Corsair P256 256GB MLC Solid State Drive Review @ Legit Reviews

[news 28]

This Friday we have the world's first full review of the Corsair P256 256GB MLC Solid State Drive!!!

 

The Corsair P256 Solid State Drive uses Samsung Multi-Layer Cell (MLC) flash chips along with a 1GB DDR cache chip and the new 2nd generation Samsung controller to deliver 214MB/s read and 190MB/s write speeds! This means that the Corsair P256 is one of the fastest SSDs on the market today, so sit back and check this new bad boy out!

 

Quote: "When comparing the Corsair P256 SSD to other popular 2.5" notebook hard drives you can see that it dominates the four other drives that we have benchmarked on the same test system with the Intel ICH10R south bridge. Even the Super Talent MasterDrive OX 64GB SSD didn't stand a chance and was destroyed by the Corsair P256 SSD in the read and write tests. In fact the Corsair P256 had an average write speed that was 280% greater than the speeds seen on the Super Talent OX 64GB SSD that just came out in the winter of 2008. "

"In the end the it turns out that the Corsair P256 Solid State Drive is nothing more than a re-badged Samsung PB22-J 256GB SSD. There is nothing wrong with this though as numerous companies re-label products and call them what they wish. I am actually glad that Corsair is selling this drives under their name as the Samsung PB22-J 256GB SSD is only available to OEMs since Samsung doesn't sell its SSDs direct to the consumer. This means that Corsair is the first company to bring this product to the consumer market and it will be a big deal as you can see that performance is amazing on this SSD...
