The Galax HOF PCI-E SSD is a solid-state drive in the Add-In Card form factor. It is available in capacities ranging from 512 GB to 2 TB. This page reports specifications for the 512 GB variant. With the rest of the system, the Galax HOF PCI-E SSD interfaces using a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the PS5012-E12-27 from Phison. Galax has installed 64-layer TLC NAND flash on the HOF PCI-E SSD, the flash chips are made by Toshiba. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are handled more quickly. The HOF PCI-E SSD is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 3,400 MB/s and 3,000 MB/s write.
The SSD's price at launch is unknown. The warranty length is set to three years, which is above average, but shorter than the five years offered by many other vendors. The TBW rating for the Galax HOF PCI-E SSD 512 GB is unknown, too.
