Sorry to burst your bubble, but it is just a coincidence: https://www.anandtech.com/show/12292/phison-at-ces-2018-thunderbolt-ssds-secondgen-nvme-controllers Phison's second generation of NVMe SSD controllers has been on the roadmap for quite a while, but now the products are starting to become a reality. The PS5008-E8 and its DRAMless -E8T variant are Phison's solution for the emerging low-end NVMe product segment. These controllers will be used with 3D TLC NAND flash memory, and their performance will be limited by the use of a PCIe 3 x2 interface instead of the x4 interface used by high-end NVMe drives. Phison's PS5012-E12 controller is their high-end replacement for the current E7 controller, and it promises to bring much higher performance: over 3GB/s sequential transfers when paired with 64L 3D TLC NAND. https://www.anandtech.com/show/13080/the-phison-e12-nvme-ssd-controller-preview
https://www.anandtech.com/show/9982/ces-2016-phison-previews-upcoming-ssd-controllers For 2016, the mainstay of Phison's controller lineup will continue to be the PS3110-S10, which has been used in drives sold by OCZ/Toshiba, Mushkin, Corsair, Zotac, Patriot, Kingston, PNY and others, and paired with both TLC and MLC NAND. The much more exciting product is Phison's PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe SSD controller, the PS5007-E7. The E7 controller is very close to launch and we've already seen numerous product announcements based on that platform. |
I figured as much, but talking about the PS5 SSD, finding that article, posting it, and not realizing it actually has a product number with PS5 in it, then having someone else realize it and point it out, is just so weird and unlikely. Almost as if it was meant to be. lol
