The Corsair Force lineup uses different controllers on different models so it can be very important to do a bit of research before you purchase one. The Force GT 240GB that [H]ard|OCP reviewed uses the SandForce SF-2282 controller and clocks in at under $1/GB and with the current deal it is only $0.73/GB. Part of [H]'s testing of these drives now includes the AS SSD test, which is particularly hard on SandForce base SSDs as it utilizes non-compressible data, however this SSD still kept up with the competition and sometimes surpassed them. Check out the full review for the whole story.

I’m debating between the GS
I’m debating between the GS and GT line for a new build. Is there really a difference with the GT’s Synchronous NAND and the GS’s Toggle NAND?
