Specifications & Features

So the sample that has arrived in our secret test facility is the 240GB version of the drive. The Force LS series will come with 60, 120 or 240 GB NAND flash memory, Corsair has not yet released a spec sheet on the memory though Toshiba 19nm Toggle NAND flash is used.

The Firce LS SSD leverages a Phison 6 Gb/s SSD controller paired with Toshiba NAND which delivers high speed file transfer speeds of up to 560 MB/s read and 535 MB/s write, up to 10 times faster than standard hard drives. The new drives support TRIM, garbage collection, and S.M.A.R.T commands and include built-in an advanced dynamic and static wear-leveling algorithm to extend the lifespan of the drive flash memory.

Corsair K70 PRO RGB keyboard review
The Corsair K70 RGB Pro keyboard is the one we’re reviewing today. It’s not the first one from the K70 series checked on guru3d. Previously those were K70 RGB Rapidfire Mk2, also in a low-profile version, and as a TKL, so overall, there shouldn’t be any significant surprise as far as the general concept goes. Corsair K70 RGB Pro takes some K100 RGB and (most of) K70 RGB TKL CHAMPION (already mentioned) features. The suffix “Pro” wasn’t used yet, so probably it was the right time for that.
