At first glance this drive looks very much like Corsair's Force Series 3 but with a price per GB that's 25% higher. The specs look nearly identical, so how can Corsair demand a premium price for this high-end SATA 6Gb/s...

One of the things you have to be constantly on guard about when reviewing hardware is the tendency to become a little jaded. To accept exceptional performance as the norm, because we're fortunate enough to get to play with some very high performing...

Even if only slightly more so, Corsair managed to make the fastest 2.5” SATA SSD drive available even faster. The performance difference over the smaller 120GB model may be slight, which was to be expected from a drive using the exact same...

Corsair’s Force GT comes in a bright red chassis, which by Ork logic (in the Warhammer 40K universe) would make it the fastest SSD ever. So is it? The Force GT consists of a 6Gb/s SATA bus, SF-2281 controller, and 16 64Gb Micron 25nm synchronous...

Corsair has really pulled out all of the stops with this drive. It really earns the its “GT” name. It is the single fastest drive we have tested in ATTO with a read score of 557MB/s. Also it performs right up to the advertised 85K IOPS,...

We've witnessed a surge of second-generation SandForce SSDs in recent months, but it's clear that the recipe behind these high-performance drives isn't derived from a single set of ingredients. While an identical SF-2281 controller acts as...

tarting with the build quality of the Force GT we have the usual high standard from Corsair, a solid casing on the outside protects the high quality branded controller and flash within. There is no flex to the connector and each part fits together...

Even though the Force GT 240GB is a drive based on an architecture that’s last generation you can easily see why it’s clearly still one of the best performers you can buy. Prices are dropping and I wouldn’t be surprised to see the...

Sometimes you make a wish and Corsair makes it come true. Awhile back we reviewed the 180GB Corsair Force GT. The thing that made the 180GB Force GT unique was its controller; the SandForce 2282 and its array of NAND sitting at 24 modules. The...

It's not only fun to get a chance to break down the entire line of Corsair Force GT SSDs, it's pretty revealing as well. When we look at 2MB large block sequential file movement for instance, we see near parity in terms of read/write performance...

First off we love that Corsair chose to implement the 2282 controller along with more NAND modules to take advantage of a noticeable performance increase. SandForce Driven drives are flooding the market and outnumber all others so it’s refreshing...

If you are choosing among SSDs based on the SandForce SF-2281/SF-2282 controller, you should consider not only its flash memory type but also its storage capacity as a performance-related factor. A larger-capacity SSD contains more flash devices,...

The Force GT 240GB is a slightly different animal than the 120GB model; it posts significantly better write performance across the board and was especially noticeable in our real-world benchmarks. The Force GT 240GB goes for about $460 street,...
Corsair claims the new Force Series GT line is designed for enthusiasts who demand the fastest performance available. It uses the new SandForce SF-2280 SSD processor, with native support for SATA 6Gb/s (SATA 3), combined with ONFI synchronous flash memory.
