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.

CrystalDiskMark 3.0.1

CrystalDiskMark is a very useful software to measure performance in reading and writing sequentially (sequential) and random (random), thanks to full support for NCQ (Native Command Queuing). The order of the IOPS is optimized to improve performance input/output with a Queue Depth (file tail) of 32; this test allows you to observe the behavior of the drive when transferring many small files.
The latest version of the program currently available is 3.0.1. Recall that in versions 1.0, 2.0 and 2.1 were found critical bugs are therefore strongly discouraged.

In this test we did not get thrilling performance, especially in normal mode. However, we will consider only those tests relating to performance in 4K QD32. However the results in the sequential test in 0-fill mode are quite close to those declared.
