Corsair Launches P256 SSD Using Samsung Controller,128MB Cache

From DailyTech: Corsair is a company best known for their DRAM products, targeted mostly at the enthusiast market. In January, they entered the SSD market with a less than stellar product, but it was an important first step.

Things are improving though this week for Corsair Storage Solutions. The company is shipping a high-performance 256GB MLC SSD using a Samsung controller and 128MB of cache. The hardware involved is very similar to Samsung's own SSD product, which it currently only ships to OEMs. Samsung currently has no plans to sell the PB22-J directly to the channel, according to Samsung SSD Product Manager Brian Beard in an email.

The Corsair P256 delivers maximum read speeds of up to 220 MB/sec and maximum write speeds of up to 200MB/sec. Random read and write speeds were not immediately available.
