I Ordered OCZ 60 GB SSD from #primeabgb last week. They didn't had that in stock, so they listed corsair force3 for 6800/- and i told them its okay, so they sent me this one instead of ocz. They shipped this quickly, but I now believe that i got this product for an unfair price.
I have connected Corsair Force3 60GB SSD is to an intel DH61SA motherboard which supports only SATA 2. Processor is i3-2100, and there is 4GB RAM. Benchmark results are not that great, i suppose this is because of the compatibility mode(SATA3 on SATA2).
