Corsair 120GB Force 3 SSD CSSD-F120GB3-BK Product Description
You'll be amazed at the improvement over traditional hard drive access times the first time you turn on your computer, and for virtually everything you do with your PC. System startup, application load times, data transfers, and even shutdown times are all faster..
Your system will be more responsive, and you'll be more productive.
Add up all the time you spend all day waiting for your computer — starting up, loading game levels, saving large files and documents — and it can be significant. Using a PC can be a lot more enjoyable when it's not always making you wait..
Great for the latest high-performance PCs.
There's fast, and then there's force 3. Force Series 3 SSDs have even quicker read and write times when they're installed in PCs that use the latest SATA 3 interface.
Compatible with SATA 2 3Gb/s.
Haven't yet moved to SATA 3? Like all Corsair components, Force Series 3 SSDs are designed to last through several system upgrades. Adding a Force Series 3 today means that you'll still get incredible storage performance now, and your SSD will be ready for your next upgrade.
Get more for less - The cost-effective SATA 3 SSD solution.
Choosing a Force Series 3 SSD helps your computing budget go farther. They deliver outstanding SATA 3 6Gb/s performance, with prices that are comparable to lower-performance SATA 2 3Gb/s solid-state drives.
Corsair SSDs: Designed for Performance and Durability
TRIM Support
Force Series 3 SSDs feature support for the Windows® 7 TRIM command. This allows them to store only the data they need and perform memory optimization to ensure the fastest possible write speeds.
Reliability
Because SSDs have no moving parts, they can handle shock, vibration and temperature changes far in excess of traditional hard drives. That's important for desktop PCs, and essential for notebooks.
Cool and Quiet, with Low Power Consumption
Traditional mechanical hard drives spin at thousands of revolutions per minute. This takes power, and generates noise and heat. Since SSDs have no moving parts, there's no noise or vibration, and the lower power consumption helps keep things cool inside your PC.
3.5" adapter
The 2.5" form factor allows for installation in most notebook PCs with no adapter required. If you're adding a Force Series SSD to your desktop PC, use the included 3.5" adapter to mount it in any standard hard drive bay.

Awsome drive
operating system:Windows 7Firstly let me mention the 2.5" to 3.5" adaptor bracket included with this drive which is a tray that the ssd sits in. It is painted black to match the drive and has a corsair logo on it to look the part but was sharp enough to shave with so mind those fingers! Set AHCI in the bios installed windows 7 then set trim and got a windows index score of 7.9! I have cleared and rerun the index test three times (Not just refreshed) with the same result each time of 7.9. The drive is installed through a sata 3 port on a z68x motherboard which the drives are said to favor and in my short experience of having one they do. The windows 7 flying logo gets cut off before finishing its animation as the os loads so fast and you can instantly click on apps / programs as soon as the desktop appears.
Speedy little thing.
operating system:Windows 7Using this drive as the OS / steam drive. I have > 150GB of steam games to install so I picked a few I wanted on the SSD and the rest I made a symbolic link to another drive (1.5TB but slower) Good solution if you want to have steam games on different drives

Crucial m4 is more expensive and slower
The 26th Aug anonymous reviewer claimed that the Crucial m4 128GB model has faster write speeds. On Crucial's site, their m4 drive is rated 415Mbytes/sec read, 175Mbytes/sec write and up to 45,000 IOPS. On this and other sites, the Force 3 is rated 550 Mbytes/sec read, 510 Mbytes/write and up to 85,000 IOPS.
Add in that the m4 is more expensive than the Force 3 (and not by a few quid either), then the Force 3 clearly the better buy, which is why I've ordered one (yes, from Ebuyer and no, I don't work for Ebuyer).
Comes with a bracket
People bought brackets when It comes with one, You don't need to buy a bracket! :)
