Corsair Force GT 120GB, an high performance Sata III SSD

In this review we will test the current Corsair's high-end proposal regarding the SSD industry. Equipped with 6Gb/s SATA III interface, fully supported by the new SandForce SF-2200 controller series, the Corsair Force GT is currently the highest performing Corsair SSD with well 555MB/s declared read, 515MB/s write and well 85,000 IOPS with regard to the 120GB version we're going to test in this review.

Conclusions

Performance:
Quality/Price ratio:
Overall:

As usual with the Corsair products we can not express but a positive opinion. In this case, the Corsair Force GT not only looks like one of the fastest desktop SATA III SSD currently on the market, but its design will be much appreciated by the hard gamers and modders, which feature top of the line mainboard with the same staining.

The performance of the Corsair Force GT are at the top in its class and with additions of features and technologies to maintain high performance over time, thanks to the SF-2281 SandForce controller, the SSD shows no obvious weaknesses.

That's not all. The price of the drives we tested, with a capacity of 120GB, is "only" 210 € against 260 € of his closest rival, the OCZ Vertex III MAX IOPS 120GB. The performance of the Force GT is even larger than those reported for the rival SSD, thanks to a higher number of IOPS: well 10,000 more.

With a great quality/price ratio, top performance, a very nice design and high build quality, we can only give a deserved full marks, as the Corsair GT Force is an excellent drive.
