And here's the PCB, interesting to see as it's much smaller than I expected and the PCB itself is just very clean, no SMT havoc of components at all. BTW - we only opened up the GTX. This 6Gbps storage unit makes use of Toshiba MLC Toggle NAND memory. The regular Neutron uses ONFI Sync NAND, otherwise the design and PCB are 100% similar.

Once we flip the PCB around, in the middle there it is, there it is -- the Link_A_Media Devices (LAMD) LM87800 6Gb/s SSD controller can be seen, completely new in this consumer market, but extremely fast alright...

A total of 8 NAND flash memory ICs (8 on one side) are fixed onto the PCB. The NAND FLASH partition are assigned to the LM87800 6Gb/s SSD controller.

To the right you can see 256MB of DDR2 RAM, at the rear side of the PCB a second DDR2 RAM IC can be found.

The Corsair Neutron GTX comprises of 25nm Toshiba MLC Toggle NAND, the standard Neutron-series SSD has the same layout, although the flash is swapped with synchronous MLC NAND.

Corsair Vengeance K70 review
We review the Corsair Vengeance K70 cherry red mechanical keyboard. The K70 is the successor of the popular K60 but it adds some more features, is much more cool looking with full LED lit keys and has a trick or two encompassed in the new design as well. Let's have a peek shall we ?

Corsair Obsidian 350D review
We review a new chassis from Corsair, it Obsidian 350D. It is the mini-me version of the new Obsidian 900D chassis. Not mid, not full, mini and this intended for small form factor PCs. Now the product might be tagged as mini, the details and features however are grand. Armed with a price much better then the 900D this might be the product a lot of you are on the lookout for.

Corsair Voyager Air review
We review the Voyager Air, it is a portable storage unit allows you to connect it towards USB 3.0 and Ethernet, but it also includes WIFI support and it actually comes on a 100 GB HDD model as well. This great looking device might just be what the doctor to move or stream your content from.

Corsair Obsidian 900D review
We test and review the all new Corsair Obsidian 900D chassis. Not, mid, not full heck, this is a super tower. Probably one of the biggest products you have seen to date. It is highly configurable has hidden options in every corner and a craftsmanship that will stun you.
