Corsair has announced retail availability of 180GB and 240GB Force Series GT SSDs. The new 180GB and 240GB models join the 60GB and 120GB Force Series GT models already on the market. The Force Series GT uses the SandForce SF-2280 SSD Processor, with native support for SATA 6Gb/s (SATA 3), combined with ONFI synchronous flash memory.

According to the company, Force Series GT SSD upgrades deliver outstanding read/write performance and significantly faster system response, boot times, and application load times than SATA 2 solid-state drives, with out-of-box performance of up to 85K Random Write IOPS, read speeds of up to 555 MB/s, and write speeds of up to 525 MB/s.

The use of synchronous flash memory is intended to assist the Force GT Series with reading and writing non-compressible data, such as video and music files. All Force Series GT models are also backward compatible with SATA 2, and include a 3.5-in. adapter for use in both laptop and desktop PCs.
