Maxio has unveiled three brand-new PCIe Gen5 SSD controllers offering speeds of up to 14.8 GB/s and up to 64 TB capacities.

Maxio Technology Unveils New Enterprise & Consumer PCIe Gen5 SSD Controller: Up To 14.8 GB/s Speeds, 64 TB Capacities, 4800 MT/s Flash Memory Support

Maxio Technology, a brand relatively not that much known in the DRAM segment, has unveiled a trio of its next-gen PCIe Gen5 SSD controllers. These include the MAP1802 / MAP1806 Consumer-grade and the MAP1803 Enterprise controllers. All these are based on the latest technologies that offer over 14 GB/s speeds.

Starting with the flagship Maxio MAP1802, we are looking at the standard NVMe 2.0 specs. The die itself measures 9x13mm in an IHS-less design. The controller includes a 4-channel with 8 CE's and supports up to 4800 MT/s NAND Flash support. The fastest we have seen on the market yet, using the Phison E26 controller, is rated at around 3000 MT/s. The controller supports speeds of up to 14,800 MB/s Read (14.8 GB/s) and 14,400 MB/s Write (14.4 GB/s). It also supports 3400K IOPS Read and 3500K IOPS Write. Maximum supported capacities are up to 8 TB.

Maxio MAP1802 PCIe Gen5 SSD Controller (Consumer-Grade):

• 9x13mm
• 4CH*8CE @ 4800 MT/s
• Up To 8 TB Capacities
• 14,800 MB/s Read
• 14,400 MB/s Write
• 3400K IOPS (Read)
• 3500K IOPS (Write)

The second PCIe Gen5 SSD controller in Maxio's consumer portfolio is the MAP1806 which has a die size of 11x14.5mm and features 8 channels with 4 CE's that support NAND Flash speeds of up to 3600 MT/s. The controller is rated at speeds of up to 14,500 MB/s Read (14.5 GB/s) and 14,000 MB/s Write (14.0 MB/s). The IOPS for both read/write is rated at 3500K and maximum capacities are up to 16 TB.

Maxio MAP1806 PCIe Gen5 SSD Controller (Consumer-Grade):

• 11x14.5mm
• 8CH*4CE @ 3600 MT/s
• Up To 16 TB Capacities
• 14,500 MB/s Read
• 14,000 MB/s Write
• 3500K IOPS (Read)
• 3500K IOPS (Write)

Lastly, Maxio will offer its MAP1803 Enterprise Gen5 SSD controller which features a die size of 23x23mm and comes with an aluminum heat-spreader. The controller has 16 channels with 8 CE's and a maximum NAND Flash speed support of up to 3200 MT/s. The maximum speeds are rated at up to 14,000 MB/s Read (14.0 GB/s) and 13,500 MB/s Write (13.5 GB/s) with maximum Read IOPs of 3500K and Write IOPS of 450K. The controller offers maximum capacities of up to 64 TB.

Maxio MAP1803 PCIe Gen5 SSD Controller (Enterprise-Grade):

• 23x23mm
• 16CH*8CE @ 3200 MT/s
• Up To 64 TB Capacities
• 14,000 MB/s Read
• 13,500 MB/s Write
• 3500K IOPS (Read)
• 450K IOPS (Write)

Currently, there's no word on when we will see more SSDs that utilize these PCIe Gen5 controllers from Maxio. So far, we have seen Phison and Silicon Motion controllers on consumer-grade SSDs. InnoSilicon and more such as Samsung & others are going to offer their products in the SSD segment soon. We can expect more solutions later this year as Gen5 platforms become commonplace.
