Corsair Neutron XTi 480GB SSD Review

Storage/SSD by stefan @ 2016-07-07

For the Neutron XTi, Corsair has picked up a controller we have seen with other low-cost TLC SSDs manufactured by PHISON, paired it with quite a bit of DDR3 RAM cache (1GB) and has also used Toshiba 15nm MLC NAND Flash in order to obtain sustained performance, no matter the file sizes we are transferring to it.

Product Features, Specifications

Product Features:

 

Exceptional transfer speeds

 

The SATA 6Gb/s effectively saturates the SATA 6Gbp/s interface, SSD providing a sequential read of up to 560Mb/s, sequential write of up to 540Mb/s, 4KB random reads of up to 100K IOPS and 4K random writes of up to 90K IOPS.

 

End-to-End Data Path Protection

 

ETEP protects the entire data path within the SSD controller. From the host to the NAND gate, ensuring data is protected against corruption.

 

5 year warranty

 

Peace of mind. A statement of Corsair product quality and reliability.

 

High Performance Quad-Core SSD Controller

 

The first solid-state drive on the market to feature a dedicated quad-core processor for top tier performance with low command latency and sustained performance achieved by utilizing unique quad-core controller.

 

Consistent Performance

 

Very high sustained transfer rates enabled by expanded cache make it possible to capture and edit professional Full HD and 4K uncompressed video in real-time, as well as play PC games with absolute maximum detail levels.

 

Low Power Consumption

 

95% less power consumption than standard HDDs means better energy efficiency for your desktop machine and longer battery life for your laptop. Also includes support for DEVSLP (device sleep).
