The sample of the new Phison E31 controller for PCIe 5.0 SSDs heats up and consumes less than the current ones

It seems that the disks M.2 SSD with PCIe 5.0 interface They are gradually introduced into the new equipment. So the manufacturers too they are advancing to launch new solutions that they can avoid problems of the current discs, whose main one is the great heat generation that accumulates in operation, forcing it to operate with heat sinks to avoid cuts and other problems. But Phison it seems that has found the solution to this with the new controller E31.

From TechPowerUp have had the opportunity to Test a new SSD with a Phison E31 controller as an engineering sample for evaluationalthough it has a very promising. Little by little, M.2 PCIe 5.0 SSD disks are being introduced, although at the moment they have a high energy consumption and generate a lot of heat. These are the main problems addressed by this new unitwith a consumption of only 0.074W with ASPM in idle mode and a 5W maximum in operation. The data left by TechPowerUP also reveals greater energy efficiency as far as MB/s per watt is concerned.

For the moment, and taking into account that it is a fairly primitive evaluation version, the speeds are very close to those of current solutions with PCIe 5.0, with more than 10,000 MB/s for reading and almost 9,000 MB/s for writing. This version of Phison E31 can also lead to the launch of the M.2 SSDs with PCIe 5.0 in laptopssince they will require less heat dissipation for their operation.

For the moment this is a evaluation sampleit is also not known for when can it be available and what improvements will be entailed by the release of more refined versions.
