We got our first look at working Phison E12 powered SSDs back in January at CES. We saw both M.2 and U.2 versions with both Micron and Toshiba flash posting some serious numbers. Since then, we have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Phison's next-gen E12 controller.

We expect to see E12 powered SSDs hitting the consumer market very soon under the usual brand names like MyDigitalDiscount, Corsair, Patriot, Kingston and many others. Phison will also be tapping the Datacenter market with E12 powered enterprise variants.
