Corsair has announced the Performance Pro Series SSDs. The Performance Pro Series, designed with the Marvell SATA 6 Gb/s SSD controller, delivers an ATTO Max performance of up to 515MB/s Sequential Read and 440 MB/s Sequential Write.

Additionally, the Performance Pro Series has built-in background garbage collection designed to allow for performance even with operating systems that do not support the TRIM command. Performance Pro solid-state drives provide SATA III connectivity and are also backward compatible with SATA 2 3GB/s.

"We are pleased to provide a fast SATA 3 SSD that's designed specifically for real-world performance," said Thi La, vice president of Memory Products at Corsair. "High-performance PC users work heavily with media files, and unlike some other SSDs, the Performance Pro can save, load and move music, photos and movies without significantly reduced performance. It offers consistent, reliable speed regardless of whether you're running Windows, OS X or Linux, and whether youre using a single drive or a RAID configuration."
