Corsair's Force SSD Reviewed: SF-1200 is Very Good
Late last year we were told that SandForce's client controller, the SF-1200 wouldn't be as solid of a performer as the SF-1500. It would be on par with Indilinx's Barefoot, perhaps a bit faster, but nothing major. Oh how wrong we were.

Meet Corsair's Force SSD. As its name implies, this drive is based on a SandForce controller but not the more expensive SF-1500. What we've got here is SF's client controller, the SF-1200. Boasting a high end (but still somewhat reasonable) price, how does the Force stack up to Intel's X25-M G2 and OCZ's Vertex LE?

OCZ's Agility 2 Reviewed: The First SF-1200 with MP Firmware
SandForce made news last week, but for some not so great reasons. It turns out that the production firmware on SF-1200 drives drops random small file write performance by a decent amount on drives presently shipping.

Those impacted include Corsair and OWC. Corsair is handling it by sticking with the RC firmware and providing a workaround for a known issue with the earlier firmware. OWC on the other hand has quietly updated its website to reveal the new (lower) specs of the drive.

Today we have our first drive shipping with the new 3.0.5 MP firmware: OCZ's Agility 2. Due to ship to etailers later this week, we put the Agility 2 through our test suite (including some new tests to see how SandForce's technology performs with highly random data).....

Corsair Nova V128 SSD Review
The SSD market is currently cluttered with a massive number of companies who all seem to be peddling the same kit. Corsair is trying to distinguish themselves from their competition by releasing the Nova series which is aimed directly at first-time SSD buyers who want a perfect combination of performance and value. In this review we take a look at their 128GB version.
