Corsair Unveils Flaming Red Force GT Series SATA 6 Gb/s SSDs
Corsair's best memory modules come under the Dominator line, the best Dominator modules are marked under Dominator GT, with their distinctive flaming red heatsinks. Corsair is looking to extend the "GT" marker even to its SSDs, and is ready with the Force GT line of 2.5-inch SATA 6 Gb/s SSDs. As you can see, the flaming red product scheme is carried over. Driven by the latest SandForce SF-2000 series controllers, Force GT offers read speeds of up to 520 MB/s, and 500 MB/s write speeds. It is available in number of capacities in the higher quadrant. At least the 240 GB model will be launched very soon. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by owikh84: Mar 10 2011, 09:11 PM |

It's good enough.
Take a look at the following graphs:      It may have slower raw write speeds, but for the "average" workload, it has more than good enough performance. The only downside is that the Intel G3 is coming out in the next few months. It is hoped that their cost/GB is even lower and they will have somewhat better performance than the G2. Read/write: G2's 250/100 vs G3's 250/170. They'll lose to current generation performance SSDs which can hit past 500MB/s, but if Intel can drive their prices down, their G3s can still be made into bargain buys for 80% of the market. |

Unless the traders can give you an idea on when to expect OEM versions, don't expect to buy a G3 for ~RM700 shortly after release. It really depends on your situation. If you want an SSD now, buy. If you can afford to wait, be prepared to wait up to six months.

If you can afford to wait, be prepared to wait up to six months. i'm in exactly this situation. to buy now or to wait. i'm thinking the best i couod hope for by waiting is to get the g3 160gb at roughly the same price as today's oem from owikh... is that logical? since i'll be using it in a laptop with only sata 2 there wont be much difference in performance... right? |

In terms of effectively using the raw power, you are correct.
QUOTE Next up is PCMark Vantage, another system-wide performance suite. For those of you who aren’t familiar with PCMark Vantage, it ends up being the most real-world-like hard drive test I can come up with. It runs things like application launches, file searches, web browsing, contacts searching, video playback, photo editing and other completely mundane but real-world tasks. [...] Any performance impacts here would most likely be reflected in the real world.  http://www.anandtech.com/show/4186/ocz-ver...ocused-sf2200/9 Vertex 3, faster than the G2 by 2x, but only 20% better scores. QUOTE SYSMark 2007 isn't nearly as demanding on the storage subsytem so we're mostly bottlenecked elsewhere.  http://www.anandtech.com/show/4186/ocz-ver...cused-sf2200/10 Vertex 3, faster than the G2 by 2x, but only 5% better scores and just 9% faster than a Velociraptor. These two are the general use benchmarks. The other benchmarks used are mostly focused on HDD-bounded tasks to show better results, all on a desktop. With a laptop, you are more likely to be bounded by the CPU, so you are better served by buying the largest capacity for the cheapest price that you budget for. There are exceptions of course, like a programmer that compiles huge programs, which can be 100% faster because of the massive random reads and writes. As for hoping for a 50% price cut, it has happened once before with the transition from the G1 to the G2. However, I don't know how long the transition took. |

Guys I'm getting an ssd drive for my CULV laptop soon. Got any recommendation for 60gb ssd? Is Mushkin callisto 60GB is a good buy at RM420? or should I get Vertex 2 or Force F60 instead?

Hi guys,
I was checking thru some bargain that my reseller offer to me: OCZ Agility 2 2.5" 60gb SSD (OCZSSD2-2AGTE60G) @RM 4xx or OCZ Vertex 2 2.5" 60gb SSD (OCZSSD2-2VTXE60G) @RM 4xx + RM10 or OCZ Onxy 2.5" 64gb (OCZSSD2-1ONX64G) @RM 3xx Based on some of the charts that was posted by "everling" forumer, it seems that the Agility performance is much faster. So, it should be better for me to grab the agility version ? Was told that it had MTBF of 2 million hours.  This post has been edited by ultimate1: Mar 14 2011, 11:29 AM |

The MTBF isn't really meaningful for SSDs. Two million hours is 228 years.
This doesn't take into account of the fact that there is at least a 1-4% RMA rate for SSDs today. This also doesn't take into account of the fact that data stored on SSDs will be lost after roughly ten years due to charge degradation. You'll need to "refresh" the stored data by rewriting it if you wish to keep the data beyond ten years. (Of course, by ten years, there should be much superior and cheaper SSD products to replace your creaking old SSD.) This also doesn't take into account of the fact that there is a closer usage limit, the number of times you can write to an SSD. 10,000 times for the first generation, ~5,000 times for the 3x nm Flash, and ~3,000 times for the 2x nm flash. (Although it really isn't a concern for consumers at this time. Practically no one should hit that limit with normal usage.) This post has been edited by everling: Mar 15 2011, 09:46 AM |

I'm actually planning to replace my lappy's hdd to the ssd and see if there's any improvement in terms of performance for normal usage and light games like SC2. Currently doing my research on what is it like to use a ssd, ways to take care of it (from within software settings, as i heard its not very direct and simple to use) and also what to expect of its lifespan and such. Pricing wise, RM 4xx to 5xx is my target price, hopefully can get around 60gb is sufficient as i don't put in too much stuffs into my lappy.

I'm currently reading thru this thread for more ssd info, glad that u guys r so dedicated to put in the various infos that are so useful. Kudos to LYN members. |

I had to rephrase my earlier statement about failure rates. I think they're more of RMA rates and not actual failure rates. People can RMA if they think the SSD is underperforming or for other reasons that has little to do with actual failure.
I had experienced one of the reasons before, when HD Tune reported my SSD to be underperforming, but tests on another machine shows it to be performing as expected. Then I did the file benchmarks on my own machine and it performed as expected, but it is still slow on the main read benchmark. I have no idea why it is like that. For laptop use, my standing recommendation is to prioritise capacity over performance. 500MB/s read/write isn't going to help you if you run out of space on your 64GB. The situation is better if your laptop has a Thunderbolt, e-SATA, USB 3.0 or Firewire port that you can use. Otherwise working over a USB 2.0 connection is just pure pain. Unfortunately there aren't any high capacity SSDs in the RM400-RM500 range, but there are some options in the RM500-RM600 range. Listed below are some SSDs in the current RM400-RM600 range, ordered by cost/GB.
