One hundred and seventy English pounds for a 120GB SSD powered by the latest SandForce SF-2200 controller and 25nm NAND flash memory? Looks like a bit of a bargain, particularly compared to 120GB-ish drives with the Marvell 9174 controller, such as the...

The original Force series of SSDs is no longer Corsair's flagship range, but it's arguably the quickest product from the previous generation of solid state drives - so while it can't quite boast the performance of drives like OCZ's new Vertex 3, which...
Fast realworld performance, excellent value, good bundle...
OCZ's Vertex 3 is much faster.
Those lucky enough to have 6Gbit/s SATA ports on their machines - and deep pockets - may be tempted to shell out for even greater speed from OCZ's Vertex 3.But for the rest of us, the Corsair Force F120 is a great SSD that provides excellent performanc...

The quality of products in the value-oriented SSD market really hasn’t been anything to brag about ever since solid state drives began gaining popularity. However, a few companies are working to erase preconceptions many now have about just how much n...
For whatever reason, the budget conscious market has always been the “bargain bin” of the solid state industry. It is usually where last generation products go to die or where companies try to make a quick buck with low-quality drives that end up givin...

£98.69 (at time of review)It wasn't all that long ago when we saw IDE crushed by the influx of SATA-II and since Solid State Drives (SSDs) have arrived, a similar takeover is now underway with SSDs dropping in price and bigger capacities on the horizo...
This review has revealed that without a doubt the SSD completely destroys the standard SATA-II HDD. The blistering performance to be had from an SSD is more than significant. The Corsair Force series should convince you that moving to SSD can benefit...

Based on the recent Sandforce 1200 controller, Corsair has a very fast SSD in its portfolio. The Forc 100 GByte shows very consistent performance in all our benchmarks which means that there are no major negative performance impacts. Furthermore this i...

In the competitive world of SSDs, there are two things that consumers usually look for: price and performance. Usually, these two don’t go hand in hand but Corsair is seeking to rewrite the book when it comes to these two factors. They are trying to...
The Corsair F120 can be described as many things but let’s say for the sake of this conclusion that we were very impressed by the numbers it returned. Yes in some certain areas the drive is slightly slower than the 301 firmware-equipped F100, but the d...

Ultra affordable (AKA Ultra Small Capacity) drives have been the odd bird in the SSD world. Intel and Kingston have both been somewhat successful developing drives in this category, but I have done my best to steer clear from this market altogether...
Best of both worlds? Not exactly, but the Corsair Force F40 is cheap enough, and fast enough to be considered if you are looking for an SSD on a budget. Before now there really wasn’t a viable option that allowed users to get close to the level of p...

Corsair was the first to send us a retail SF-1200 controlled SSD, the . That was quite an exciting moment for us since we had already tested two early pre-production SF-1500 enterprise drives. We knew that SandForce’s consumer controller was very si...
Corsair was one of the first companies to get a drive to market. The F100 wasn’t available at Newegg and few e-tailers picked it up but it was out there in the wild ready to be purchased by those looking for one of the fastest SSDs on the market. Fo...

Are you just as surprised as me to see the SF-1200 perform just as well as the enterprise SF-1500 when both are running MLC flash? SandForce and their partners have been pretty quiet about how the consumer drive performs. Generally when a company h...

If you've got £175 to spend, it's hard to ignore the impressive performance of Corsair's F80 drive. But that's a big if, as the majority of consumers are likely to be put off by a cost of over £2 per gigabyte. And, if performance isn't paramount, there...

Corsair's newest solid-state drives are powered by the SandForceSF-1200 controller and marketed under the Force banner. Three new models have been introduced with 60GB, 120GB and 240GB capacities, and it's pleasing to see the F60 (60GB) model shipping...
