From the Manufacturer --------------------- Experience up to 50K IOPS random write speeds with a 480GB Corsair Force Series GS SSD. Powered by SandForce SF-2200 Series controllers and fast Toggle NAND, they deliver blazing fast sequential read and write speeds plus strong random writes for impressive real-world performance. Overview -------- Force Series GS Solid-State Drives: Speed for the Real World ------------------------------------------------------------ Force Series GS solid-state drives are powered by a SandForce SF-2200 SSD Processor and fast Toggle NAND memory for both fast sequential read/write speeds and strong random write speed for impressive real-world performance. Fast random write speeds are also critical to performance you’ll notice on a daily basis. Fast in a Straight Line, Fast in the Curves ------------------------------------------- Benchmarks are great, but your PC doesn’t run on benchmarks. Force Series GS has the scores, and the real-world performance to back it up. Some SSDs are strong performers with sequential read and write speeds, but bog down with random writes. Force Series GS is better. It’s great at both. Works Even Better with the Latest Systems ----------------------------------------- Force Series GS supports SATA 3 6Gb/s, so you’ll get superior performance from newer and desktop PCs that use the newest standard. It's also fully backward compatible with SATA 2. Features -------- Superior Sequential Read and Write Speeds ----------------------------------------- The first key to real performance is sequential read and write speeds. You’ll feel the speed when you’re loading and saving large files. Solid-state drives store files in contiguous blocks of memory, so you’ll get nearly instantaneous response when you click that “Load” or “Save” button. Excellent Random Write Performance ---------------------------------- Fast random write speeds are also critical to performance you’ll notice on a daily basis. If you’re running multiple applications at once, odds are that they’re writing small bits of data to the drive with regularity. The fast Toggle NAND memory gives Force Series GS the agility to handle them all without slowing down. Maintains its Performance Over Time ----------------------------------- Force Series GS solid-state drives support the Windows 7 TRIM command. This allows them to store only the data they need and perform memory optimization to ensure the fastest possible write speeds. Solid-State Reliability ----------------------- Because SSDs have no moving parts, they can handle shock, vibration and temperature changes far in excess of traditional hard drives. That's important for desktop PCs, and essential for s. Cool and Quiet, with Low Power Consumption ------------------------------------------ Traditional mechanical hard drives spin at thousands of revolutions per minute. This takes power, and generates noise and heat. Since SSDs have no moving parts, there's no noise or vibration, and the lower power consumption helps keep things cool inside your PC. It can also save battery life on s.
