We've seen various capacities of Corsair's Force SSD drives on our test benches now and we've been struck with their performance. Corsair is now giving a 40GB version which will initialy fit the demographic for users who need a boot drive with the speed of an partizan level SSD but not having the price tag of the higher capacity drives. Using an SSD as a boot drive - OS and eventual applications on the SSD and files and documents on a platter drive can be a very much cheap the way to get your feet wet in the SSD computing land.

The packaging is similar to other Force series drives but what is not added is a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter plate so you'll have to wing it a bit if your case doesn't offers bays for 2.5" drives. Really, these things have no portable parts and are so friendly that mounting them isn't altogether necessary unless your PC is given to be mobile.
