HARD DRIVE<br />

Corsair Force GT SSD<br />

A high-star rated drive; swapped all hard drives out of the way!<br />

�Complicated<br />

tasks where largescale<br />

editing, or media<br />

editing and strong<br />

gaming performance are<br />

done, Corsair Force GT SSD<br />

has especially been created to<br />

offer the solutions and assists to<br />

such types of tasks. It uses Sandforce<br />

SF-2200 Series as a controller and is<br />

most popular where consistent fast data<br />

access is required.<br />

Force GT, as clearly as the name already indicates,<br />

gives force to the PC that takes hours to load and<br />

download files. Triggering up the PC, launching applications,<br />

saving files and documents, and just about all other<br />

tasks that we do with our PC is faster and smoother when we<br />

remove the bottleneck of old-fashioned hard drives. Once<br />

powered by the advance Sandforce SF-2200 series controller,<br />

the Force Series GT which is particularly adept at moving<br />

compressed data, this real-world benefit gets yet more impressive<br />

when we work with music, movie and graphic files.<br />

Moreover, adding the Force Series GT once to the computer<br />

means incredible storage performance with same tap performance<br />

potential and lasting through several system upgrades. A<br />

long-life-term benefit!<br />

Force Series GT SSDs also feature support for the Windows ®<br />

7 TRIM command. This allows it to store only the data it need<br />

and perform memory optimization to ensure the fastest possible<br />

write speeds.<br />

Our pretty red darling Force GT Series is reliable, cool and quiet.<br />

Since it doesn’t have any moving parts, it can endure and handle<br />

any type of shock, vibration and temperature alternations far in<br />

excess than traditional hard drives, which Is pretty important for<br />

desktop PCs and <strong>no</strong>tebooks.<br />

That was for<br />

being reliable, as with being<br />

cool and quiet and reserved,<br />

our Force Series GT does <strong>no</strong>t vibrate<br />

or buzz and so the lower power<br />

consumption helps to keep the situations<br />

cool and calm inside the PC, which, comparatively<br />

to all other common mechanical hard drives, is an astonishing<br />

piece of improvement since the traditional hard drives spin at<br />

thousands of revolution per minute, producing a lot of heat and<br />

an<strong>no</strong>ying <strong>no</strong>ise. Plus it works with desktop or <strong>no</strong>tebook PCs with<br />

a 2.5” or 3.5” hard drive bay and a SATA connector and is quiet<br />

compatible with Microsoft Windows 7, Vista and XP.<br />

When tested, it was recorded that Force GT ran at 381MB/s<br />

when reading large files, obviously a very good rate, and 245MB/s<br />

in the write test.<br />

Force GT is Corsair’s mainstream offering, indicated by its eyepopping<br />

price; 240GB model reviewed costs $189, thus meaning<br />

costing around 75p per gigabyte, zooming up its way as the bestvalue<br />

and most popular drives among the folks at the moment.<br />
