneck grows in size, you will notice a decrease in speed (which you can buffer away with SLC cached, DRAM or Host Memory Buffer on NVMe). Endurance is also a consideration; it should be reduced, but with modern age wear and care technology, this is not a big issue. The team will offer a series of devices that are equipped with vertically stacked (3D) NAND, which is referred to as QLC. These units will be covered by a full 5-year warranty.

Phison PS5012-E12 controller
According to the SSD specifications, the PS5012-E12 makes use of the NVMe revision 1.3 protocol, and when connected to an x4 PCIe Gen 3 lane connection, this controller is capable of reading and writing at rates of 3450 MB/s and 3150 MB/s across four PCIs, respectively, when connected to an x4 PCIe Gen 3 lane connection. The controller is capable of doing up to 700,000 operations per second (IOPS) for 4K random read and write operations due to the fact that it (can) make use of up to 8 NAND channels, which is rather impressive. In addition to SLC, MLC, TLC and QLC, it is also capable of supporting 96-layer NAND, as seen in the diagram. In addition to supporting external Thunderbolt 3 SSDs, the controller has the capability of supporting up to 8 TB of storage capacity.
