For a USB 2.0 16gigs with 10 years of warranty+ extension cable and a lanyard and which is "shockproof" and durable, you got yourself one of those drives which will be with you for many years to come. Corsair also comes with a good replacement track record as well.

But not all USB drives are created equal and only some deliver on all the promises of speedy transfer times, ease of use and rugged build quality. Today I have the Corsair Voyager GT 2GB to evaluate, and we will see if it lives up to the expectation as the new standard for a portable data storage...

Fast read and write speeds; very rugged build quality; unique styling; ReadyBoost support

Unique styling makes the drive a bit bulky

Remember Corsair? That memory manufacturer with all the high-end toys? Well, it is back with another one, and this time it is 8GB of goodness that you can slip into your pocket. Yes, you guessed it, it is a USB flash drive, but not just any old USB drive, as this is the Flash Voyager GT, one of the...

USB flash drives have been around for quite some time now. Out of all the drives I've ever reviewed my favorite line of drives has to be the Flash Voyager series from Corsair. The main reason is because they are basically indestructible.

As always a great design; Very durable; Faster than previous versions

Write speeds were a little off

The price for the drive is Rs 2,200. That's not very expensive for the performance and the sturdy build quality that you get. Even though this is supposed to be one of the higher-end flash drives, it makes good value for money.

If you need larger storage size and really appreciate speed, this is an awesome device. If you need a pocket sized flash drive you don't even need to consider this.

Very quick; Consistently getting 40 - 46MB/s write speeds; File sizes ranging from MP3 (3-8MB) through large bluray rips (12GB+); Larger files sustain higher speeds but thats consistent of all media Build quality seems great and the rubber coating seems very robust

Large; Very Large; approximately 4 inches long and much more thick then a normal flash drive; If you want to keep it in your pocket all the time, get something else as you very likely would break this Reliability.
