Corsair Adds 90GB SSDs to Force 3 / GT lines

Corsair's Force SSD roster was too moderate at 60GB, but too darn capacious at 120GB? Surface Aster, we've got best information, as the organisation's disclosed two middling models that might be just appropriate. We start with the 90GB Move 3, which wields 550MB/s reads and 500MB/s writes at a $159 cost peak. For an more $40, you can hump speeds up by 5MB/s on both counts with the identically fourpenny Force GT. Rightful suchlike their small and large brethren, the two additions tote SandForce SF
label either in stock. If intermediate of the road is your thing, then Godspeed, but we'll place with the big one

Corsair Announces World's First 90GB SATA 6Gb/s SSDs 
Corsair, a worldwide designer and supplier of high-performance components to the PC gaming hardware market, today announced worldwide retail availability of Force Series 3 and Force Series GT SSDs in 90GB configurations. 

Corsair Force Series 3 high-performance SSD upgrades have native support for SATA 6Gb/s, with a maximum sequential read speed of 550MB/s and a maximum sequential write speed of 500 MB/s. The Force Series 3 uses asynchronous flash memory to provide the industry's best 90GB SSD performance value. Force Series GT, designed for enthusiasts who demand the fastest performance available, uses ONFI synchronous flash memory and boasts read speeds of up to 555 MB/s and write speeds of up to 505 MB/s. The use of synchronous flash memory makes the Force Series GT SSD particularly adept at reading and writing non-compressible data, such as video and music files.

All Force Series 3 and Force Series GT SSD models are also backward compatible with SATA 2, and include an easy-to-use 3.5" adapter for use in both notebook and desktop PCs. "We're happy to add the world's first 90GB SSD to our product lineup," said Thi La, Vice President of Memory Products at Corsair. "With 50% more storage capacity than our 60GB models and at pricing significantly lower than our 120GB models, they help make the Force Series 3 and Force Series GT among the most robust and flexible SSD lines on the market."

The 90GB SSD configurations are available from authorized distributors and retailers worldwide at a US suggested retail price of $159 USD for the Force Series 3 90GB and $199 USD for the Force Series GT 90GB. Note that stated capacities are unformatted and actual capacities will vary depending on the formatting and operating system used.
