Oh snap Linden, you clean out the storage room, notice a box and see a product that should have been reviewed like six months ago, whoops! Join us as we review the Corsair Voyager Air 2.

Times are changing, we have a thirst and need to access our data quickly and easily. It is one of the main reasons why NAS units, home servers and streaming storage solutions have become quite popular. With that trend continuing in the upcoming years we're going to see many new products as we don't only need to connect to our content and media with the PC anymore, we also like to stream music and movies onto our phones and tablets as well.

We review the Voyager Air 2 from Corsair, this portable storage unit allows you to connect it to USB 3.0 and WIFI. It actually comes in a 1 TB HDD model as well, which we review. This great looking device might be what you're looking for to move or stream your content and with the latest Corsair Smartphone it might just be what the doctor ordered.

This external portable storage unit is loaded with features so that you can easily connect to it. It allows you to connect it though USB 3.0 and has WIFI support (802.11n), it also comes as a nice 1TB internal HDD model as well. The usability of a device like this can be seen a bit as a NAS (network attached storage), which you place inside your network to be able to access content like your music, documents, photos and videos. All content stored on the Voyager Air 2 can be accessed directly from a PC or Mac, or with a free Corsair app so you can access and stream to Android devices or your Apple iPad, iPhone and iPod touch devices.

There's another advantage as well. Many network enabled smart TVs, Blu-ray players and game consoles can access a solution like this, meaning you can stream content on these devices as well. As mentioned in the second paragraph already, Voyager Air 2 provides multiple options to connect through, including 802.11n Wi-Fi connections at ranges up to say 50 feet, and it can stream high-definition video to up to four devices all at once.

The fun thing is, there's no real need for a continuous power source as it comes with a battery. So yeah, you don't even need to plug the device into a power source, a rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to six to eight hours of video streaming between recharges. All in all a very interesting product that we just had to take a peek at, please browse onwards to the next page where we'll start-up the review.

Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro SL 3600 MHz 32GB review
Today, we are checking the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro SL 3600 MHz CL18 (pretty average latency figure) memory in a 32 GB set consisting of two 16 GB modules. This is not the first time we’re looking at the Corsair RAM. It was for example the Vengeance RGB Pro (4x8 GB 3200MHz) or Dominator Platinum (4x8 GB 3600 MHz CL16). Ok, but what’s different comparing the above mentioned Vengeance RGB Pro series?

Corsair K70 RGB TKL keyboard review
The Corsair K70 RGB TKL comes from a range of keyboards that we already presented here on guru3d. We reviewed the K70 RGB Rapidfire Mk2, which comes also in a low-profile version. So, the first major difference this time is the tenkeyless format. Other than that, this keyboard has not changed much as far as the general concept is concerned. It is, of course, still an RGB mechanical keyboard, but this time it comes in a smaller package.
