Premier PCIe NVMe SSD controller maker Phison has announced its showcase lineup for the CES 2024 booth, including new storage solutions for the increasingly popular handheld consoles like the Steam Deck, plus the world’s first USB4 single-chip drives.

Phison’s PS5026-E26 Max14um SSD will be featured as the flagship product. This comes with the fast PCIe 5.0 E26 controller that enables up to 14.7 GB/s sequential read speeds and up to 12 GB/s writes speeds. Phison utilizes Micron’s B58R 3D TLC NAND memory chips with 2400 MT/s speeds.
