Corsair Neutron XTi 960GB SSD Review

Crystal Disk Mark

 

We can see that in Crystal Disk Mark Corsair's Neutron XTi offers speeds that are chart-topping when it comes to sequential reads and writes, speeds which are again almost identical to Corsair's listed specifications.

When using two of these SSDs in Raid 0 we can see that we achieve speeds which approach that of the lower end PCIe SSDs that we have tested, which is very impressive given the fact that when combined these SSDs offer almost 2TB of storage capacity. One thing that must be remembered is that right now there are currently no 2TB M.2 NVMe SSDs on the market, so RAID SATA SSDs are pretty much the fastest you can get with capacities that are this high.

Wouldn't mind a 960GB SSD although it's a little out of my range at this moment.Quote

In the conclusion

"At £379.99 for the 960GB version, £167.99 for the 480GB version and around £760 for the 2TB version these drives are certainly not the cheapest SSDs on the market, though they do offer some of the best performance that is possible on SATA today. "Quote

This drive is designed to be a competitor to the Samsung 850 Pro with similar pricing, with the Samsung drive having the advantage of faster 3D V-NAND and this Corsair Drive using more chips of traditional planar NAND.

Corsair has made some smart decisions when it comes to this drive's firmware and controller setup, though given the limitations of SATA etc both the 850 Pro and the Corsair Neutron Xti will perform very similarly during day to day use.

Price to performance wise it is hard to beat the Samsung 850 Evo right now, and Intel's 600p NVMe M.3 drive is looking really nice ATM.Quote
