Corsair has announced a new, 256GB solid-state drive addition to its Extreme Series SSD family.

All Extreme Series SSDs feature end-user upgradable firmware to allow for new features to be added, such as the upcoming TRIM command for Windows 7 and other operating systems, which maintains optimal performance over time.
