Corsair Announces Updated Flash Voyager GT Family

- New high-speed USB Flash Drives in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB capacity -

FREMONT, Calif., Oct. 13, 2009 - Corsair, a worldwide leader in high-performance computer and flash memory products, today announced a revamped Flash Voyager GT product lineup. The new product suite includes USB flash drives, with capacities of 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB, packaged in the Flash Voyager’s trademarked ruggedized rubber housing with signature red “GT” highlights.

“Users of high capacity flash drives need fast transfer speeds, as they are typically moving large amounts of data,” said Jim Carlton, VP of Marketing at Corsair. “The Voyager GT combines a highly efficient controller with high density MLC flash to provide excellent bandwidth at a very attractive price.”

The new 16GB Flash Voyager GT also utilizes Corsair’s proprietary water- and shock-resistant, all-rubber casing so that users can be confident that their data is secure and protected from damage. Independent reviews of Flash Voyager products have demonstrated their ruggedness, durability, and reliability. Flash Voyager drives have been laundered, baked, frozen, boiled, dropped, and even run over by a SUV! After all the punishment they received, the drives continued to work.

The 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB Flash Voyager GTs are available immediately from Corsair’s authorized distributors and resellers worldwide. All Corsair flash products are backed by a 10-year Limited Warranty. Complete customer support via telephone, email, forum and Tech Support Xpress is also available.

Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
