Corsair Debuts Neutron SSDs, PSU With DSP-Based Design


Corsair unveiled several new products at Computex this year, including its Neutron Series SSDs and the AX1200i Digital ATX PSU, both best-of-show winners. The Neutron Series, which include flagship GTX models, use Link_A_Media Devices’ LM87800 6Gbps controller. Expected in July (pricing to come), the GTX models will hit 120, 240, and 480GB sizes and support 90,000 random read/write IOPS and 555/500MBps read/write sequential rates. The Neutron Series will include 120 and 240GB models with 90,000/85,000 random read/write IOPS and 555/370MBps read/write sequential speeds. The AX1200i, meanwhile, combines a DSP-based design with Corsair’s Link technology to support real-time temperature, current draw, and power efficiency monitoring; fan speed adjustment; and switching from a default single +12V rail config to customized multi-rail mode. Corsair also debuted the Dominator Platinum DDR3 memory line in dual- and quad-channel kits spanning 8 to 64GB sizes, reaching up to 2,800MHz frequencies, and including a customizable light bar with “user-swappable light pipe” for matching the sticks with other PC lighting and components.
