Corsair ha lanciato il primo Flash Voyager USB avente una capacità di memorizzazione pari a 64GB di dati: in effetti, con una simile dotazione di spazio libero, il nuovo drive USB può contenere una vera e propria libreria di DVD e decine di migliaia di immagini digitali.

Il nuovo drive di Corsair si fa notare, in accordo al produttore, oltreché per la eccezionale dimensione delle informazioni che può immagazzinare, anche per la resistenza agli agenti atmosferici ed in particolare all'acqua (cfr. la seconda delle foto che seguono).

Un altra feature del drive è legata al fatto che esso rappresenta un disco avviabile o "bootable", e dunque in grado di ospitare un Sistema Operativo completo, utilizzabile nei casi di emergenza ovvero quando non parta l'OS installato sul disco fisso.

Corsair ha reso noto, infine, l'MSRP del componente, che è pari a $249.99, il cui lancio commerciale è avvenuto simultaneamente alla pubblicazione del seguente comunicato.

Fremont, CA, September 29, 2008 – Corsair a worldwide leader in high performance computer and flash memory products, announced today that it is expanding its best selling Flash Voyager USB family lines with a new 64GB capacity offering. The new 64GB USB Flash Voyager has enough capacity for a library of DVD-length movies and tens of thousands of high-resolution digital images.

Thanks to the 64GB USB Flash Voyager, users now have the ultimate solution for storing, transporting and backing up large amounts of personal and professional data. With storage capacity that just a year ago could only be found in hard drives, the 64GB USB Flash Voyager drive also provides the added ruggedness, water resistance and performance not found in storage drives utilizing rotating media.
