Corsair has announced the first shipments of the Force Series GT line of solid-state drives. It uses the new 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 SSDs 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. The use of synchronous flash memory makes the Force GT Series adept at 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-inch adapter for use in both notebook and desktop PCs.

Force Series GT SSDs are shipping to Corsair's network of authorized distributors and retailers. They will be available in July at a suggested retail price of $149 USD for the 60GB model and $279 USD for the 120GB model.
