Phison A1808K031T00E004T0900 AI100E U.2 1TB PCI-Express 4.0 enterprise SSD

Phison AI100E U.2 1TB enterprise SSD

The Phison AI100E is a U.2 enterprise solid-state disk with a 1TB capacity and a PCI-Express 4.0 interface. It integrates aiDAPTIVCache memory, aiDAPTIVLink middleware and the aiDAPTIVPro Suite toolkit for AI workloads. The drive is supplied new and carries a non-SED security profile. It targets server builders who need on-board caching for model training or inference.

PCI-Express 4.0 interface limits

The drive connects through a PCI-Express 4.0 link, so peak throughput is bound by that generation's lane bandwidth. A system limited to PCI-Express 3.0 will operate the SSD at the lower generation's speed. The U.2 form factor requires a compatible backplane or cable assembly that can carry the full lane count. Thermal design must account for sustained enterprise write patterns.

Check your server before ordering

Verify that your chassis or motherboard provides a U.2 bay with PCI-Express 4.0 electrical support. Confirm the backplane or adapter supplies the required lane width and that firmware recognises non-SED drives. Ensure the operating environment can dissipate heat from continuous AI caching workloads. Buyers who need hardware encryption or a different capacity should evaluate alternative models.
