All units comes with support for SATA 6.0 Gb/s, which is standard for SSDs with SF-2280 controller. The high capacity on all units have resulted in minor performance differences on paper, but it is important to note that Corsair writes “up to 85,000 IOPS” so in reality the Force GT 480 GB should performa better than Force 3 180 GB and 480 GB.
