The rugged drives now come in capacities up to 128GB without increasing in size and also come in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB variants. They still center on a rubber housing that increases the resistance to shock damage and water.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/16/corsair.adds.capacities.to.flash.voyaget.gt.range/ Fri, 16 Oct 2009 15:50:00 GMT Corsair X256 SSD offers lower-cost speed http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/25/corsair.x256.ssd/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0908/corsairx256.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Corsair today put out a new capacity leader in its Extreme Series SSDs as a bid to claim the best of both worlds. The X256 reaches 256GB of storage but will theoretically cost less than the earlier P256 through slight sacrifices in speed: it reads faster at 240MB per second but gives up a slight amount of write speed, dropping down to 170MB per second, and halves the cache to 64MB. An Indilinx B... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/25/corsair.x256.ssd/ Tue, 25 Aug 2009 13:25:00 GMT Corsair kicks off high-speed Extreme SSDs http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/16/corsair.extreme.ssds/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0907/corsairextreme.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Corsair on Thursday added a second line to its solid-state drives tailored to performance users. The Extreme series uses a fast controler from Indilinx and multi-level cell storage from Samsung to put its speed near the top of the field. Its reading speed crests at 240MB per second and is paired with a maximum write speed of 170MB per second.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/16/corsair.extreme.ssds/ Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:40:00 GMT Corsair ships high-speed 128GB, 64GB SSDs http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/26/corsair.outs.p128.p64.ssd/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0906/corsairp128intro.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Corsair recently announced it has added two new products to its Performance Series solid state drive (SSD) family with the 128GB P128 and 64GB P64. Basically smaller capacity versions of the recently released 256GB P256, they offer the same 220MBps read speeds, with the P128 also sharing the same 200MBps write speed. The P64's write speed is rated at a lower 120MBps.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/26/corsair.outs.p128.p64.ssd/ Fri, 26 Jun 2009 18:30:00 GMT Corsair intros its first full tower PC chassis http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/02/corsair.shows.pc.chassis/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0905/corsair800intro.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />At the Computex show on Tuesday, computer memory, solid state drive and USB drive maker Corsair showed off its first PC chassis, the Obsidian Series 800D. The full tower chassis supports up to five 5.25-inch drives and six 3.5-inch drives in its steel construction, along with support for ATX, Extended ATX and micro ATX mainboards. The chassis is matte black throughout, while its faceplate is made ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/02/corsair.shows.pc.chassis/ Tue, 02 Jun 2009 20:45:00 GMT Corsair Dominator GT DDR3 sets frequency record http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/21/corsais.sets.ddr3.record/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0905/corsairddrrecordintro.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Memory maker Corsair maintained on Wednesday that it has set the world record for DDR3 RAM memory frequency running on a Core i7 system. Using the triple-channel 6GB Dominator GT 2000C7 (PDF) memory, the 2533MHz record was verified and validated by using CPU-Z, a Windows PC statistics app used to identify system components and verify overclocking results. This marks the first time such a frequency... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/21/corsais.sets.ddr3.record/ Thu, 21 May 2009 20:00:00 GMT Corsair officially ships fast 256GB SSD http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/11/corsair.p256.ssd.ships/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0905/corsairp256.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Corsair this afternoon said it had started shipping the P256, its fastest and also most capacious solid-state drive. The 2.5-inch SATA II drive holds its namesake 256GB thanks to multi-level cell storage but has a fast Samsung controller that lets it read data at 220MB per second and writes at an equally quick 200MB per second. A 128MB cache and native command queuing further add to the practica... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/11/corsair.p256.ssd.ships/ Mon, 11 May 2009 20:40:00 GMT Ultra-fast 256GB Corsair SSD due out soon http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/08/fast.corsair.ssd.coming/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0904/corsairp256.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Corsair is set to release an ultra-fast 256GB solid state drive, according to a Tuesday HotHardWare report. The move would effectively double the company's current number of SSD offerings and would share Samsung technology. The new SSD has a new controller, however, and and integrated 64MB of cache that improves performance significantly. When the new SSD arrives in stores, it is likely to be call... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/08/fast.corsair.ssd.coming/ Wed, 08 Apr 2009 17:35:00 GMT Corsair brings its first SSD to market http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/21/corsair.enter.ssd.market/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0901/corsairSSD.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Computer memory manufacturer Corsair recently unveiled its first solid-state drive with the S128. Meant for the mainstream user, the S128 has a 128GB capacity and relatively average read speeds of 90MBps and write speeds of 70MBps. What differs the S128 from similar drives, the company claims, is its use of a Samsung controller instead of the more common JMicron 602 controller used in MLC SSDs suc... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/21/corsair.enter.ssd.market/ Wed, 21 Jan 2009 21:20:00 GMT Corsair intros rugged Flash Voyager Mini http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/12/corsair.flash.voyager.mini/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0806/corsairflashvoyagermini.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Corsair this morning claimed a minor breakthrough in flash drives courtesy of its new Flash Voyager Mini. Like the larger Voyagers, the drive is shielded in a rubber case that protects both against shocks as well as water and other natural hazards. By using a newer all-in-one board design, however, the Voyager Mini not only shrinks to just over an inch long but also frees up space for a retractin... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/12/corsair.flash.voyager.mini/ Thu, 12 Jun 2008 15:10:00 GMT
