5200x Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Hello Corsair cant swap my crashed Performance 3 so they are offering a Neutron Is the Neutron as good as the Performance 3 or is it better/NOT? I did look at some reviews and it looks a little better but it has a strange controller? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 The Neutron drive is better than the Performance 3 drive. Neutron 120GB Max Sequential R/W (ATTO) 540 MB/s sequential read 211 MB/s sequential write The LAMD controller is designed to deliver both super-high IOPs — important for data-intensive tasks like video and image editing — as well as superior sequential read speeds for lighting fast file access. Performance 3 128GB Max Sequential R/W (ATTO) Up to 410 MB/s sequential read 210 MB/s sequential write Performance 3 Series solid-state drives combine the latest Marvell controller and supercharged synchronous NAND to eliminate bottlenecks and provide the serious 6Gbps SATA III bandwidth you need for cutting edge video and graphics.

gringopig Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I have had 3 Performance 3 drives all faulty on a range of hardware platforms until Corsair approved a final RMA for a different model. This is working without issue now. I would advise avoiding the Performance 3 as there seems to be some re-occurring issue with frozen sectors, at least on the few that I had. Go for the Neutron!

5200x Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 Thanks for the info Guys I told Corsair send me the Neutron The big problem I had with the Performance 3 was strange sound coming from my speakers this never happened with any other drive I have used with this motherboard. Moved the Performance 3 to my Laptop and my problem was random crashes till it died finally. What's the best SSD out now? I have used the Force Series 3 with good results on a friends build with an ASUS Sabertooth board very fast. By the way the Performance 3 was a gift I did not buy it. Again Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardd43 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 What's the best SSD out now? Not sure what the best SSD is but my favorite is pretty much anything Corsair sells with the Neutron leading the pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
