Phison PS5012-E12 goes volume  production: Over 20 new SSD pending

Phison is a name that you probably have not heard off that much, but in fact, a lot of Value SSDs make use of their controllers. In fact the higher end Corsair models, for example, use them. The Phison PS5012-E12 is the latest controller and now is in volume production, and it promises a lot.

The PS5012-E12 makes use of the latest NVMe revision 1.3 protocol and is a TSMC 28nm process product. The new controller will be very fast 3450 MB/s and 3150 MB/s across four PCIs for read and write operations respectively, over a x4 PCIe Gen 3 lane connection that is. Now the shocker, for 4K random read and write operations, the controller is able to perform up to 600,000 operations per second (IOPS) as it (can) makes use 8 NAND. The controller also will support for up-to 8 TB storage and offers support for external Thunderbolt 3 SSDs. The PS5012-E12 is available for its partners in three versions: the 'normal' PS5012-E12 for high-end ssds, the PS5012-E12C for mid-range devices and the PS5012-E12DC for the business market.

Phison PS5012 PCIe Controller In Production and Securing More Than 20 Designs

Phison Electronics (8299.TW), the industry leader in NAND Flash controller and solutions, has released a diversified SSD controller portfolio in 2018. As 3D NAND production increases in 2018 and the cost hitting the sweet spot, the number of SSD projects surges, surpassing previous expectations. Phison has confirmed over 35 designs for the SATA PS3111-S11 and PCIe PS5008-E8/E8T controllers. The new powerful PCIe PS5012-E12 is receiving an overwhelming response from the market with more than 20 projects kicking-off in a single month. With a total of over 100 SSD controller project secured, Phison as a top 3rd party SSD controller IC manufacturer, is expecting an increase in product shipments and an increase in market share.

CS Ma, Chief Technology Officer, commented that the success of PS5012-E12 is the result of the company’s long-term technology investment and advancement. Many 3rd party competitive analysis reports show that Phison’s flagship PS5012-E12 is a best-in-class PCIe Gen3x4 NVMe SSD controller. In addition to achieving the PCI-SIG compliance certification, Phison released an enterprise optimized, PS5012-E12DC, to serve cloud, edge computing, block chain storage, and other high-end applications, driving a wide range of project designs and penetrating the new markets.

Phison’s flagship PCIe SSD controller, PS5012, utilizes a TSMC 28nm process. It maximizes the PCIe Gen 3x4 interface for read and write speeds of up to 3,450MB/s and 3,150MB/s respectively. It can reach device capacity of up to 8TB. The PS5012-E12 based drives are capable of 600K in 4K random read/write performances (IOPS), nearly doubling competitor’s results. PS5012-E12’s top-of-the-line performance will meet the requirements of various high-end applications where the storage speed becomes critical, such as artificial intelligence, mobile gaming computing, and enterprise data center applications. The PS5012 also supports Thunderbolt™3 external SSD designs, caching the Windows-based systems with impressive burst speed and improved user experience.

Phison plans its portfolio carefully, horizontally across different interfaces and vertically over the latest NAND technologies. Phison’s utmost priority is to provide effective and reliable firmware solutions for the current mainstream TLC NAND and the next generations QLC NAND. The proprietary SmartECC™ is specifically designed for 3D TLC and QLC NAND of 96-layers or more. As the SmartECC™ advances into the 4th generation, this low-power LDPC ECC will ultimately become the best solution for the next generation QLC. The technology will enable a storage system that has a perfect balance between memory capacity, read/write latency, and product reliability.

Great news, hopefully prices go down as well across the board.

We need a Guru3D review of a drive with this controller installed before much can be said. Otherwise it's all just theoretical numbers.

I have two 480 GB Mushkin SSDs from several years back that use a Phison controller, and also a
not that old 480 GB MyDigitalSSD BPX M.2 drive. That uses a PS5007-E7 controller. I just noticed that that's on sale. But the new one can be had at this same price!* They use a bit more juice than their competition, but they have a totally comprehensive list of features.

Hah, now I see that they added this new controller to their lineup. Not available yet at Amazon.
MyDigitalSSD BPX Pro
Called "Phison's best SSD controller to date", the Phison E12 (PS5012-E12) PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe controller incorporates the latest and greatest in engineering technologies to help the BPX Pro deliver best-in-class write speeds backed up by end-to-end data path protection, enhanced error correction, bad block management, and advanced wear leveling to ensure data integrity during high-speed transfers over an extended drive life span.


One more edit. Amazon isn't listing it but it can be found on sale for as low a price as the older/slower generation (the one I have). Only preorders, the release is mid-September. https://www.mydigitaldiscount.com/mydigitalssd-480gb-bpx-pro-80mm-2280-s3-m-m.2-pcie-3.1-x4-nvme-ssd-mdnvme80-bpxp-0512/
I'm not connected with them, or any company, fwiw. ;)
