Corsair has recently released a new line of SSD geared towards consumers who are on a budget – the Corsair Force LX Series SSD. The new Corsair Force LX Series SSD is not a high performance SSD like the Neutron GTX Series, but it offers a new lower price point for those who want to shift from a mechanical hard drive to a fast SSD. The 128GB features a sequential read/write speed of 560MB/s and 150MB/s respectively; while the 256GB capacity features a sequential read/write speed of 560MB/s and 300MB/s. Check out the rest of its features, specifications, price and where to buy below.
Corsair Force LX Series SSD Features
Powered by a Silicon Motion SSD controller, the Corsair Force LX Series SSDs offer fantastic performance up to 10 times faster than that of a conventional spinning-disk hard drive. Force LX’s SATA 3 file transfer speeds of up to 560 MB/sec read and 300 MB/sec write can massively improve system performance. Operating system start-up and application load times accelerate to mere seconds, anti-virus scans complete far faster, and navigating your PC’s files feels much more responsive thanks to near-instant access times.
A slim-line 7 mm aluminum housing makes it easy to install the Corsair Force LX into almost every desktop or notebook PC with a 2.5 inch drive bay — an ideal upgrade to breathe new life into an notebook, ultrabook or PC in need of a boost. Corsair’s bundled SSD Toolbox software utility is also included as a free download, allowing you to easily optimize your SSD’s performance, clone your existing hard drive, or securely erase all data on a drive. TRIM, NCQ and S.M.A.R.T. technologies automatically maintain drive performance for years to come, and Corsair tops off the package with a 3 year warranty and legendary customer service for total peace of mind.
