Corsair Prepping 3.5″ 512GB SSD



Along with the news that Corsair has launched two new high performance traditional SSD’s lines, comes rumour of a not so traditional product; a 3.5 inch 512GB solid state drive.

The technical specs are scant,however initial reports from Hexus.net suggest the device will feature a beefy 128MB cache and provide impressive speeds of 240mb/s write and 200mb/s read.

The image of the unit shows that the device may simply be a 3.5″ dock, and suggests that the drive(s) housed inside are Corsair high performance drives; likely dual 256GB units in a RAID 0 array given the speed.

It’s not said to be cheap, with speculation that dollar and cents figures will run around 1,250GBP or US$1,748. Two of Corsair’s current Xtreme series 256GB drives ring in it at approximately $1,699 CAD.
