Phison E37T SSD Controller Delivers 14.9 GB/s Without DRAM

Phison has introduced the E37T, a new SSD controller designed to deliver high performance without relying on DRAM. This shift targets consumers and enthusiasts who want flagship speeds while avoiding active cooling solutions.

DRAMless design enables flagship speeds while targeting gamers and enthusiasts

The E37T operates over PCIe Gen5 interfaces and achieves sequential read speeds exceeding 14.9 GB/s. It marks a departure from traditional enterprise-focused designs that prioritize heavy DRAM usage for stability.

• Interface: PCIe Gen5
• Sequential Read Speed: over 14.9 GB/s
• Peak Power Consumption: less than 5W (specifically 4.5 Watts peak)
• DRAM Configuration: DRAMless
• Previous Model Power Consumption: 11.55 Watts max (E26)

Power efficiency remains a core focus with the E37T drawing just 4.5 Watts at peak load. This represents a significant drop compared to Phison's previous models like the E26, which peaked at 11.55 Watts and the E27T, which operates around 7 Watts.

Phison positions the E37T specifically for gamers, enthusiasts, and everyday PC users rather than data centers. The company aims to keep parts affordable by removing DRAM while maintaining high performance levels suitable for consumer-grade storage needs.
