All well and good but as many reviewers have shown even going from a SATA3 SSD to gen 4 NVME the speed up is absolutely tiny in games for loading screens etc...
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.

Yeah, considering Galax are a gaming brand, it is somewhat odd. When you type Galax into Google and CtrlF the word 'gaming', there's 13 results on the first page. Compare that to ASUS, it's 4; Crucial it's 0. Crucial are far more likely to have a market for a product like this, surely?

Once games start taking advantage of the DirectStorage and equivalent techs, we will see real advantages (see the lastest rachet and clank PS5 exclusive). Until then current tech (even OS's really) treat NAND as if it was HDD alongside all it's limitations.
That said yes for creatives I'm sure it's a blessing. They are usually IO bound.

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