Having already tested this hardware configuration, we know that at this moment in time, it does offer the highest performance/best gaming experience of any flash-based consumer SSD, so if you want the best, here it is. It's something that's almost impossible to quantify with data but is very apparent to the user. Phison SSDs with Gaming I/O+ technology baked in are smooth as silk.

Non-Phison SSDs cause noticeable stutters and even textures popping in late. While we haven't published anything to quantify what Phison's technology does for a DirectStorage gaming experience, we can tell you that we notice a massive improvement over SSDs like the P41 Platinum or 990 Pro when running the new DirectStorage-enabled game Forespoken. Additionally, all Phison E26-controlled SSDs feature Phison's exclusive Gaming I/O+ DirectStorage optimized firmware. As demonstrated by the above data sheet obtained from Phison's website, the PS5026-E26, or 'E26' controller as its commonly referred to, is offering up double the throughput available via PCIe Gen4 at up to 14,000 MB/s, along with class-leading reliability and security features.
