Seriously, if you're shopping for an SSD and don't know the name SandForce (http://www.engadget.com/tag/sandforce) yet, you're not doing it right. The producer of what looks to be the consensus fastest controller (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/runcores-100gb-pro-v-solid-state-drive-gets-benchmarked-loved/) on the market is spreading its wings today with a new drive announced by Corsair (http://www.engadget.com/tag/corsair)that offers its SF-1200 chip and capacities of either 100GB or 200GB. The Force follows swiftly in the wake of the Nova and Reactor series (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/28/corsair-nova-reactor-ssd-drives-now-available/) and represents Corsair's new flagship device in this space. It'll offer the generous consumer a sweet 280MBps read and 260MBps write speeds (yes, those are megabytes we're talking about), "class-leading random read/write performance," and the requisite Trim support (http://www.engadget.com/tag/trim) to ensure it maintains that performance in the long run. A specific price is not yet known, but these are expected out within the next couple of weeks.Corsair Force gives us another SandForce-controlled SSD speed demon (http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/corsair-force-gives-us-another-sandforce-controlled-ssd-speed-de/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Thu, 04 Mar 2010 06:37:00 EST.
