Galax's latest Hall of Fame SSDs boast 10GB/s read speeds
Galax has started to tease their upcoming HOF Extreme 50 (Hall of Fame Extreme 50) series of PCIe 5.0 SSDs, promising users sequential read speeds of up to 10,000 MB/s.
It has been confirmed that Galax's HOF Extreme 50 series of SSDs will come in two flavours, with a 1TB model that comes with up to 9500 MB/s read speeds and 1300K read IOPs, and up to 8,500 MB/s sequential writes and 1100K IOPS writes. The drive's 2TB model will be faster with up to 10,000 MB/s read speeds and 1500K read IOPs, and up to 9,500 MB/s sequential writes and 1250K IOPS writes.
With these rated speeds, Galax's Hall of Extreme Fame 50 series of PCIe 5.0 SSDs will not be amongst the fastest PCIe 5.0 SSDs to hit the market in 2023, with many competing drives promising 12,000 MB/s speeds and above.
At this time, Phison's HOF Extreme 50 SSDs are said to use a Phison PCIe 5.0 SSD controller and 232-layer 3D NAND and feature a built-in DDR4 cache. The drive also features an active cooling system that contains a small fan.
At CES, Galax is also reportedly revealing DDR5 memory modules that offer users speeds of up to 8,000 MT/s with 2x16GB kit sizes.
You can join the discussion on Galax's Hall of Fame Extreme PCIe 5.0 SSDs on the OC3D Forums.

No doubt it will be good for creative types but for day to day use the speed is utterly wasted until devs stop sitting on their thumbs and implement direct storage.Quote

That said yes for creatives I'm sure it's a blessing. They are usually IO bound.Quote

Forspoken is the first game on PC that will be using DirectStorage so it'll be interesting to see how that works out
