Corsair Force F40 RAID0

The Force series Solid State Drives are the latest from Corsair. The drives use the newest Sandforce 1200 series controller, which can hit the effective limitations of the SATAII interface. The Force series as reported by Corsair can achieve speeds of "285MBps Sustained Read, and 275MBps Sustained Writes." Most solid state memory devices from USB storage to Solid State Drives, will market an entire series under the speeds that only the largest drives in the series can reach. With drive versions ranging from 40GB to 240GB, this could mean the 40GB Force series drives reviewed here may not hit those speeds; we shall see.
