 Now this is something that the market needs more of and I don't necessarily mean Corsair SSDs or SSDs in general or whatever it is that you may think I mean what I mean is SATA at three six gigabit per second SSDs So this guy right here is a 128 gig SSD from Corsair So they are now the second manufacturer to market with a SATA three six gigabit per second SSD And I'm going to tell you why exactly as part of my unboxing This SSD needs a SATA three six gigabit per second interface I'm unboxing off-camera There you go. You know it's a X-rated unboxing when I can't this is too too hot for TV for YouTube this unboxing. No, sorry you guys can't see it I'm just gonna. I'm gonna look at this myself. Oh, it's pretty silver. Yeah, it's got a silver casing on it It comes with a sticker. No, just kidding. I'll show you guys okay So first thing it comes with is a two and a half inch to three and a half inch adapter Lots of modern cases these days are actually coming with native support for SSDs or any two and a half inch drive So you might not have to use this, but if you do hey, it's included. It's a great and here That is the P3 128 this is their performance three series one of my first SSD videos on my NCIX calm channel was actually about their Original P128 so we've come a fair ways since then this is also a 128 gig But in terms of performance it absolutely blows the doors off their older drives So here you can see we've got our standard two and a half inch mounting holes on the sides as well as the bottoms of this Drive okay, here's a little warranty void if removed sticker now this interface is gonna look pretty familiar This is a SATA interface, so your power is still the same old thing that it's been since SATA one This guy right here say to three six gigabit per second is physically identical to what we've seen in the past The only difference is how much thorough put it's capable of so six gigabit per second is I mean doing the rough math is about 600 megabytes per second So that means that it is about double the speed of SATA to three gigabit per second which peaks out at around Oh, what is it? It's around 300 megabytes per second. I think it's a little less like about 280 So the SATA six gigabit is probably around 560 megs so this particular drive doesn't max it out but if you check out the specs, so I'm on the NCIX website here on my MSI laptop so here we go maximum sequential read speeds are 410 megabytes per second and maximum sequential writes are 210 megabytes per second So it uses a Marvel controller and they'll see flash it has trim support as well as robust background garbage collection and Let's see what else they've got to see for themselves three-year warranty on this guy Wow the NCIX site is great It tells me all the stuff that I could tell you except in Note form rather than watching a lone YouTube video. That's pretty useful So one of the questions that inevitably people will have about a drive like this is can I use it on my SATA to? Port the answer is yes, it will have slightly lower performance But you can use it on your SATA to compatible motherboard until you upgrade to one with SATA three six gigabit per second So don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips And thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Corsair performance 3 series 128 gig SSD
