Jumping into the premium SSD fray in a big way. Component manufacturer Corsair is jumping back into the solid-state drive (SSD) fray with the announcement of the Neutron XT - destined to become the highest-performing consumer SSD in its arsenal.

Said Neutron XT is due to be made available in the January 2015 timeframe, but Corsair wants to show the progress it has made with respect to speed and consistency. Powering the Neutron XT - which is to debut in 240GB, 480GB and 960GB flavours - is a new controller from Phison.

Corsair has teamed up with Phison for initial exclusivity for its all-new PS3110-S10 controller. Touting four cores, class-leading performance, enterprise-level features and advanced wear-levelling techniques, on-paper specifications are certainly premium.
