Corsair solid state disk drives set a new standard for reliability in desktop and notebook storage solutions. Corsair solid state disk drives utilize specially selected Samsung components to enable a life expectancy of over 100 years and OEM level compatibility and performance consistency. Unlike traditional mechanical hard disk drives, Corsair solid state disk drives have no moving parts. This results in faster system responsiveness, quieter operation and reduced overall system temperatures.

HardOCP has run tests of synchronous vs. asynchronous drives (including the Force 3 and GT), and has come to the conclusion that, although ATTO scores are similar on both drives, the synchronous flash products (i.e. – the Force GT) perform 50-100% better in real-world tests, including tests where the drives are filled to 50 and 75% capacity before testing, and tests that use uncompressed as well as compressed data. Applications load faster, and BOTH power users and regular users see significant REAL WORLD gains from using the products with SYNCHRONOUS flash (i.e. – the Force GT series). If you’re already dropping $170 for a premium product, why wouldn’t you spend another $10 on a product that will probably be 50% faster for you overall in your real-world usage? Buy the Force GT, not the Force III

With the Corsair GT Force SSD’s – all the impressive performance numbers translate to this: disk operations up to four times faster than the fastest mechanical hard drives. Starting up your PC, launching applications, loading and saving large files and documents, and just about everything else you do with your PC is faster when you remove the bottleneck of old-fashioned hard drives

If you’re looking for unhindered speed, Crucial’s RealSSD C300 series solid-state drive is here! The new 2.5″ Crucial RealSSD C300 drive offers mobile and desktop users scorching-fast read speeds of up to 355MB/s. Designed with high-speed MLC NAND, advanced controller technology, optimized NAND management, and the SATA 6Gb/s interface, these drives dramatically improve data transfers for bandwidth-demanding applications like audio and video.

Having installed the Crucial M4 256Gb SSD, applications now launch from the dock so fast they don’t have time to bounce. If you are looking for speed and space, this SSD is perfect for Macbooks. Also, battery life has increased by almost 2 hours for me, your mileage may vary. The macbook also runs a lot cooler, and the fan almost never comes on. Sleep and wake almost instantaneously. The Mac boots up in around 20 seconds and its ready to use.
