Posted on Tuesday, February 02 2010 @ 17:34 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck
Corsair is working on the Nova and Reactor solid state disks. The Nova is a 2.5-inch SATA 3Gbps model with 64GB or 128GB MLC NAND flash memory, 64MB buffer, 215MB/s read speeds and 130MB/s (V64 model) or 195MB/s (V128 model) write speeds.

The Reactor has similar specifications but is equipped with a mini-USB connector and 128MB cache. The 60GB model offers read speeds of up to 250MB/s and write speeds of 110MB/s, while the 120GB model promises read speeds of up to 250MB/s and write speeds of up to 170MB/s.

It's unknown which SSD controller is used by these drives.
The 64GB and 128GB Nova SSDs are priced at about 163 and 308 Euro, while the 60GB and 120GB Reactor drives go for 154 and 300 Euro, respectively. All these SSDs should become available shortly.
