Corsair Voyager 32 GB USB Flash Stick

Corsair Flash Voyager
Product: 32 GB flash memory USB stick
Info: corsair.com
Price: $164

Flash memory guys and girls .. it's the next big thing ever since the first high volume HDD was introduced into the market. I've been active in the hardware scene for over ten years now and I have not ever seen a development rate going so fast as Flash memory. The amount of choice in media, sizes, speed and then obviously development of Solid State drives it's just all going really fast. I mean, two years ago when I was traveling I had a very handy 256MB stick along with me to carry PDF presentations. And two years ago that was considered to be a pretty big flash USB stick.

Last year in March I picked up a 1 GB stick, paid 50 EUR for it, the same amount of money you now pay for a 4 GB stick. And today ... we'll test the Corsair Flash Voyager with a capacity of an astonishing 32 Gigabyte !

A flash USB stick with:

Plug & Play functionality in Windows Vista, XP, 2000, ME, Linux 2.4 and later, Mac OS 9, X and later
Durable and Price/performance leader 32GB USB drive
Includes the True Crypt security application (Windows Vista/XP/2000 compatible only) allowing for a virtual encrypted drive using AES-256 encryption
Water Resistant, Shockproof & Plug-n-Play

These are the sticks that Bruce Willis could carry around while making Die Hard 4.0, they've been laundered, baked, frozen, boiled, dropped, and even run over by a SUV in many third party reviews. After all the punishment it receives, these sturdy little freaks continue to work.

Now available in a 32GB capacity the flash-disk became a massively worthy investment. It's a small HDD in your pocket. With that file size you could even partition it, split into two partitions, and make one encrypted as the product supports EAS-256 bit encryption technology.

Great stuff to store movies, MP3, work related files, classified stuff (encrypted) or even you could use it as a backup drive. Very robust, water tight and easy to use.

But enough of this introduction, let's review it and see how well it fares, yet most of all .. with such size, how fast it is.

Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 6000 CL36 review
In July, Corsair presented a new series of DDR5 memories: the Vengeance RGB DDR5. The available kits from the RGB edition have a frequency higher than the base 4800 MHz (5200-6600 MHz); the non-RGB version starts from 4800 MHz. We are checking the Corsair Vengeance RGB 6000 MHz CL36 DDR5 kit today. It's in the middle frequency in the series. We already had an opportunity (almost three years ago) to review the Vengeance (Pro) RGB series RAM, but it was for the DDR4; the frequency was 3200 MHz, and it received a "Top Pick" award, and also the Vengeance RGB Pro SL which had 3600 MHz frequency (with CL18) and got the "Approved" award. But let's focus back on the tested DDR5 kit.

Corsair Katar Elite Wireless mouse review
In this article, we review the Corsair Katar Elite Wireless mouse. It’s an optical gaming mouse that was launched today, on 26.10.2022. The Katar model is a new version of the Katar Pro Wireless that was introduced on October 2020. The Katar Elite Wireless is targeted at gamers, but it should also work more than fine as a regular mouse. This time, the optical sensor is not the 10K DPI PMW3325 but a 26K DPI Corsair Marksman. It has 1 DPI resolutions steps, 650 IPS tracking, and up to 50G acceleration.

Getting back to the HS series, it starts with HS35, and till now, it also contained HS45, HS50, HS55, HS60, HS65, HS70, HS75, and HS80 (some of them had different variants). We’re checking out the all-new Corsair HS55 Wireless Core in this review. Its debut is on the 20th of September, 2022.
