Corsair Launching Three Fast New SSDs

[kingnoobe]

I love my ssd for my OS. Of course I wouldn't even try and get one to where I actually had the space to install a lot of games on lol.

Their older P series are faster and there is a 256GB model. I bought one a few weeks ago, 220Read and 200Write and support TRIM

I guess the pricing in no surprize based on how much they charge for thier memory!

Marcus! To think that yesterday I posted a comment pointing out the streak of professionally written articles Tom's had lately. Oh well...

I paid 450 for a 160GB X25-M G2. I still think it was a good deal compared to Raptor pricing years ago. Maybe it's poor logic, but for me, the improvement being quite a bit over any Raptor for an OS drive, while remaining in the under $500 ballpark sold me. I have a 40GB X25-V on the way too, because it was so cheap (110) and will make a great laptop drive for years to come.

I see no reason to wait, other than price, and people are expecting pricing to come down to HDD levels and that will be an extremely long wait. Other than higher throughput, which I welcome (I'll be buying the Intel SATA6gb drives), the major performance improvement is already here

$3.32/Gb is not affordable in any stretch of the imagination...

As soon as that comes down to even $400, I may consider it... but even that's a stretch.

The prices are a bit high considering the OCZ Collosus has better transfer speeds and is sold at a smaller price.

$455? Sign me up for those specs.

F3's are not faster. The access time is slower. My ssd drives put F3's to shame.

yawn, i'm ready for SATA III SSD drives!

[citation][nom]fonzy[/nom]It's ridiculous how much they still charge for SSD's,when they drop to 100-200 dollar range I might retire my 36Gb Raptor....other than that no thank you I can wait.[/citation]

Dude, 36GB Raptor pre-dates NCQ. You would get a massive gain out of a generic 7200 rpm drive at this point, since that one is only going to push 30-60MB/sec.

He was saying the F3 >> Raptor, and hes right.

[citation][nom]hakesterman[/nom]It is ridiculous how many cheap chumps keep commenting on price. It's new technology, what do youwant them to give them to you for free. If you can't afford the steak and lopster don't look at it, lookat the salid bar.[/citation]

Steak and Lopster don't cost $1700

I think the speed is more than fast enough...
If they could focus now on small, low power, and low cost, then we'd be even more happy!
