Awesome.. no IOPs reference?

 

[SL09]

I hope it is better than solid 3 (20K IOPs) from OCZ.

 

[Redmint]

Ooh, bit better value for money than the vertex 3 on the 120GB drive?

 

[Trifid]

Impressive read/write speeds there.

 

[pastymuncher]

Awesome.. no IOPs reference?

According to Corsairs website it is 85,000 IOPS (4K aligned).

 

[Scon]

According to Corsairs website it is 85,000 IOPS (4K aligned).

Is that any good? (SSD noob)

 

[littlepuppy]

Yes

 

[Andrew Moore]

According to Corsairs website it is 85,000 IOPS (4K aligned).

That is correct based on a 8GB LBA/s test but a 90% full drive (ie what you could end up with after some use + games etc) will be a little less.

Is that any good? (SSD noob)

Its up there with the best, edging out on the Agility 3 but (based on a used drive with OS etc) and a smidge behind the Vertex 3 with uses a different type of NAND.

 

[Tavalin]

Roughly when are these due to be released?

 

[seekdestroy]

Quite abit cheaper than Vertex 3. And they use a better sandforce controller?

Will have to keep an eye on these

 

[bulldog147]

That pretty good - cheaper than OCZ Vertex 3 and overall better performance of read and write on this Corsair SSD. I kept an eyes out on this one!

 

[MumboJumbo]

Can see my self potentially folding to the 120gb. Will there be 60gb versions?

 

[Aberfala]

Great drive at a great price, that's high on the shortlist for my next build

 

[Andrew Moore]

60GB is unknown as yet but I wouldn't rule it out.

As for controller..

All the same as Vertex 3 and Agility 3.

nand in these is the same as the Agility 3 (Asyncronous) where as Vertex 3 is Syncronous.

 

[The Asgard]

uses a different type of NAND.

What NAND does it use?

I know the Vertex 3 Max IOPS is back on 32nm which I suspect is more to do with reliability.

Its uses Asyncronous rather than Syncronous

 

[Troezar]

Are these manufactured by Corsair?

 

[Andrew Moore]

Are these manufactured by Corsair?

I do believe they are yes,

 

[BUZZIN_NICE]

well i've seen enough to cancel my 120gb agility 3 pre-order to pre-order one of these drives at a good price incase they go up. i've managed to get one in the basket for £169.99 delivered, cheaper than agility 3 too.
