Corsair’s First SSD Surfaces Corsair 128GB SSD Available to Pre-Order

Just as rumours began surfacing concerning Corsair's plans to enter with
Solid State Drive (SSD) market an online portal has already put up a
product page concerning a new Corsair 2.5' SATAII 128GB SSD - namely the
Corsair CMFSSD-128GBG1D.

Information is a little sparse at the time of writing but the key fact
and figures are available with Corsair's new 128GB SSD, which uses an
'OEM qualified Samsung controller', offering a purported maximum
sequential read speed of 90MB/s and a maximum sequential write speed of
70MB/s and a MTBF billed as being 100+ years (though based on what level
of day to day usage is unknown).

At this juncture the new Corsair 128GB SSD which, as noted above, is
offered for pre-order with no actual date of release specified, carries
a list price of pound sterling326 (roughly $450 allowing for the present
weak pound) which compares favourably with such as OCZ's SSD's -
including their new lower-priced Apex SSD series (though the performance
of Corsair's drive, it has to be said, at least based on the figures
provided, falls way short of that offered by OCZ's Apex SSDs.
