Overview

Experience Unmatched SSD Performance

Introducing the Corsair Neutron XTi Series 480GB SSD, a storage solution engineered for enthusiasts and professionals demanding top-tier speed and reliability. Perfect for gaming, design, and 4K video creation.

  • Series: Neutron XTi
  • Capacity: 480GB
  • Intended for: High-Performance Computing, Gaming, Professional Applications

Key Features

More processing Cores dedicated to handling NAND Flash management, which means lower latency and the highest sustained performance, even when SSD is almost full.

Reaching very limits of SATA 6Gbps interface with 560MB/s sequential Read, 540MB/s sequential Write, 4KB Qd32 random reads 100K IOPS and 4KB Qd32 random writes 90K IOPS.

Consistent performance and very high sustained transfer rates which are sought after features for Professional full HD and 4K uncompressed video capture and editing.

Data is safeguarded along all data paths inside the SSD, not only at NAND level. It allows for detection of any internal soft errors between SRAMs, controller and dram as well as controller and NAND.

Up to 95% lower power consumption compared to HDD resulting in better energy efficiency of your desktop PC and longer battery life for your laptop. DevSlp supported.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Features more processing cores dedicated to NAND Flash management, leading to lower latency
  • Provides very high sustained performance, even when the SSD is nearly full, which is crucial for consistent workflow
  • Achieves near SATA 6Gbps interface limits with 560MB/s sequential Read and 540MB/s sequential Write speeds
  • Offers impressive 4KB Qd32 random reads of 100K IOPS and 4KB Qd32 random writes of 90K IOPS
  • Safeguards data along all internal data paths, including between SRAMs, controller, DRAM, and NAND

👎 Cons

  • The 480GB capacity might be restrictive for users requiring extensive storage for large files or numerous applications
  • Performance is capped by the SATA 6Gbps interface, not reaching NVMe speeds for ultra-high-speed needs
  • Requires SATA 6Gbps compatibility in the host system to achieve its maximum specified transfer rates
  • While data is safeguarded, specifics on the type of encryption or advanced data protection features are not listed
  • Power consumption benefits (up to 95% lower than HDD) are relative and may not be as significant compared to other SSDs
