eTeknix.com takes a look at the Corsair Neutron 240GB Solid State Drive

As you may or may not know, the vast majority of SSDs on the market utilise the SandForce SF-2281 controller and whilst this controller has certainly made its mark by dominating the market, it like most things does have its downsides. Earlier in the year we saw Corsair announce the new Neutron series of SSDs and the key difference between these and not only their previous drives, but also other drives on the market. What we are taking about there is the new Link-A-Media Devices (LAMD) controller. This new controller is seeing its market début with Corsair and its one that we have been keen to get our hands on since we first heard of its presence in the new drives.

Over the SF-2281 controller, the LM 87800 controller in the Neutron is said to offer up great performance with not only incompressible data, but also compressible data as well, which should hopefully give it the leading edge with its 6Gbps capability.
