Storage/SSD by stefan @ 2014-07-28

Corsair has developed another great product in the name of the LX 256GB SSD, which has a very accessible price point and offers very decent performances all over the board. Regarding the internal construction, we could remind the Silicon Motion SM2246EN controller, 128MB of DDR3 buffer, but also 8 MLC NAND Flash chips with 32GB capacity each.

Solid-state storage that’s fast, compatible, and easy to install

Replacing your mechanical hard drive with fast, reliable solid-state storage is a smart performance upgrade, and Force Series LX SSDs help make it easy. They have a slim 7mm form factor for compatibility with thin and light notebooks as well as standard desktop systems. SATA 3 support provides optimal speed on the latest systems, and backward compatibility with SATA 2 also makes them ideal for upgrading older PCs.

Driver-free installation helps you get up and running faster, too. And, it includes Corsair SSD Toolbox, our exclusive software for managing your Corsair solid-state drive and maintaining its performance.

SATA 3 speed, SATA 2 compatible

The performance of Force Series LX is optimized for the SATA 3 standard. Haven't yet moved to SATA 3? No problem. Like all Corsair components, Force Series LX SSDs are designed to last through several system upgrades. Adding a Force Series LX today means that you'll still get fast and dependable storage performance now, and your SSD will be ready for your next upgrade.

7mm height for broad PC and laptop compatibility

Force Series LX has a height of 7mm, so it will fit into the latest generation of thin and light notebook PCs. Of course, it works in standard desktop PCs, too.

TRIM support

Force Series LX SSDs feature support for the TRIM command under Windows® 7 and later. This allows them to store only the data they need and perform memory optimization to ensure the fastest possible write speeds.

High 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 and laptops.

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.

Corsair SSD Toolbox

Corsair SSD Toolbox is our exclusive software for managing your Corsair solid state drive and maintaining its performance. It's a free download for owners of Corsair SSDs, and it works under Windows XP, Windows 7, and Windows 8.
