Hardware

Controller
Maxio MAP1602A5Reviewtomshardware.com/reviews/addlink-a93-ssd-reviewRead 15 October 2026Text says the A93 uses the same Maxio MAP1602 controller as the Lexar NM790. Guru3D's S93 review (the same drive without the heatsink) says Maxio MAP1602A is also called MAP1602, and the NM790 entry here stores MAP1602A. The addlink pages do not name the controller. PCWorld's March 2025 review of a 1TB S93/A93 says Phison and 162-layer flash, which no other review supports. It may describe a later hardware revision. Stored as the launch hardware
