With the Force GT, Corsair has a Solid State Drive in its portfolio which is based on the latest SandForce SF-2281 series SSD processor. The drive also features SATA-III support and Corsair claims that the it can reach throughput rates of more than 500...
With its SandForce SF-2281 based 120 GByte Force GT SSD, Corsair isn't exactly withing the specs. Regarding write performance the values we get are slightly above what the manufacturer promises. On the other hand read performance is slightly below the...

The Force GT is the latest in Corsair's range of SandForce based SSDs and features a tweaked architecture which should benefit reading and writing of music and video files (uncompressible data). Today we will be putting the 120GB model through a select...
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 well...

With a review repertoire that has been highly focused upon high performance 240GB drives, we thought it was high time to begin looking at the more affordable 120GB side of the spectrum. The new Corsair Force GT 120GB SSD fit the bill perfectly; it is...
We like reviewing the best of the best and of course people like reading about it. Seeing what the latest and greatest technology can accomplish appeals to our inner geeks but not everyone can afford bleeding edge performance, especially when it comes...

Let's talk about cars for a moment. While some simply buy and drive them, there are some who wish they could own even the most expensive models. Why? In some cases, they may bring unique aesthetics or a sense of luxury. Much of the time, however, the...

Having tested this drive, it is without doubt that an SSD can potentially give your computer a viable performance boost. In case you are still skeptical, let me put it this way – the upgrade in speed that you get from installing an SSD, like the Corsa...

What makes one SandForce-based SSD different from the others that appear to be just like it? We round up 10 models with 60 GB of capacity to explore the effects of NAND interfaces. We also stumble across some interesting data related to full drives. Ha...

After Valentine's Day, SSDs prices fell yet again, and we updated our list to reflect those changes. This month, the best deals are found in the mid-range offering, and there's one bargain in our list for a 240GB SSD that you simply will not want to mi...

The Force GT is Corsair’s mainstream offering, and that's indicated by its price. The 240GB model reviewed here costs £191. That means it costs around 79p per gigabyte, making it one of the best-value drives around at the moment. The Force GT excelled...
A fine mainstream effort from Corsair...

In June, 2012 we published a large group test of SSDs with capacities of 120/128 GB and 240/256 GB . Those are still the most popular sizes, judging from what people search for on Hardware.Info. The world of SSDs didn't stand still, and since then a num...

SSD prices are dropping so quickly that it makes more and more sense to have one in your PC. 120 or 128 GB versions you can find already for £90, and for less than twice that you can buy an SSD with double the capacity. It will still take a long time be...

The first time I reviewed the original Force GT 240GB, Corsair was elbows deep trying to figure out the BSOD issue that plagued an untold number of users. At the time Corsair was experimenting with different SATA connectors, more compact component de...
We look at a lot of SSDs around here, maybe even more than anyone else in the world. LSI SandForce isn't going to let anyone make a really bad drive... aside from asynchronous drives, but that's another story. The point is, there is a starting point...

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 drive?It’s certainly not due t...

Even before the Corsair Force GT arrived at my door, I knew it would be hot. I get a lot of emails from readers and don't mind answering each and every one, but right after of the Force 3 went live I was flooded with emails asking about the Force...
Let me step back for a minute and share a struggle that I'm having. I wasn't expecting Team SandForce partners to ship three divisions of drives this year. So far I've praised and ridiculed the new async drives and even now I really can't define whe...

It was back in January 2009 that Corsair first announced plans to dabble in the SSD market and it did so with an S128 drive capable of read and write speeds of 90MB/s and 70MB/s, respectively. Doesn't seem that long ago, does it? Perhaps not, but a lot...
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 the central...
