Built for speed.
You probably already know that solid-state drives are fast. With up to 85,000 IOPS and read speeds of up to 555Mb/s, Force Series GT is on another level. Whether you're building the ultimate gaming PC, a monster of a video or photo editing workstation, or you simply crave serious solid state storage performance, this is the SSD you want.
Real-world performance.
All the impressive performance numbers translate to this: disk operations up to four times faster than the fastest mechanical hard drives. Starting up your PC, launching applications, loading and saving large files and documents, and just about everything else you do with your PC is faster when you remove the bottleneck of old-fashioned hard drives.
The Force Series GT is particularly adept at moving compressed data. You'll appreciate this real-world benefit if you work with music, movie and graphics files.
Compatible with SATA 2 3Gb/s.
Haven't yet moved to SATA 3? Like all Corsair components, Force Series GT SSDs are designed to last through several system upgrades. Adding a Force Series GT today means that you'll still get incredible storage performance now, and you'll tap into its full performance potential with your next upgrade.
Corsair SSDs: Designed for Performance and Durability
TRIM Support
Force Series GT SSDs feature support for the Windows® 7 TRIM command. This allows them to store only the data they need and perform memory optimization to ensure the fastest possible write speeds.
Force Series GT SSDs are available in unformatted capacities of up to 240GB.
Reliability
Because SSDs have no moving parts, they can handle shock, vibration and temperature changes far in excess of traditional hard drives. That's important for desktop PCs, and essential for notebooks.
Cool and Quiet, with Low Power Consumption
Traditional mechanical hard drives spin at thousands of revolutions per minute. This takes power, and generates noise and heat. Since SSDs have no moving parts, there's no noise or vibration, and the lower power consumption helps keep things cool inside your PC.
3.5" adapter
The 2.5" form factor allows for installation in most notebook PCs with no adapter required. If you're adding a Force Series GT SSD to your desktop PC, use the included 3.5" adapter to mount it in any standard hard drive bay.

Got this awesome SSD for 85$ and I am more than happy about it ! Would have bought 4 of them but I could only buy 1 because it was one per person.. :( In overall, it boots Windows 7 in less than 10 seconds ! And ready to launch any games 5 seconds later !

Bought this to replace a 1TB RAID0 setup as a boot drive, and it works fine. Truth be told I didn't find any real speed increases using it only as an OS drive, but I guess if I were to put programs on it, I'd see better results.

I got two of these puppy's for a raid0 setup and it's just magnificent, I got them refurbished, not even brand new, And they worked without a problem straight outta the package.

I bought the refurb version on sale for $80. It is currently my primary boot drive and I have no issues with it. This is my first SSD, I had no problems with installing and setting up Windows 7.

Added this SSD as a boot drive for my machine. Up time is utterly insane now - BIOS takes longer to load than my OS. Picked the drive up on sale, which is a real plus.

Installed on a 2010 iMac to replace the garbage mac drive. Really fast. Fan spins at full speed after install due to temp sensor. This was remedied by a fan control software.
