Phison E28 AI SSD wins 2025 Taiwan Excellence gold award

Phison Electronics (8299TT), described in the article as the world’s largest independent supplier of NAND flash controllers and NAND storage solutions, announced on 11/27 that its self-designed E28 has been awarded the 2025 Taiwan Excellence Gold Award. The company framed the recognition as validation of its leadership in artificial intelligence storage and edge-artificial intelligence-computing architectures and as an example of Taiwan’s rising influence in the global artificial intelligence technology landscape.

Built on Phison’s proprietary architecture, the E28 is presented as the world’s first 6 nm artificial intelligence-computing SSD solution and is described in the article as featuring a breakthrough architecture that tightly integrates the SSD with the GPU. That integration enables the SSD to directly extend GPU memory capacity, a capability the article highlights as a way to overcome memory bottlenecks commonly faced in edge-artificial intelligence training.

The article states that by extending GPU memory capacity the E28 allows enterprises to train generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) models securely and efficiently on-premises and that this approach can significantly reduce reliance on costly artificial intelligence memory. The award and the product description are presented together as evidence of Phison’s focus on AI-oriented storage innovation and as a sign of Taiwan’s role in advancing artificial intelligence hardware and edge computing solutions.
