Corsair releases new performance SSDs Image 1

Corsair expanded its lineup of Performance Series solid state drives by filling in the niches below its existing P256 SSD with the release of the P128 (128GB) and P64 (64GB) drives. The Corsair P128 has the same performance as its larger sibling with read speeds of 220MB/sec and write speeds of 200MB/sec. The P64 is not quite as fast in the write department with read speeds 220MB/sec and write speeds of up to 120MB/sec.

Both drives are built using multi-level cell NAND flash technology and come equipped with a Samsung controller, 128MB of cache and NCQ support. Corsair claims the use of the more sophisticated Samsung controller allow the drives to eliminate the stutter problem found in cheaper drives.

The P128 is available now and a check of Corsair's retail partners showed it can be had for $339-$355US. The P128 has a MTBF of 100+ years and comes with a two-year warranty. The P64 is expected to become available in early July.
