whynotv2 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 i was wondering if anyone has heard if Corsair is planning on offering a larger variety of physical sizes, connection types and speeds for their SSDs? More specifically, 1.8" ZIF SLC type for use in netbooks without having to mod the internal dimensions of your netbook to fit the drive. I love Corsair system memory and was excited to hear about the SSD especially since I've been eyeballing the offerings by Mtron, but not purchased due to unfamiliarity with that company. I'd love to buy a Corsair 128GB (or more) 1.8" ZIF-type SLC for my HP 1000 if one is made :) Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 9, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 9, 2009 AT this time we will only be releasing them in standard NB Size IE 2.5" SATA and we will be releasing the 256 Meg version soon. As seen on Engadget and on Crunchgear.com and on Hothardware.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Why the part # change, from S to P? If that price is correct, OUCH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedisolo Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Since Corsairs first SSD used a Samsung Controller, I assume their new drive is going to use the new Samsung Controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 13, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 13, 2009 Yes and Wired I dont know why the PN Changed but I will try to find out! More than likely it as not any specific reason, just marketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amro Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Any idea where one can buy a P256? I can't seem to find one anywhere! I'd prefer Newegg, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 22, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 22, 2009 They have been shipping this week, and I know Newegg has them in the works to go on line, you might call them and see if they have them just not on line yet.

amro Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 thanks for the response :) Edit: Meh. Newegg online help said "Thank you for your waiting. We are sorry but we do not carry this item at this time. We currently do not have any information on the availability of this item. We will post this item on our website if or when it becomes available." Oh well. Waiting game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 23, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 23, 2009 Sorry but I know they have them in route, so give it a few more days and I would suggest calling them on the phone so you are not getting a canned response.

amro Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Ordered 2 from newegg for MBPs!! :D So tell me..will you guys release firmware updates as they become available from Samsung? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 MBP? Good question about the firmware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 24, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 24, 2009 Yes if there is an update needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amro Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 MBP = macbook pro. my friend and i use them as primary machines for software development, hence the need for speedier drives. :D RE: Firmware updates - Thanks for responding. My understanding is that Samsung will only release them to you guys and not directly to the public...but that they are released. If it's not needed and just plain works then that's even better!

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 27, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 27, 2009 We are using the Samsung drives and I am not sure if the Firmware we have is the same as the Samsung released drives but I am sure our Engineering team will monitor this and do updates as needed they have pretty aggressive with these drives and working with Samsung on a daily basis.
