Equipped with SandForce SF-2281 and SanDisk Toggle Mode NAND the recipe for success is there, has Corsair got all the boxes ticked?

Only a few weeks ago we reviewed the Vertex 4 and we were impressed by its performance delivery and there were little to rival such a drive, and then along comes the Force GS Series - completely blowing this drive out of the water. If you have looked at the performance benchmarks on the preceding pages you will notice mostly run sequential tests as this provides the most intensive and rigorous procedures. Force GS Series dealt with these tests very well indeed and demonstrated consistent transfer rates.



Priced at around £240inc. VAT this 240GB SSD is bang on £1 per GB and is therefore a good value for money option for those wanting SATA 6GB/s performance. Although right now the Force GS Series is a good value for money, the storage market has recently seen significant price-drops and Corsair should probably respond to this by dropping the price slightly in order to remain more competitive.

The Force GS Series is without doubt one of the best SandForce driven SSDs out there. It pushes the boundaries for performance, is very sturdy, comes with 3 years peace of mind warranty and looks quite funky too. Due to all of these aspects the Force GS Series deserves nothing less than our Gold award for excellence.
