This Just In: Corsair Nova 128GB SSD


<p>
I haven&#39;t taken a look at a new Corsair SSD in a while. The company started out by shipping relatively uninteresting Samsung based SSDs, but since then we&#39;ve seen Corsair ramp up adoption of newer technologies fairly quickly. With drives from Indilinx and now SandForce onboard, it&#39;s time for an update from one of the first companies to ever visit me in NC over a decade ago.</p>
<p>
Next week I should receive their new <a href="http://www.anandtech.com/show/2899">SandForce</a> SF-1200 based drive, the Corsair Force, however today I got their Indilinx Barefoot based Nova drive:</p>

<p>
This drive is based on Indilinx&#39;s Barefoot controller but uses 34nm Intel NAND (other NAND vendors are supported as well). It&#39;s Corsair&#39;s version of the G.Skill Falcon II we looked at a while back, or OCZ&#39;s Solid 2. I&#39;m running it through our test suite now, expect to see results in <a href="http://www.anandtech.com/bench/ssd">Bench</a> in the next couple of days.</p>
