Corsair's latest SSDs utilize JMicron JMF612 and Indilinx Barefoot controller technologies to deliver a greater price/performance and Windows 7 TRIM
support.
Corsair today announced the addition of the Reactor
Series and Nova Series to its family of solid-state
drives (SSDs).
The Reactor Series, including 60GB and 120GB drive
capacities, is built using the new JMicron JMF612
controller. This second-generation controller from
JMicron incorporates 128MB of DDR2 cache memory for
stutter-free performance. The 120GB Reactor Series
SSD delivers speeds of up to 250MB/s read and
170MB/s write, while the 60GB Reactor Series SSD
features speeds up to 250MB/s read and 110 MB/s
write.
The Nova Series is built using the Indilinx Barefoot
controller with 64MB of cache memory, and is offered
in drive sizes of 64GB and 128GB. The 128GB Nova
Series SSD is able to achieve speeds of up to
270MB/second read and 190MB/second write, while the
64GB Nova Series SSD delivers speeds up to 270MB/s
read and 130MB/s write.
Both Reactor Series and Nova Series SSDs fully
support the TRIM command in Microsoft Windows 7
operating systems, which automatically maintains
optimal performance over the lifetime of the drives.
The Reactor Series and Nova Series are available
immediately from Corsair's authorized distributors
and resellers worldwide and are backed by a Two-Year
Limited Warranty.
