SandForce TRIM Issue & Corsair Force Series GS (240GB) Review

SandForce and TRIM—that has always been a tricky combination. SandForce SSDs have always behaved a bit differently when tortured and TRIM'ed due to their internal design. When a non-SandForce SSD is tortured, write speed degrades and sooner than later...

I may sound like a broken record but all SandForce SSDs except Intel's are more or less the same. While there are small variations in performance, the big picture is still alike. You have a few NAND choices but most manufacturers offer SSDs based on...

Corsair Force 3 60GB SATA III SandForce SF-2281 SSD Review

Growing up a fan of the James Bond movie franchise, I've always been drawn by the intrigue of his little gadgets more so than the complexity of cold war espionage. He always had technology that was exotic and beyond the reach of average consumers. You...

3 year Warranty ; SandForce SF2281 Controller ; Excellent price-to-performance ratio ; Bundled 2.5 inch to 3.5" adapter ; SATA 6Gb/s ; High sequential rates

Asynchronous NAND has lowered performance when dealing with incompressible data

Solid state drive performance improvement over traditional platter drives is undeniable and widely accepted. Because of the premium price, however, a lot of people are not so quick to jump with both feet into this technology. This is exactly why...

Corsair Force 3 120GB Solid State Drive Review

Corsair's new SandForce controlled Force 3 120GB is currently selling for less than 200 USD, but is it a proper next generation SandForce?

We have a lot to cover in the conclusion today, but most of the information I want to relay to you has to do with the price / performance ratio.

Corsair has upped the ante with their Force Series drives by cutting drive provisioning, allowing 20% more capacity to be used. This helps the price per usable GB but will this hurt performance? Read on to see how the Corsair Force 120GB SSD does...

Corsair Force Series 100GB SandForce 1200 SSD Review

The specifications Corsair has listed for the Force Series 100GB SSD drive are 285MB/s read and 275MB/s write which is well above the 260MB/s read/write specified by Sandforce. Pretty high expectations are being set by Corsair. We put it through our...

Although drive capacity is below some of its peers, the Corsair Force 100GB SSD is certainly one of the fastest SATA II drives available today and shows just how good the Sandforce SF-1200 controller really is. If you are looking for one of the fastest...
