Fire Alarm Companies

Corsair 's Force GT Solid-State Drives deserve our attention this year, and their fire-red plates were only half the reason. These bad guys also promise up to 85,000 IOPS random write and are rated for an impressive read / write speeds of 550 MBps and 525 MBps - a shadow over the specifications to be bandied about, when it showed Corsair in March. The drive also supports SATA 3 is backward compatible with SATA 2 and comes with a 3.5-inch adapter, the 'll work with both desktops and laptops. Look for it available later this month in two sizes: 60 GB ($ 149) and 120GB ($ 279). No word, unfortunately, on the 240GB version, strutting his stuff on the floor show in Hannover, Germany. PR after the break.
