500+ Read/Write speeds achieved! Sandforce rules

Corsair Force 3 is perhaps one of the best performing SSD out there having a Sandforce controller that earlier had issues with BSOD (Blue Screen of Death). But with the new firmware release this issue was fixed like 6 months ago. I purchased this drive from Flipkart and to be clear- this SSD is "Phenomenal".

It delivered maximum write speed of 510MB per second and read speed of 560MB per second with 1GB data broken into 1024MB chunks. This is amazing and is just 5-10% lower than the faster O...

Small Wonder!!!

PROs and PROs only:
1. Probably this is the best 120GB SSD at this price.
2. SATA III / 6 Gbps transfer speed.
2. 2.5 t0 3.5 inch adapter provided.
3. Corsair brand name.
4. furioulsy fast. Whereas I get around 90-110 MBPS transfer speed in from my SATA-II to SATA-III HDD, here I get around 400-500 MBPS. Yes!!! you heard it correctly. A 1 GB movie file hardly takes 3 seconds to get tranferred even from my USB 3.0 ext HDD to this SSD. Enable AHCI mode in BIOS to get maximum performance.

Cons:...

Speed is it's middle name!

Bought the Corsair Force Series 3 120GB to help bump up the speed of my computer. When you work on huge files in Photoshop you need good read and write speeds. The best past is you can use it as a "SpeedBoost" drive in Windows 7. Can I make out the difference? Yes! Atleast a 3x improvement in performance. I wish to make it a RAID setup in future. I trust Corsair bigtime to deliver performance and I love FlipKart for making it so convenient.

Good Product

Very Nice Performance. Easy setup in Windows 8. Liked it.

When you migrate to an SSD, make sure your partitions are aligned properly for best performance.

Go to DOS ( Type CMD in run )
> Diskpart
list disk
Select Disk # ( # being the disk no. listed therein )
List partition
Make sure the offset is divisible by 4.

There is also a free tool for this ( google it )

Less heat and better performance

I purchased this to replace a 64 GB Solidata SSD on my desktop. I was running out of space after I installed Premiere Pro. I prefer to use SSD's to run applications/ OS and keep all data on HDDs. Its gives better performance and keeps the OS drive clean.

After several months of use I find this new disk better for the following reasons. It heats up less (as indicated by the sensors on my rig) and the additional space (120 GB versus 64 earlier) gives ample "scratch disk" space for both Photosh...

Best value for money

Corsair Force 3 is an excellent option for anyone wanting to graduate to an SSD. My experience has been that on Windows 8, the start-up time is only about 14-15 seconds & the shutdown takes only 5-6 seconds!

Just ensure that you have enabled AHCI mode in Windows & in BIOS. Also ensure that TRIM support is enabled for the SSD drive. Additionally, it will help to move TEMP directories (both - user & Windows) to point to areas on a conventional HDD to prolong the life of your SSD.

Best bang fo...

Great Product to speed up your old system

I have been using this SSD since last 3 months. I had ordered it after my 3.5 year old Seagate 500GB HDD failed up on me and refused to boot. It worked out of the box after I connected it to the system. My 3.5 year old PC was able to recognise and read from it. The available memory is however shown as 111 GB as against 120 GB of capacity. Win7 installation was a breeze as this drive is faster. After installation noticed that the boot-up time has improved considerably by atleast 30-40%. The pe...

Just Excellent

This is one of the fastest SSDs available right now based on sandforce chips, its a perfect balance between price and perfomance.

It is asynchronous nand and has problems with in-compressible items. Synchronous nand of higher priced products like Corsair Force GT and OCZ Vertex series gets better performance all the time.

But in real world the performance gain is hardly noticeable,if you are upgrading from a hdd you will love the responsiveness of it, the speed and you will absolutely love ...
