Corsair announce its first SSD’s using a SATA 6Gbps interface
Andy Ruffell / 14 years ago
CES was a fruitful event to showcase the latest and greatest products due to the market from leading manufacturer’s and Corsair were no exception with a new range of SSD’s.
The Performance 3 series SSD’s feature a SATA 6Gbps interface which is a first for Corsair and will be available with TRIM support and has background garbage collection.
The drive will come in 3 capacities starting with a 64GB version and 128GB version which should be favoured for RAID configurations and a more expensive 256GB too. All sizes will feature the Marvel 9174 controller, have a 128Mb cache and are said to be perfect for Intel Sandy Bridge chipsets.
| Size | Read Speed | Write Speed |
| 64GB | 365MB/s | 110MB/s |
| 128GB | 410MB/s | 210MB/s |
| 256GB | 480MB/s | 320MB/s |
No pricing or availability as of yet, but more information should be available nearer the end of the month.
One thing that we’re looking forward to, is 2 of these performance drives in a Raid 0 configuration, as judging by the speeds, it should be uber quick.
