CES 2026: Phison Showcases Gen5 Storage to Redefine User Experiences

Phison Electronics Corp. announced the newest addition to its product portfolio, the E37T PCIe Gen5 controller, to be featured alongside its suite of client solutions at CES 2026.

Built with best-in-class efficiency, the E37T utilizes 3D NAND to deliver competitive price-to-performance value for modern consumer workloads across notebooks and mobile devices.

To meet the demand for cost-efficient solutions, the E37T brings core architecture refinements over previous generations to support the latest 3D NAND with up to 4,800MT/s speeds, providing a 38% performance gain for maximum value. ⁽¹⁾ The new controller features DRAM-less design and 4-channels making the E37T the single-sided design for notebooks, handhelds and compact systems that require M.2 2280, 2242 or 2230 form factor storage without sacrificing performance.

“As consumer applications demand greater storage capacity and sustained performance in small spaces, the E37T is designed to deliver power-efficient operation while pushing the Gen5 performance ceiling,” said Michael Wu, president and GM, Phison US. “With the next wave of platforms introducing PCIe Gen5 in smaller form factors, the E37T expands our portfolio with a versatile, high-value storage solution that brings faster, more responsive user experiences to a broad range of devices and use cases.”

Announcement follows the successful launch of the company’s E28 PCIe Gen5 controller, delivering exceptional performance for demanding gaming and workstation workloads. The E28 has received industry recognition for its top speeds and now comes in a larger 8TB ⁽²⁾ capacity.

Phison will showcase its latest consumer and enterprise portfolio solutions at the company’s Bellagio Suite during CES from January 6-8, 2026, including:
