Corsair Neutron GTX 240 GB Review

Introduction

Corsair is one of the innovation leaders in the memory and power supply market.

At Computex this year, the company announced that they would introduce a new SSD controller from the relatively unknown company Link A Media, also called LAMD, to their lineup. Their LM87800 SATA 6 Gbps flash controller promises high-performance and very high write-performance, especially with incompressible data.

The LM87800 supports eight NAND channels with high-speed ONFi 2.3 and Toggle 1 flash interfaces using MLC, eMLC, and SLC flash chips.

Corsair has not only added the Neutron GTX to their lineup, but also a non-GTX version just called "Neutron", which offers slightly less performance at reduced pricing. Both drives are available in capacities of 120 GB and 240 GB.
