Corsair Nova Series V128 128GB SSD

Over the past six months, Corsair has been phasing out its older SSD line-up and replacing it with new series' with catchier names, such as Reactor, Force and Nova. The latter is what we're taking a look at here. The goal of the Nova series is to offer...

On the first page, we spent quite a few words on exploring the various model SSDs Corsair sells on the market, and for one simple reason. Out of all the models listed there are only two worth considering, either because the others were superseded or...

Corsair Nova Series 128GB Solid State Drive Review

Final Thoughts With all of the attention being on the SandForce controller lately it is good to see Indilinx come out with the Barefoot ECO controller that allows you to take advantage of the speeds of the Barefoot controller, but at a lower cost than...

Not for System Drive

I installed this drive as the system drive and put WinXP on it for testing. System was a dual core Pentium running at 3.4 GHz and it had 3.75 GB of RAM. The drive performed slow with annoying lag times. Installing programs onto this drive was slow...

Good for a backup, not OS

Installed it, and at first I thought it was just something with a clean install that didn't take right. But after looking at the Corsair website, avoid using this drive as a system drive. It is slow, lags whenever you install anything, and programs...
