Corsair recently revealed its Accelerator Series of SSD drives aimed for those looking for caching solutions. Operating on SATA II 3.0 Gbps, sequential read/write speeds of up to 280 MB/s and 270 MB/s are possible.
The drive comes in three capacities, 30 GB, 45 GB and 60 GB.
The caching software is developed by Nvelo which brings together the HDD and SSD drives into one single storage device.
For those unfamiliar with SSD caching drives, essential they are paired with a larger capacity HDD which stores most of the data. Files that are most commonly accessed, as well as the operation system are stored on the SSD.
The benefits of such a pairing are faster boot up times along with application start times. File copying is also stated to be 5x quicker as well.
Sales of the Corsair Accelerator SSDs will start in February, for prices of $69 (30 GB), $84 (45 GB) and $99 (60 GB).
