By using the SandForce SF-1200 SSD processor combined with MLC flash memory, the Corsair Force Series of solid-state drives deliver performance figures of up to 280MB/sec read and 260MB/sec write, according to the company.
“The Force Series are the fastest SSDs that Corsair has launched to date,” says Kevin Conley, vice president of Engineering at Corsair. “We have been very impressed with the SandForce SSD Processor innovations in the months that we have been working with them, and we can’t wait to get these extraordinarily fast SSDs into the hands of our most demanding customers.”
