Corsair Force LS 240GB Review

👤by David Mitchelson Comments 📅13-09-13
Conclusion

In the last 6 months SSD prices have plummeted and the fight for storage limelight has become increasingly fierce. Have Corsair done enough to steal the attention?

Throughout our benchmark testing the Force LS demonstrated good results in the sequential read/write arena. The ATTO results were particularly good but during Iometer the drive struggled to maintain consistency.



The reliability of the Phison PS3108 controller remains unknown at this point, although this is a new venture for Corsair we can place confidence in their rigorous pre-production testing.

Pricing is an area which is a particular highlight for Force LS. The 240GB version we have reviewed today can be found for as little as £153 which is regarded as great value for money. Around this price-range there are however a number of popular rivals – competition could well be tough for Force LS.

Corsair’s new Force LS SSD is a good performer – it demonstrated prowess in a range of our benchmarks and comes in at an attractive price-point.

Pros
+ Good performance
+ Affordable
+ TRIM Support
+ 7mm in height (can be installed in slim notebooks)
+ 3 years warranty

Cons
- Fell behind in Iometer benchmarks
- Unknown reliability with new controller
