The Galax HOF EXTREME 50 1TB version has a sequential read/write speed of 9500/8500 MB/s and a random read/write speed of 1300,000/1100,000 IOPS; the 2TB version has a sequential read/write speed of 10000/9500 MB/s and a random read/writes speed of 1500,000/1250,000 IOPS. In the following, with the performance iteration upgrade, the sequential read/write speed will also reach 12GB/s.

The HOF EXTREME 50 SSD is equipped with DRAM LPDDR4 / DDR4 cache and uses the industry’s most advanced 232-layer NAND flash memory. Phison’s first PCIe 5.0 host is used, and it uses the new ECC algorithm technology and the fifth-generation LDPC error correction capability.

In terms of appearance, the HOF EXTREME 50 SSD has a new upgrade for the cooling vest with large pure copper cooling fins, a special grille shape to increase the cooling area, and a new Galax smart fan. Officially, HOF EXTREME 50 SSD uses liquid metal silver combined with a high-gloss bright edge design, bringing a more textured visual sensory experience.

the HOF EXTREME 50 SSD will be available on e-commerce platforms in the near future, and the price has not been announced yet.

With the support of Phison E26 master controller and 232-layer 3D TLC NAND flash memory using TSMC’s 12nm process, HOF Extreme 50 series PCIe 5.0 solid-state drives can achieve sequential read and write at 12 GB/s and 10 GB/s.

In terms of random performance, it can also achieve 4K reads and writes at 1500k and 1250k IOPS. In terms of capacity, GALAX provides 1TB / 2TB / 4TB three-speed options for the HOF Extreme 50 series.

The new generation of HOF Extreme 50 series M.2 NVMe SSD also provides “GALAX Magic Disk Xtreme Tuner” software that supports a series of functions such as SMART self-check, storage optimization, firmware update, secure erase, temperature monitoring and so on.

In addition, thanks to the newly designed active cooling solution, GALAX said that the HOF Extreme 50 can transfer a large amount of heat faster than the standard SKU to ensure long-term high-speed and stable operation of the SSD.

Sadly, GALAX has yet to disclose the exact pricing and launch date of the HOF Extreme 50. However, for PC users whose motherboards already come with heatsinks, the company also offers a standard kit option.

Finally, it is expected that later this year, various companies including MSI, ADATA, TeamGroup, GOODRAM, AORUS, Apacer, Kioxia, Corsair, etc. Big brands will launch their own new consumer-grade PCIe 5.0 SSDs.

And the new generation of SSD will fully comply with Microsoft DirectStorage API and AMD Smart Access Storage (SAS) and other related technical requirements.
