Corsair Force Extended Capacity Series SSD Pricing Announced

I recently got my hands on some Corsair Force Extended Capacity Series SSD retail prices that I thought I’d share with you. These are prices for the the new drives with less over-provisioning that were just announced on May 20th. The Force Series F60, F120, and F240 SSDs are expected to be available in June, 2010, from Corsairs worldwide network of authorized distributors and resellers. You can read the full press release here if you like. The pricing on their new higher density drives is significantly less than their current offerings. The lowest price I can find a Corsair Force 120GB drive for was $409.99. The new larger capacity Corsiar Force 120GB drive (with less over-provisioning and the same performance) is said to retail for just $339 when it launches. This is a rather large price drop and to top it all off the drive has a 20GB larger storage space! Very interesting if you are looking for a SandForce powered SSD. Corsair is also one of only a couple companies that have unlocked 4K random write performance! It looks like Corsair is going to get really competitive in the SSD market here in the weeks to come.
