Corsair is truly on the offensive when it comes to Solid State Drives. It has announced a number of models in short time and the P series was expanded with two models with 64GB and 128GB capacity. The Corsair Performance series completely relies on components from Samsung, both memory controller and memory chips. With the new Extreme series Corsair has turned to a new partner for the memory controller, namely Indilinx.
Indilinx and Samsung are offering the most popular SSD controllers, Intel's own aside, and unlike Corsair's Samsung-based P series the new X series has higher read speeds but lower write speed, 240MB/s and 170MB/s respectively.
The storage capacity stretches up to 128GB using Samsung MLC NAND flash memory, from 32GB via a 64GB model.
