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.
