Biwin demos 14.5 GB/s SSD with Maxio controller and YMTC memory — still racing to release the first non-Phison PCIe 5.0 x4 SSD

Biwin's SSD.

Biwin is a relatively new kid on the block with its own-branded memory modules and solid-state drives, but the company has been around for a while with Acer and HP-badged products. This year Biwin is finally entering the advanced components market with its own brand, and the company plans to offer rather exclusive products. 

One of the first of such products is Biwin's X570 PCIe Gen5 x4 SSD — which is based on Maxiotek's MAP1806 SSD controller, the company's range-topping controller with eight NAND channels and support of up to 3600 MT/s 3D NAND. The drive is also set to use YMTC's advanced 3D NAND to offer up to 14.5/14 GB/s read/write speeds and up to 4 TB capacity. Unfortunately, there is no word on what the X570's pricing will be — though it should be noted that Maxio produces fairly inexpensive SSD controllers, so expect Biwin's X570 to be priced competitively.
