Corsair Neutron 240GB and Neutron GTX 240GB SSD Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell September 6, 2012 Featured Announcement, SSD Drives

The ATTO Disk Benchmark performance measurement tool is compatible with Microsoft Windows. Measure your storage systems performance with various transfer sizes and test lengths for reads and writes. Several options are available to customize your performance measurement including queue depth, overlapped I/O and even a comparison mode with the option to run continuously. Use ATTO Disk Benchmark to test any manufacturers RAID controllers, storage controllers, host adapters, hard drives and SSD drives and notice that ATTO products will consistently provide the highest level of performance to your storage.

Both drives score well in ATTO, although the standard Neutron 240GB is considerably behind the Sandforce 2281 powered drives in this strictly compressible bandwidth test.

The Neutron GTX 240GB fares better, delivering a 557 MB/s read and 505 MB/s write score. This is due to the higher cost Toshiba Toggle Mode 24nm NAND flash memory Corsair have incorporated into this drive.

Some comparison results from other leading products available on the market today.

KitGuru Games: A decade of GOTY winners – did voters get it WRONG?

The Game Awards have been around for well over a decade and at this point, the TGAs have cemented themselves as the biggest awards show for the industry. Keighley knows how to draw people in with promises of new game trailers and other announcements, leading to huge moments like Bethesda's reveal for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, or Microsoft's Xbox Series X reveal. Winning the show's GOTY award is considered to be a badge of honour, so let's take a look back at the last ten GOTY winners and whether or not they deserved it.

very sexy indeed. interesting to see them only releasing 120gb and 240gb. The GTX has space on the rear of the PCB for more chips? 480GB at £330 would be great.

Shame they aren’t bundling acronis with the drives, well worth an inclusion IMO for mirroring the boot drive.

Great, but is the ordinary version well priced? the GTX is only a few quid extra, seems a better deal when facotring in write perf,.
