Corsair announce its first SSD’s using a SATA 6Gbps interface

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.

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.
