Phison S10

The Phison S10 or PS3110 is a SATA SSD controller first introduced in 2014, with production ending by approximately 2020. The S10 was largely intended as a successor to the earlier S8 controller, considered high-performance at the time it was generally used in higher-end premium drives.

The S10 controller is believed to have the same security vulnerabilities as the later S11, detailed here.

Drive Models

The controller used can sometimes vary even between drives with the same model designation, as vendors can change controllers throughout a drive model's production; as such, external branding or model designation alone cannot definitively identify a drive as having a specific controller.
