Corsair is perhaps the most active manufacturer when it comes to SSDs, actively jumping at any opportunity to expand their products range and offer more options to potential customers. The company today offers tens of SSDs through eight product series, using the controllers of no less than 3 manufacturers and various types of NAND flash. Today we are having a look at the new Neutron series, which introduces a new controller from Link_A_Media (LAMD). Can the newcomer compete with the well-established products from manufacturers like Micron and Sandforce? We will find out in this review.
