In April 2005, CORSAIR sent us a 512 MB Flash Voyager USB Drive for review. By the end of that review we were very impressed with the USB Drive that CORSAIR sent us. For more back ground information on CORSAIR and the background CIA story on why flash USB drives were created, check our original review
on the CORSAIR Flash Voyager 512mb USB Drive.
As we all know, technological innovation moves so fast, products that were cutting edge are obsolete within 3-8 months. When we first looked at the CORSAIR Flash Voyager 512mb USB drive in April 2005, it stood out from all the other USB Flash drives we had in the office because it was different. For one it was encased in rugged rubberized case, that claimed it had water resistant and anti shock capabilities. Secondly, back in April 2005, the 512mb capacity was a big deal.
Today we check out CORSAIR's 8GB Flash Voyager USB Drive. So has
anything changed from 2005 besides the capacity? Let's find out!
