Slow SSD speeds
Go to solution
Solved by hojnikb,
So real-world performance is significantly less for the Corsair Force 3 than the advertised speeds? That's just the way the drive is?
Pretty much yes. Drive uses cheaper, but much much slower async flash although they can still advertise the same 550/500 speeds, since with sandforce and compression even crappy 10MB/s flash could hit that.
Same thing kingston pulled. First batch of V300 had fast toshiba flash in them (so reviewers got them) but later in the game they switched to async and obviously real world speeds drop quite a bit (even lower than your force3). But since they only advertised compressible speeds, nothing "wrong" was done advertising wise as there was no false advertising.
