The GTX packaging is very similar to the vanilla Neutron box. The ‘GTX' naming is highlighted on the front of the box and the colouring has shifted from blue to red.
The Neutron GTX 240GB Solid State drive ships in a slim 7mm form factor metal chassis, offering full compatiblity with the latest slim ultrabook laptops.
Opening the chassis is straightforward, a flat head screwdriver can be used to pry open the case. The PCB is bolted to the chassis via three screws.
The Neutron 240GB GTX uses the LAMD LM87800 controller and there are two modules of Samsung DDR2 800 128MB DRAM cache, for 256MB total. This Neutron GTX drive uses 8x32GB modules of Toshiba Toggle Mode 24nm NAND flash memory. The rear of the GTX PCB has no memory – only the Samsung cache module. All 8 chips are positioned on one side.
When the drive is formatted in Windows 7 there is a total of 224GB free.
very sexy indeed. interesting to see them only releasing 120gb and 240gb. The GTX has space on the rear of the PCB for more chips? 480GB at £330 would be great.
Shame they aren’t bundling acronis with the drives, well worth an inclusion IMO for mirroring the boot drive.
placed an order for a GTX. thanks.
Great, but is the ordinary version well priced? the GTX is only a few quid extra, seems a better deal when facotring in write perf,.
ive the 120gb GTX in my sights next week…..
