Corsair have announced a new range in their solid state hard drives (SSD), the Neutron Series XTi.

Neutron Series XTi SSD’s feature a quad-core controller and performance MLC NAND with SATA 6Gbps interface allowing up to 560MB/sec transfer rates and 540MB/s sequential write with sustained performance consistency.

The range will be available in 240GB, 480GB and 960GB sizes and in the near future Corsair will release their first 1920GB SSD. Pricing for the different sizes start from $89.99 (256GB), $159.99 (480GB) and $329.99 (960GB). The 1920GB price is yet to be confirmed, but given the price of the 960GB it should be around the $699 price point.

The Neutron Series XTi is aimed at gamers and video professionals who are looking for the high sustained transfer rates and expanded cache. This should allow for Full HD and 4K uncompressed video in real time, as well as PC games being able to be played at max detail (graphics card permitting of course).

For further performance and efficiency gains the Neutron Series XTi range is said to require 95% less power than the traditional hard drive, supports device sleep mode and comes with extra power loss protection using advanced SmartFlush™ and GuaranteedFlush™ technologies.

Neutron Series XTi range is available immediately from Corsair’s authorised retailers and comes with a 5 year warranty.
