Corsair Force LS (240GB) Review
by Kristian Vättö on September 25, 2013 12:00 AM ESTPower Consumption
Power consumption at idle is extremely low, which should make the Force LS a good option for laptop users. Under load the power draw gets higher but the the load figures aren't a concern, and in practice the SSD will be idle far more often than not.

"Yellow on white is usually hard to see though."The color used in this review is orange, does it look yellow-ish in your browser?
"Also, you'd need one more color as there are 8 drives tested."
Are you suggesting that we should use a different color for each drive? I think that just adds confusion because the drive in review would no longer be differentiated from the others. Or did you mean something else?

Rgb plus CMYK is 7 colors. I think that the poster implied that if you used those colors, you'd still need to come up with an eighth color, as you show the performance vs transfer graphs for 8 drives. The other graphs IMO are fine.Urizane - Friday, September 27, 2013 - link
Off of the top of my head? Try:#E02040
#E08820
#E0D040
#70D040
#60C0B0
#6090E0
#9070FF
#D060C0
There are 8 colors. They should be just high contrast enough with a white background. You can even throw in a grey and a black line if you need it.

I would appreciate a second line in the benchmark graphs which explain the controller used by that particular drive at a glance.Hrel - Wednesday, September 25, 2013 - link
The final paragraph of this article sums up my exact thoughts on this whole topic. Not sure what these businesses are thinking; in terms of what market is there. Perhaps they're just throwing resources at these things, creating and marketing them and hoping they net a profit. On the other hand they probably CAN do that given the margins on NAND memory.Wish they'd aggressively price cut to create an actual budget segment for SSD's. $150 gets me a Plextor or Sandisk on amazon with 256GB of storage space and upper level performance. Means you have to get your 256gb drive down to $100 to sell it to me. Good luck.
