Corsair is proud to announce that their new Force GT series SSDs have been shipped and will be available very soon. The matte red SSD drives should make these drives easy to spot both for their unique color and top notch performance figures.

The Corsair Force GTs will be using the new SandForce SF-2280 SSD controller, with native support for SATA 6Gb/s (SATA 3), and ONFI synchronous flash memory. The Force GT series SSDs deliver outstanding read/write performance with out-of-box performance of up to 85,000 Random Write IOPS, read speeds of up to 555 MB/s, and write speeds of up to 525 MB/s. All Force Series GT units include an easy-to-use 3.5″ adapter for use in both notebook and desktop PCs. This is a great addition, especially for desktops, that often do not come with specific places to mount a 2.5″ drive.

The Force GT series SSDs are currently shipping to Corsair’s network of authorized distributors and retailers worldwide. They will be available as of July at the US suggested retail price of $149 USD for the 60GB model and $279 USD for the 120GB model.

Corsair a worldwide designer and supplier of high-performance components to the PC gaming hardware market, today announced the first shipments of the Force Series™ GT line of solid-state drives.

The new Force Series GT is designed for enthusiasts who demand the fastest performance available. It uses the new SandForce SF-2280 SSD Processor, with native support for SATA 6Gb/s (SATA 3), combined with ONFI synchronous flash memory. Force Series GT SSDs deliver outstanding read/write performance and significantly faster system response, boot times, and application load times than SATA 2 solid-state drives, with out-of-box performance of up to 85K Random Write IOPS, read speeds of up to 555 MB/s, and write speeds of up to 525 MB/s. The use of synchronous flash memory makes the Force GT Series particularly adept at reading and writing non-compressible data, such as video and music files.

All Force Series GT models are also backward compatible with SATA 2, and include an easy-to-use 3.5″ adapter for use in both notebook and desktop PCs.

“With the rapid adoption of systems with SATA 3 support, enthusiasts are demanding SSDs that can push the limit of SATA 3 bandwidth,” said Thi La, Vice President of Memory Products at Corsair. “The new Force Series GT line delivers amazing speed under the most demanding conditions, making them ideal for high-performance systems.”

Force Series GT SSDs are currently shipping to Corsair’s network of authorized distributors and retailers worldwide and will be available in July at a US suggested retail price of $149 USD for the 60GB model and $279 USD for the 120GB model.
