The PS5026-E26 Max14um is a PCIe Gen5 SSD solution that delivers unprecedented performance of over 14 GB/s in sequential read and write speeds. It is based on the [Phison](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rocket-x5) PS5026-E26 controller, which supports I/O+ technology and [Micron’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/micron-4600) B58R 3D TLC NAND flash with a 2400 MT/s data transfer rate. The PS5026-E26 Max14um is designed to meet the demands of high-end gaming, professional media editing, and AI applications that require low latency and high throughput.

The PS5026-E26 Max14um is expected to be available in early 2024, as Micron will release the fastest NAND flash to date in the same period. The pricing of the PS5026-E26 Max14um is not yet announced, but it is likely to be competitive with other PCIe Gen5 SSDs in the market. The PS5026-E26 Max14um will be compatible with Sony [PlayStation 5](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nv7000) and other devices that support PCIe Gen5 interface. Phison will showcase the PS5026-E26 Max14um at the International CES 2024, where it will demonstrate its record-breaking performance and features.
