While a few years back, SSDs were an expensive solution to a computer aficionado's need for more computing speed, nowadays one can get a solid state drive for quite the bargain.

Take the recently announced Force LS Series Solid State Drives, from Corsair, for example. According to Techpowerup, they have a 2.5-inch form factor, TRIM support and SATA 6.0 Gbps connectivity, they deliver sequential read / write speeds of as much as 560/535 MB/s.

If you're thinking about the price, know that the 60GB version costs $70 / €53, with the 120GB being priced at $110 / €83, and finally the 240GB solid state drive costing no more than $200 / €150. Solid State Drives improve disk access, thus increasing the overall performance of your computer.

In addition, lacking any mechanical part, the all-too-familiar buzzing sound that your computer makes will greatly be reduced. SSDs are especially sought by gamers and industry professionals looking for an improved gaming or work-related experience.
