Corsair Force Series 3 SSD

If you're after a speedy - but still affordable - SSD, looks like Corsair's new Force Series 3 SSDs might be just what you're looking for.

These Corsair SSDs use brand new SandForce controllers (SandForce SF-2281) and SATA III 6Gbps connections for maximum performance. What does all that mean? It means you can get up to 550 and 520 MBps read and write speeds, and handle 85,000 IOPs.

Not bad at all considering you can get these Force Series 3 SSDs starting at just $139 for the 60GB model. ($219 for the 120GB, and $499 for the 240GB model)
