I'm waiting for SATA 6G/s SSD…..
There isn't much help or support available.
Limited capacity
Price difference to bigger drives (50 / 60 GB) is small
Real-life performance not as impressive as synthetic
Abstract: It is hard to believe that almost two years has passed since we first rounded-up some of the first solid state drive offerings for the PC. Since that time, the landscape has changed dramatically. Capacities have increased somewhat, but performance has ...
Abstract: With the right workload, SandForce's SF-1200 storage controller has enormous potential. All three of the SF-1200-based drives we tested offer solid sequential throughput and very fast random access times across a range of transfer sizes. The SF-1200 proved particularly adept at handling random writes with larger transfer sizes, and..
Abstract: These three new SandForce-1200 based models performed very well in our testing, competing with Intel in IOPS and completely dominating in write performance. The only thing really holding these drives back from total market domination is the price. That awesome write performance comes at the cost of heavy over-provisioning, which leads to less flash available for..

Although drive capacity is below some of its peers, the Corsair Force 100GB SSD is certainly one of the fastest SATA II drives available today and shows just how good the Sandforce SF-1200 controller really is. If you are looking for one of the faste...
With the SSD market expanding so quickly, it has extremely hard for manufacturers to stay ahead of the technology curve. Upcoming SF2000-based SATA 3 drives and Corsair’s Marvell P2U1200 totting Performance 3 series will likely drive the upper echelon ...
For whatever reason, the budget conscious market has always been the “bargain bin” of the solid state industry. It is usually where last generation products go to die or where companies try to make a quick buck with low-quality drives that end up givin...
The Corsair F120 can be described as many things but let’s say for the sake of this conclusion that we were very impressed by the numbers it returned. Yes in some certain areas the drive is slightly slower than the 301 firmware-equipped F100, but the d...

When it comes down to benchmarking the Corsair Force Series 100GB SSD, I was quite happy with the results that it was able to provide, despite a few benchmarks that gave it a bit of trouble when it was compared to the Mushkin drive. However, it was s...
