Earlier this year, Phison announced the PS5028-E28, the company's next-generation PCIe 5.0 SSD controller. While PCIe 5.0 drives utilizing this high-performance controller are expected to be available later this year, Tom's Hardware has obtained an exclusive preview of the E28's capabilities.
The Phison E28 SSD faced three formidable competitors: the Samsung 9100 Pro, Micron 4600, and Acer Predator GM9000. The benchmark utilized for the comparison was PCMark 10, specifically the Full System Drive test, which offers a realistic representation of each SSD's real-world performance. The tests evaluate everyday tasks, such as opening specific applications or games, and copying files of different formats from one destination to another.
