    Dont be fooled by the 85k iops number. I was thinking this is the fastest SSD in the world. Nope, it is not!

    Corsair staff confirmed the asynchronous NAND will not be as fast as the force GT by miles. The random read IOPS is nowhere near Vertex 3 Max IOPS but of course it is a lot cheaper.

    Still a very very good drive, but dont be fooled by the numbers and assume it is a top end product!

    The GT is also listed to use more power on both idle and active.
