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, makin...

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, in our testi...

Though Corsair stumbled out of the gate a bit getting their Force 3 drives out in good order, they promptly made good with their customers and have now bolstered their Force 3 line with the GT version. With the GT suffix, you'd expect this to be a s...
Corsair tweaked their successful Force 3 drives in the creation of the GT version to eke out a bit more performance. The question is, does the red and black color scheme and minor speed improvements justify the extra $75?...

In the world of SSDs, "fast" never seems to be fast enough. Whenever a new technology is introduced ... something new will come up. Though plagued by a rocky release, the hottest SSDs at the time of writing this article are SandForce series 2000 base...
Any Sandforce 2200 series based product to date manages to shock and awe. This conclusion however will be a tad more complex as the Force 3 compared to the Force GT in terms of overall performance is much closer than you think, sometimes a little slower e...

SandForce technlogy has effectively dominated the SSD market for the last year, and even while the OCZ and INDILINX merger could provide additional competition in the future, the SandForce controller is still for the most part unchallenged. The reason...
Our testing showed time and again that the Corsair Force GT can deliver transfer speeds nearly twice that of the fastest SATA 2 drives. However, read and write ratings of over 500MB/s are becoming standard in the SSD market as more manufacturers are ad...

Corsair has always been one of the biggest players in the computer memory market, consequently it was only natural for them to join the solid state disk segment of the market since SSD’s are essentially made of flash memory chips. Today we are having...
There is little to say about the performance of the Corsair Force GT drive when the numbers speak for themselves. In synthetic benchmarks the Force GT drive offers two times better performance than that of drives based on the previous, short lived Sa...

With the current price levels of Solid State Drives hitting an all-time low finally pretty much everyone can now afford that level of technology. Of course the price/capacity ratio is nowhere close to that of normal mechanical drives (still) a...
So after reading all the results i am sure many of you are wondering about which SSD is currently the best one in the market. Well if you can afford the extra premium then the RevoDrive3 240GB is without doubt faster than every other SSD in thi...

The SSD market is growing rapidly with each passing day and became even more attractive after the recent catastrophe in Thailand which caused the prices of mechanical drives to rise significantly. One of the leading SSD providers is Corsair, which ma...
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 controller...

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 NAND m...
Most benchmarks put it right at the top; pretty red color.
Write speeds (and writedependent tests) lag behind peers.

Our recent comparative review of solid state drives based on the SandForce SF-2281 controller proved that there are performance-relevant factors other than the controller itself. The choice of NAND flash memory and its architecture can also be highly i...
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, whic...

Storage speeds make a mockery of the famous Moore's Law.It was relatively recently that we moved from IDE to SATA and the speed benefits that brought. Yet within a very short timespan we've gone from 1.5Gbp/s SATA through 3.0Gbp/s to the 'available on...
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 stuff...

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...

As with most SSD reviewers, StorageReview is typically sent a 240GB capacity drive from a new family of SSDs for review. There are several reasons for this, but in the SandForce world, it's generally because the 240GB capacity is the fastest due to NAND d...
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 with repe...

Today we are looking at the Corsair Force GT 60GB, which is a LSI-SandForce SF-2281 based solid state drive (SSD) that uses Synchronous ONFi NAND. Previously we reviewed the Corsair Force 3 120GB SSD that used asynchronous NAND and found that while less e...
Overall, the Corsair Force GT 60GB SSD is fast, and can put out significant speeds with compressible data. The 4K random speeds are pretty decent but I have to pause here. On one hand, the synchronous NAND is a nice performance bump, especially with seque...

The SSD market is finally at price levels I would call palatable. There are 120GB SATA2 SSDs for $179.99 or less and SATA3 SSDs for $184.99 and above. This will undoubtedly impact sales for smaller 20-64GB SSDs used in conjunction with Intel Smart Respons...
