This year, the Flash Memory Summit (FMS) is held at Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, California from August 6 to 8. Phison Electronics participates in this exhibition. It demonstrates its next-generation turnkey BGA SSD at the exhibit and this drive is Phison PS5013-E13T 1113 BGA SSD.

About Phison PS5013-E13T BGA SSD

Capacities and Form Format

Phison PS5013-E13T BGA SSD is a tiny drive that is using a 324-ball BGA packaging. The company says that it is faster than its BGA predecessor when consuming around half the power.

According to the datasheet of this SSD that is released by the company, this drive comes with 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, 1024 GB, and 2048 GB configurations. The drive is using a PCIe Gen3x4 NVMe 1.3 interface and 3D TLC / 3D QLC NAND flash. As to its form factor, it is a kind of M.2 2280 / M.2 2242 / CFX / BGA SSD.

Data Transfer Performance

When selecting a data storage drive for use, the most concerned point is its performance of data transfer speed. Now, we list the detailed data of each capacity in the following content (this is theoretical data that is supplied by the company and the real data may vary due to the actual situation).

Phison PS5013-E13T BGA SSD 128 GB:

• Sequential Read Speed: 2200 MB/s
• Sequential Write Speed: 600 MB/s
• 4K Random Read Speed: 115 K
• 4K Random Read Speed: 130 K

Phison PS5013-E13T BGA SSD 256 GB:

• Sequential Read Speed: 2300 MB/s
• Sequential Write Speed: 1200 MB/s
• 4K Random Read Speed: 220 K
• 4K Random Read Speed: 250 K

Phison PS5013-E13T BGA SSD 512 GB:

• Sequential Read Speed: 2500 MB/s
• Sequential Write Speed: 2100 MB/s
• 4K Random Read Speed: 295 K
• 4K Random Read Speed: 430 K

Phison PS5013-E13T BGA SSD 1024 GB:

• Sequential Read Speed: 2500 MB/s
• Sequential Write Speed: 2100 MB/s
• 4K Random Read Speed: 295 K
• 4K Random Read Speed: 430 K
• Phison PS5013-E13T BGA SSD 1024 GB:

All data is in TBD state currently.

Besides, the drive is relying on Host Memory Buffer (HMB) rather than DRAM.

Low Power PS4 (L1.2)

Compared with the company’s current-generation SSD, Phison PS5008-E8T BGA SSD (rated for up to 1550/950 MB/s read/write speeds), this new Phison PS5013-E13T 1113 BGA SSD is not radically faster. But, its most important advantage is power consumption.

Phison PS5013-E13T 1113 BGA SSD costs only about 1.5 W compared with the current high-end BGA SSDs of 2.9 W to 3.4 W.

Additionally, to meet various applications’ requirements, this drive supports configurable power profiles.

Phison PS5013-E13T 1113 BGA SSD will be released next year and more and more information about it will be shown to the public
