- Phison Pascari X200E sets a new benchmark with PCIE Gen5 and Extreme flow
- X200E becomes the first flash ssd that breaks the milestone of a million IOP
- Built to AI, not games, x200E dominating data center work loading effortless
Phison has put a new benchmark in Enterprise Storage Performance with its Pascari X200E 6.4TB SSD, which breaks items in sequential reading speed, far beyond what even the fastest external hard drives can deliver.
The Tweactown Lab tests found that the drive achieved a sequential flow of 15,025 MB/s, the highest ever registered. In the 8K 70/30 test simulating database traffic, the X200E was also the first flash-based SSD to surpass 1 million IOPS.
The X200E is part of Phison’s Pascari Performance X-Series, designed specifically for extreme writing intensity in data. It is sent in U.2 and E3.’s form factors with capacity options ranging from 1.6 TB to 30.72TB.
Enterprise DNA means business requirements
Built around 16-channel Phison PS5302-X2-66 controllers and equipped with Hynix 176-Layer ETLC NAND, runs X200E on a PCIe Gen5 X4 interface. Most desktop PCs support M.2 SSDs rather than company quality U.2 interface, making them physically and technically incompatible with x200E.
Even with an adapter, most consumer motherboards lack the carpentry and thermal control required to take full advantage of the hard drive capacities. Given these requirements, the X200E is not designed for typical users, it is built for data centers, not desktops or game rigs.
Phison assesses the X200E to up to 14,800 MB/s sequential reading and 8,700 MB/s sequential writing performance. In addition to raw speed, the drive is distinguished in mixed workload scenarios that deliver up to 3.2 million IOPs with uniform performance across multiple midwife, which further emphasizes its corporate focus.
The X200E is designed to support modern AI workload and hyperscale data center operations, which often require performance beyond the traditional 32 meat depth used in Legacy SSD Benchmarks. Test results show that the drive maintains stable state, even under random workloads with meat depths as high as 4096.
As AI models continue to generate massive amounts of readings and writes across complex workflows, SSDs like X200E will help drive everything from video delivery platforms to real-time analysis pipelines.
