Force GS is presented in an attractive box that identifies the capacity, interface, size and speed of the drive, whilst the back features a brief description along with product and serial numbers.

Inside the packet Corsair have bundled a 3.5” to 2.5” metal adapter allowing the user to conveniently attach the drive to the computer chassis. Aside from screws and a warranty leaflet there is nothing else within the included accessories bundle.





With the packaging out of the way we can finally take a good look at the drive itself. Force GS has been given a bright red coating which is a breath of fresh air compared with the majority of black or dark SSDs that are available these days. In the middle there is a label that identifies the capacity of this drive along with the part number - useful should you need to liaise with Corsair customer support.



The surface texture on the outer casing for Force GS has a rough feel to it. Although it can appear smooth to the eye from some angles the surface is in fact grainy – this outer casing is metal.

Flipping the 2.5” SSD over to take a look at the underside there is a smooth metal plate protecting the underneath. This plate has a brushed aluminium appearance and having metal construction on both sides means that we have a rather sturdy storage drive before us. Four screws hold this metal plate onto the underside of the SSD and a large sticker covers one of the screws informing the user that should they remove the screws warranty is void.





On the next page we will take the covers off to reveal the inner-workings of Force GS Series.
