Galax HOF Extreme 50S PCIe 5.0 SSD Claims Transfers at 12.4 GB/s

Galax HOF Extreme 50S PCIe Gen5 SSD

Galax today announced its new HOF Extreme 50S PCIe 5.0 SSDs on Chinese social media site Weibo. What difference does the 'S' make? According to Galax's in-house testing, the new models deliver read and write speeds up to 12.4 GB/s and 11.8 GB/s, respectively. Reports also suggest that these drives are capable of 1,500K IOPS.

You might be thinking that you've already heard of these Galax Hall of Fame SSDs, as we covered the HOF Extreme 50 drives inMarch. But now the component-maker has added an 'S' suffix to the product name, which represents an upgrade to the line. And the increase in transfer speeds delivered by the HOF Extreme 50S is a pretty significant upgrade at nearly 25%.
