Corsair today announced what it says is a "major advance in high capacity SSDs," which is marketing speak for the retail availability of its 480GB Force Series GT SSD and 180GB and 480GB Force Series 3 SSDs. The 180GB is meant to replace smaller boot drives that became popular when SSD pricing was stuck in the stratosphere, with the 480GB an option for high performance notebooks users who require "massive SSD storage capacity in a single drive."
Had we asked you prior to today to go on a scavenger hunt and find a 90GB solid state drive with a SATA 6Gbps interface, you would have struck out. Today's a different story. Corsair is beating its chest like King Kong over the latest additions to its Force Series 3 and Force Series GT lines, a pair of 90GB SSDs with native support for SATA 6Gbps, which Corsair claims is a world's first for that capacity.
Corsair tells us its begun shipping its new Force Series GT solid state drives to its network of authorized distributors and retailers worldwide, and that you should be able to order the drives in July. For those of you shopping a high-speed SSD, you can add the Force Series GT line to your list of potential candidates. These SSDs strut into the scene with the new SandForce SF-2280 controller, native support for SATA 6Gb/s, and ONFI synchronous flash memory.
