Review @ Toms Hardware .. reviews/msi-spatium-m480

"As mentioned earlier, the Spatium M480 is based on Phison’s PS5018-E18, and it comes paired with fast TLC flash to achieve its high-performance specs. The controller is an 8-channel design that features five total cores for data processing. It was also built on a 12nm process to keep down power consumption, although the drive is still fairly power-hungry.

The Phison E18 supports ASPM and ASPT to keep operating temperatures under control, and it even supports L1.2 for low power consumption when idle in mobile devices. It also places the LBA mapping table onto some DDR4 DRAM; our 2TB sample leverages two 8Gb SK hynix DRAM chips, one on each side of the PCB for the task."
