With the
Force GS from Corsair you get a 240 Gigabyte
SSD which is based on a SandForce SF-2281 controller and Toggle NAND Flash memory from
San Disk.
These have been manufactured using a 24 nanometer process and the exact product
number is SDZNPQBHER-016GT. Unfortunately we don't know how many P/E-cycles
these chips allow but since a smaller manufacturing process reduces P/E-cycles
we guess that these chips must be somewhere between 3'000 and 5'000 P/E-cycles.
A closer look at the delivery shows that there is 2.5 inch to 3.5 inch
adapter bracket, a set of screws and a manual. There is no disk imaging software included in the
bundle.
