Phison rocks the storage world with the world’s first 128TB class PCIe 5.0 SSD

Phison pushes SSD storage to its limits with its new 128TB-class Pascari D-series SSDs

Phison has revealed a new addition to their Pascari D-series of datacenter-optimised SSDs, delivering 128TB-class storage with their new D205V SSDs. With this new drive, Phison delivers PCIe 5.0 connectivity with 122.88TB of storage, achieving levels of storage density that are four times higher than HDDs.

Data density is Phison’s main selling point for these drives. However, speed is also a major factor. This new SSD can achieve 14,600 MB/s read speeds, which is an insane level of storage performance, doubling the performance of PCIe 4.0 SSDs.

This new SSD uses 2Tb 3D QLC NAND and Phison’s X2 SSD controller. Their D205 series SSDs will be available in Q2 2025 in U.2 and E3.L forms. Phison has not revealed the pricing of these new SSDs.

With higher per-drive capacities and faster speeds than PCIe 4.0 SSDs, these new drives from Phison will allow users to utilise larger data sets and access their data at a faster rate. Furthermore, these drives allow multiple drives to be consolidated into a single drive, reducing power space and cooling requirements for datacenters.
