Corsair Neutron XT 240 GiB SSD Review

Conclusions

Before analyzing the results of our test, it is important to keep in mind that the Corsair XT is an SSD targeted to the performance market, and does not compete directly to the Kingston HyperX Fury drive, which is an entry-level product. This can be seen on the price tag of both units. We compared the performance of those two SSDs because, unfortunately, we had no direct competitor available.
That said, we can say the Corsair Neutron XT 240 GiB performed as expected for a high-end product, with high read and write performance with both compressible and incompressible data. It is on the write tests with incompressible data that a performance-aimed SSD performs better than a value model, as the controller chip does not rely on compression to achieve high performance at this kind of operation.
With good performance and a price tag not much higher than an entry-level SSD, the Corsair Neutron XT 240 GiB is an excellent deal.
