After OCZ, Corsair now announcing the migration of its SSD to the Flash memory etched into 25 nm. Corsair capitalizes on the mistakes of his competitor for best avoided: the company communicates clearly before making the change and attribute it mainly a reference to the new models different from that of the ancients.
Corsair, the SSDs using Flash in 25 nm receive an additional letter A (eg F80-A instead of F80). In addition, Corsair takes care to give the actual usable capacity of its SSD. Thus, a model that has 120 GB of memory installed (128 GiB) but not present as 115 GB per user (the rest being devoted to the management of the wear of cells) is stamped F115-A.
The catalog finds it difficult Corsair SSD, but consumers make informed choices. Corsair announces also have not noticed a dramatic loss of performance due to the passage in 25 nm. The company even provides on his blog a set of results of conventional tests (PC Mark, Crystal DiskMark, AS-Solid State, copies of files) to get an accurate idea of the differences between the two generations.
For the moment only the SSD controller SandForce are concerned. And among these, only 25 nm two models were launched: the F80-A and F115-A. The F180 and F240 Force should pass within 25 nm than in March, once Corsair has developed a firmware that does not alter the capacity capacity. Small Force F40 and F60, they will not go directly into 25 nm.
Corsair will replace with a new design, using more chips to maintain a constant capacity. These models are therefore more expensive, and thus lose much of their interest. For Corsair insists that the memory in 25 nm should allow lower prices: the F80-A and F115-A, will normally be sold cheaper than the F80 and F120 ($ 15 less for the F115-A).
