Phison Electronics Corp. unveiled two new PCIe Gen4x4 Enterprise Class SSDs: the EPR3750 in M.2 2280 form factor and the EPR3760 in M.2 22110 form factor.

The EPR3750 and EPR3760 SSDs are backward compatible in PCIe Gen3 M.2 slots at even faster speeds while offering significant performance enhancements when matched with PCIe Gen4 chipsets. Also, the EPR3750 and EPR3760 SSDs provide a faster quality of service (QoS) command execution with Enterprise SSD firmware. Workstation and Server boot applications require consistent and predictable performance from storage. Phison’s new SSDs are ideal to use as boot drives in workstations, servers, and in Network Attached Storage (NAS) and RAID environments.

Key features of the EPR3750 and EPR3760 SSDs include:

●Controller - Phison’s award winning E18 PCIe Gen4x4 NVMe Controller for Data Center applications, the E18DC.

●Customizable and faster – Similar to all of our SSD product offerings, Phison customizes the EPR3750 and EPR3760 SSDs with our customers’ brand name and logo on the drive and we also make unique firmware changes to optimize the drive’s performance and power consumption for a range of applications.  The EPR3750 and EPR3760 SSDs feature significant performance enhancements when matched with PCIe Gen4 chipsets.  The EPR3750 performance specifications in PCIe Gen3 and PCIe Gen4 modes are shown below.

●Faster quality of service (QoS) – The EPR3750 and EPR3760 SSDs provide a faster QoS command execution with Enterprise SSD firmware that responds quickly to the host PC even while the SSD is attending to background operations.

●Longer term product supply – As the new E1.S form factor becomes more popular for Enterprise SSDs, other SSD manufacturers may shift their engineering resources away from developing the M.2 form factor, leading to a decline in the number of SSD manufacturers for the 2280 and 22110 products. The EPR3750 and EPR3760 demonstrate Phison’s commitment to its valued customers by enhancing the M.2 2280 and 221110 form factors with the newest controller and NAND technologies. 

“Phison works closely with our valued partners and flash storage brands to customize the EPR3750 and EPR3760 SSDs, powered by Phison’s PCIe Gen4 E18DC controller, with features to equip their customers with advantages that will meet their demanding applications,” said Michael Wu, Phison U.S. President and General Manager. “Through our customizable SSD platforms that define advantages unique to each customer, our partners are able to scale their own successful businesses with their own brand.” 

Availability: the EPR3750 SSD is shipping to customers as of May 2022, and the EPR3760 SSD will be shipping in the second half of 2022.
