With the introduction of a new family of SSDs, the HOF M.2 PCIe, Galaxy begins to market its new product line. These flash memory devices are accompanied by an impressive cooling system.
This HOF M.2 PCIe is an SSD in M.2 NVMe format. The mechanics are based on the use of 64-layer NAND 3D TLC memory chips and an 8-channel Phison PS5012-E12 controller. The package takes advantage of the PCIe 3.0 x4 interface and comes with a cooling aid.
An impressive aluminum radiator occupies the entire surface of the printed circuit board. It uses a heatpipe in direct contact with the controller to quickly transport heat to the radiator. The idea is to keep the mechanics at an acceptable temperature to avoid a drop in performance.
On this topic, these are rapid response units. The assortment consists of three capacities with 512 GB, 1 and 2 TB. In all three cases, the sequential read rate can reach 3.4 GB/s compared to 2.8 GB/s for writing, except for the 512 GB version, which displays a maximum of 2 GB/s.
For IOPS scores output in 4K file processing, random reading and writing for 1 and 2 TB models is 400k and 600K, respectively. The 512GB version will be announced in writing with a maximum score of 540k.
