Corsair Announces New Force 40GB, 80GB, and 160GB SSDs
Corsair today announced three new capacities in its highly-acclaimed Force Series solid-state-drives, adding 40GB, 80GB, and 160GB models to the current lineup of 60GB, 120GB and 240GB SSDs. The three new additions to the Force Series SSDs from Corsair have a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price in the United States of $129.99 for the 40GB, $229.99 for the 80GB, and $449.99 for the 160GB version. Corsair also takes off the boxing gloves in the press release and says that their drives “outperform competitive SSDs from Intel and Kingston by a wide margin.” The new models are expected to begin shipping worldwide in August.
Corsair Force Series solid-state drives are based on the SandForce SF-1200 SSD Processor, and includes their DuraWrite technology for incredible read and write speeds. Unlike most other current generation solid-state drives, the unique architecture of the SF-1200 SSD Processor allows lower capacity drives to perform with nearly the same performance as larger capacity SSDs. All three Force Series models support the TRIM command, so write performance is maintained over time.
