Corsair has announced worldwide retail availability of the 480GB Force Series GT SSD and 180GB and 480GB Force Series 3 SSDs. The 180GB Force Series 3 targets consumers and IT professionals and the 480GB models are intended for high-performance notebook PC users who require massive SSD storage capacity in a single drive. The 480GB Force Series GT SSD is designed for video editing, competitive gaming, and other applications for which high-performance is required.

Force Series GT SSDs use the SandForce SF-2280 SSD Processor, with native support for SATA 6Gb/s (SATA 3), combined with ONFI synchronous flash memory. Force Series GT SSD upgrades deliver 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. According to the company, the use of synchronous flash memory makes the Force GT Series particularly adept at reading and writing non-compressible data.

Force Series 3 SSDs use the SandForce SF-2280 SSD Processor combined with asynchronous flash memory technology to deliver SATA 6Gb/s performance. The Force Series 3 has out-of-box read and write speeds of up to 550 MB/s and 520 MB/s respectively, and up to 85K Random Write IOPS.

All Force Series 3 and 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.
