Corsair announces transition for Force Series SSDs

Corsair has announced its plans for the upcoming transition from 34-nanometer to 25- nanometer flash chips used on its solid-state drives.

"There is a lot of confusion in the market about the impact the move from 34 to 25nm flash will have on both the price and the performance of solid-state drives," said John Beekley, Vice-President of Technical Marketing, Corsair. "We have been working closely with SandForce to ensure the smoothest possible transition and we are sharing the details today."

Flash memory manufacturers are transitioning to using 25nm process for fabrication, allowing them to boost capacity and reduce costs, which in turn will allow SSD suppliers to pass those savings to the consumer. The downside is that SSDs built using 25nm flash ICs may require more over-provisioning (a technique used to ensure reliability) which lowers the capacity of the SSD and may also see a reduction in performance.

"The Corsair and SandForce engineering teams have been working closely with the key flash memory suppliers to profile and qualify 25nm parts and we have been running our Force drives through performance and reliability testing alongside them. We are pleased with the progress that has been made in getting the Force Series 25nm drives ready to ship to customers," continued Beekley.
