Corsair Neutron GTX 120GB SSD Review

Bullies in these settings were highly unlikeable, but always just “misunderstood”, and in the end they always wound up getting their butts kicked by an unlikely source. Since it’s that time of year, I can’t help but think of Ralphie going off on the coon skin cap wearing goon in “A Christmas Story”. Ralphie was half his size and came out of nowhere. It would be like a 120GB coming out and performing like a 240GB. We all know that doesn’t happen since 120s are too small and their performance seems to downsize as well. But….what one did?

Equipped with Link-A Media Device’s latest controller, the Corsair Neutron GTX 120GB comes in poised to take on not only the competition, but many larger drives as well. The Corsair GTX 120GB SSD doesn’t shy away from incompressible data like many other drives, and keeps its speeds regardless of data type. The speeds of the Neutron GTX 120GB are not shy, either, with 550MB/s read and 330MB/s write. IOPS permance is over 80k at 4k aligned, with no degredation due to data type. To take advantage of the performance, the Neutron GTX 120GB uses a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and is backwars compatible to SATA I and SATA II. For ultrabook users the Neutron GTX fits into the new 7mm form factor while still offering enthusiast class performance. Corsair backs the Neutron GTX 120GB SSD with a five year warranty.
