The 7mm height works with the latest super-slim notebook PCs.

Laptop PCs and SSDs: a perfect match.

In addition to being great productivity tools, notebook PCs do two things well — take abuse, and run down their batteries. A solid-state drive can give you the confidence that your data is safe if your computer takes a spill, and since they have no moving parts, their power consumption is lower than typical hard drives. You'll go longer without recharging.

The Easy Upgrade Path

If you want to upgrade your laptop PC's performance and reliability with minimal hassle, the Force Series 3 Notebook Upgrade Kit is for you.

The kit's SSD uses the universal SATA interface and is compatible with the vast majority of notebooks that have removable hard drives. This includes not only notebooks designed to work with drives that are 9mm in height, but also the newer, slimmer notebooks that require the new 7mm standard.

The included USB-to-SATA cable connects to your notebook's USB 2 or USB 3 port. Insert the included disc into your optical drive, run the software (it's compatible with both Windows and Mac OS X), and it will copy the entire contents of your hard drive to your new SSD. You won't need to reinstall your operating system or applications.

Remove your old hard drive and snap in the Force Series 3 SSD and restart. On most notebooks, the only tool you'll need is a screwdriver. You're done!

Force Series 3 Notebook Upgrade Kits come with everything you need to swap the drive on your laptop.

Solid-state drives: One of the best notebook PC performance investments you can make.

You'll be amazed at the improvement over traditional hard drive access times the first time you restart your notebook, and for virtually everything you do with it. System startup, application load times, data transfers, and even shutdown times are all faster.

Your system will be more responsive, and you'll be more productive.

Add up all the time you spend all day waiting for your computer — starting up, launching applications, saving large files and documents — and it can be significant. Using a PC can be a lot more enjoyable when it's not always making you wait.

No More Clone Wars, the SSD & Hard Disk Drive Cloning Kit is Here

By Mike Clements, on May 3rd, 2013

When we originally introduced the Corsair Notebook Upgrade kit, we were really impressed with the Apricorn software. In fact, we used the term "chimple" to describe just how easy the kit was to use. It was so simple, a chimp could use it.

Customers related to us that they wanted a software cloning kit like this without having to buy the entire SSD based kit. So, we've created the new Corsair SSD & Hard Disk Drive Cloning Kit which utilizes the same great software but also has an improved USB 3.0 connector.

The kit includes a USB 3.0 to SATA connector and the Corsair Data Migration software CD. The original connector was USB 2.0 but the new connector shown here is USB 3.0. The new connector is much faster than the original allowing up to 180MB/s read and write speeds.

Corsair SSDs With Zero Overprovisioning Space

By Mike Clements, on January 25th, 2013

Much has been written about overprovisioning and its implementation on SSDs. In short, overprovisioning, or OP, is a portion of storage space on an SSD that is reserved for use only by the SSD controller. The three most common uses for this space are wear leveling, the replacement of bad blocks, and read-modify-writes. Overprovisioning serves to help increase both the longevity and performance of SSDs and it is a very common practice among SSD manufacturers.

However, some users would like to be able to buy their SSDs without the built in overprovisioning and make the decision to OP, or not to OP for themselves. They prefer the flexibility of deciding for themselves when to OP and how much space to use based on their specific needs. Corsair has announced and is now offering SSDs without this overprovisioned space.

Our very own internet celebrity Jeff Checchi explains the benefits of having an SSD in your system. To quote RW Labs:

"The SSD is the most important performance component found in a modern system today. Without it you do not even have a performance system."

Corsair Notebook Upgrade Kit: Creating a Bootable USB Flash Drive

By Mike Clements, on September 13th, 2012

The Apricorn EZ GIG IV software included with the Force Series™ 3 Notebook Upgrade Kit SSDs, or NUK, is extremely easy to use. It allows the user to create a backup or extra software disk and also to create a bootable USB flash drive from the Windows application.

Having the software on a bootable USB flash drive makes it much more portable. Also, many systems these days do not have an optical drive such as netbooks.
