The front features an image of the drive with a few details regarding the drive’s overall performance. You can easily spot the Corsair Force LX SSD with its lime green packaging. If a marketing budget is fairly low, publishers sometimes delay reviews until launch day so that the day the game is released the customer is showered in a sea of (hopefully great) reviews at no cost to the publisher. This puts the SSD’s at roughly $0.50/GB, which is a very fair price for an entry-level drive. Late reviews can also be a deliberate marketing tactic. The 128GB capacity features the same listed maximum sequential read, but a lower sequential write at 150 MB/s.īoth the 128 and 256GB capacities are accompanied by a pretty amazing price point of $74.99 and $129.99 accordingly. Corsair gave us the heads up that we should expect the Force LX SSD to reach up 560 MB/s for sequential read and up to 300 MB/s for sequential write. Staying with the entry-level theme, the Corsair Force LX SSD will be available in two capacities, 128 and 256 GB.

The largest difference between your hard drive and a SSD is the fact that SSD’s increase your system’s speed immensely, never mind that they also come with a bunch of other features that make them far superior to that of a hard drive. To briefly explain, a solid state drive is a storage device that is found within your computer and will hold all of your data, including your operating system, pictures, videos and documents. If you have never heard of a solid state drive before, or an SSD, then you may be in for shock as to how much time you have wasted waiting on your computer’s hard drive. While not being the ‘top-of-the-line’ option for gaming rigs, you’re still going to notice a significant performance increase over a hard disk drive. When we say teaser, we really mean teaser, as the Force LX SSD is another budget-friendly option when it comes to upgrading or replacing the storage drive in your system. Luckily, there are a few companies that leave some products as a teaser before the big show, and with just a few days before the Taiwan-based convention, Corsair has done just that with the release of the Corsair Force LX solid state drive. Typically, just before major technology conventions such as CES or Computex, one can expect that new product releases will be few and far between.
