Corsair has announced that it has surpassed the benchmark set by PC Mark Vantage by using a functional PC powered by eleven Corsair Force Series F200 SSDs in a superior bandwidth RAID configuration.
The score achieved by Corsair was 32,947, accomplished with the Intel Core i7-980X six-core processor chilled at sub-zero temperatures. The system worked on Corsair HX1000W PSU, 6GB of Corsair Dominator GTX2 memory and eleven 200GB Force Series F200 SSDs. The Force Series SSDs announced recently make use of the refined Sandforce SF-1200 SSD processor to offer supreme sequential and arbitrary read and write performance.
Andy Paul, President and CEO of Corsair remarked on the record breaking success of Corsair by saying that, “Enthusiasts are accustomed to seeing Corsair breaking DRAM speed records, but this latest world record success clearly demonstrates that Corsair now offers class-leading products in other product categories too. The configuration of eleven Force Series SSDs in RAID 0 in combination with Corsair HX1000W power supply and Dominator GTX memory proved to be strong enough for this extreme-performance PC.”

Corsair managed to break the previous record by 1,614 points, as they combined the commendable performance of eleven Force Series F200 SSDs in RAID 0 through the Areca ARC-1680D-IX-12 PCI-E RAID controller.
