The Era of hard drive;s has finished and now it’s the era of super fast solid state drives which are not only the faster, they are reliable and have long life span and consume less power so notebook users get that extra low power consumption factor in count and that increase the battery of their notebooks about 7% which is enough for mostly people. SSD are much faster as SSD in my PC, boot the OS in 12.68 seconds while I have install every software which I may ever needed and I did not disable any startup program to open on start. Today we are going to review a fast SSD from corsair which is Corsair Neutron GTX SSD of 480 GB storage space.

If we take a look at past 2 or 3 years, SSDs which greater storage has much shaky performance and that was due to old NANA flash and the old controller while Corsair Neutron GTX has new LAMD Amber controller which impact the performance very much in positive way and removes that worry factor which comes into mind about performance when I went to buy a 256GB SSD about 1.3 years ago. Corsair Neutron GTX with the new LAMD Amber controller fully utilize its VRM with much efficiently up to 8 channel which help to perform on consistent basis. The LAMD follows two great techniques to protect the data. First is Error correction code which embedded into the data which is stored and when controller read the data it can detect the errors as well. The other technique is eBoost which basically remove the errors when data is transmitted and it help to reduce the error rate to achieve highest possible accuracy. The Corsair Neutron GTX is one of the best to get today.
Lets take a look at BenchMarks…..
The Corsair Neutron GTX 480GB is very fast SSD and it does not have shaky performance while having 480GB storage space. Corsair Neutron GTX 480GB has new LAMD controller and 256MB of DRAM cache. It performs consistently and much low error rate than we normally experience. Corsair Neutron GTX 480GB is fast, reliable and it is no doubt at the top in 480GB category. Price is the main factors which keep the most users away but who want the performance, Corsair Neutron GTX 480GB does performance very best.
- New LAMD controller.
- Top class performance.
- 480GB storage space.
- Consistent performance.
- Low power consumption.
- Low error rate.
- Enthusiasts choice.
