Conclusion
The Phison controller is adept at handling every type of consumer load well...Corsair is unveiling its latest SSDs two months before widespread release. The Neutron XT is designed to offer class-leading performance by pairing the all-new Phison PS-3110-S10 controller with established MLC NAND from Toshiba.
Our look at pre-production performance shows Corsair to have a very capable solution for the real enthusiast. The Phison controller is good at handling every type of consumer load well, providing consistent, repeatable numbers irrespective of whether it's in out-of-the-box or heavily-used states.
Though performance is very sharp for a new drive, pricing and general availability remain unknowns. We'd like to see Corsair match the SanDisk Extreme Pro or the Samsung 850 Pro in value terms, and we'll be pitting these three class-leading SSDs against each other, on their latest respective firmwares, as soon as the Corsair is available to buy.
For now, Corsair can legitimately claim to have a premium SSD in its ranks. Thinking of purchasing a quality SSD for a new build in 2015? Remember to put the Neutron XT on your shortlist.
