Corsair Neutron GTX SSD review: Corsair Neutron GTX SSD

The Corsair Neutron GTX is an exciting new solid-state drive. This is partly because it's one of the first SSDs from Corsair that I've worked with and mostly because it would be an excellent drive for any computer.

Corsair Neutron GTX SSD

The Good

The <b>Corsair Neutron GTX</b> solid-state drive offers top performance and is compatible with any standard computer.

The Bad

The Corsair Neutron GTX is comparatively more expensive than its peers.

The Bottom Line

The Corsair Neutron GTX is one of the best solid-state drives on the market, especially for those who want top performance from their ultrathin portable computer.

The new drive is the performance version of the more budget Corsair Neutron drive, which is less expensive and slower. But the Neutron GTX costs more for good reason: it's one of the fastest SSDs I've seen and it's the fastest among all 7-millimeter-thick SSDs I've reviewed.

The drive's excellent performance is enough make up for its cost of around $1 per gigabyte, which, though not really super expensive or the most expensive, is still comparatively high.

That said, if you're looking for a top performer for your system or want to upgrade to a new drive, even from an existing SSD, the Corsair Neutron GTX would be an excellent choice. If you want a drive that offers similar performance but slightly more affordable, I'd also recommend the Samsung 830 Series.
