Flash drives are nothing new, but finding one that will last is something that is hard to come by. So many flash drives are cheaply made and break easily. I think I went through a total of 5 flash drives while in college until I got the Corsair Flash Voyager drive. I've had that drive for over a year not and it's about time I upgrade. Corsair was nice enough to send me one of their new Flash Survivor GT drives. Read on to see if it is an indestructible as the Flash Voyager was.

The Corsair Flash Voyager GT 8GB Flash Drive arrived Technic3D. Fast and faster with the Outdoor Stick? See you in the following Review against other Sticks.

Power supplies rated towards 1kW and beyond are overkill for the majority of users. What they want are reliable, efficient, quiet PSUs that are able to provide ample power to their systems without putting too much of a dent in their wallets. And that's what Corsair's promising with its VX450W, pitched at around £45. We check it out to see if it delivers what's needed.

The new Corsair VX450W power supply incorporates a single +12V power rail that is designed to deliver continuous power under heavy loads while keeping things simple inside the unit. On modern computers the +12V rail is the most important to pay attention to and the CMPSU-450VX has a dedicated solid single +12V rail of 33A (41A on VX550W)...

The Corsair Flash Survivor is the toughest flash drive we have ever seen, the question is whether you need something like this or not.

Corsair sent their Super Tough 8 GB Flash Voyager USB 2.0 Flash Memory Drive in February. Of course, we beat the snot out of it because they said it was tough. Now Corsair has made one that's even faster called the GT. Let's see how much faster and most importantly, is it still tough? Let's find out!

USB flash drives are a wonderful invention, they are extremely small and lightweight, reliable, fast and they require very little power. The icing on the cake is if you have a USB capable computer (and who doesn't in 2007?) you can use them for portable storage. It is not all positive however, flash drives have tiny plastic bodies, which tend to make them very weak and they are easily lost. Enter Corsair, who have taken a very different approach to his storage medium recently, they have designed a drive which is extremely durable to physical damage - in fact Corsair claim it is almost indestructible. In making this drive so they have made the drive somewhat larger, which in theory should mean it will also be harder to lose.

Corsair has hit the market with another 'tough' flash drive, this time in the form of the Survivor series. The 8GB Corsair Flash Survivor GT isn't your typical "indoor cat" variety of USB 2.0 flash drive. In addition to boasting high transfer rates, this drive is enclosed in a tough aircraft grade shell that is sealed with o-rings providing water resistance to 200 meters.

Over the Internet this device has been shot, pounded with hammer and who knows what. Only unique test that would't risk my life as well as the Survivor's was the combination of water and pressure: a freezer. Mug filled with water and Corsair was put in to -20 C to find out if its really waterproof and can handle some pressure.

When you think of high end performance memory, undoubtedly the name Corsair pops into your head, while names like Dominator and XMS jump onto the tip of the tongue. However RAM is not their only concern with cooling options and power supplies being part of their repertoire. Today I have with me their flagship model PSU, the HX620w; let's see how it does.

Last month we had reviewed the Corsair Survivor GT and found it to be one amazing flash drive. This flash drive offered an 8GB capacity backed by blazing speeds, but if that wasn't enough, the drive was indestructible. We had tossed the Survivor GT into a pool, whacked it with a hammer, and even boiled it in a pot of water, but none of these actions had killed or even damaged the drive. Today we are back with another flash drive review from Corsair but this time around, it's the Flash Voyager GT, or the step-up from the Corsair Flash Voyager.

With USB flash drives going almost anywhere, memory manufacturers have realized this and are designing products that can withstand a fair amount of abuse whether it be leaving it in the washing machine or smashing it against the table a few times. While this quality of construction is good enough for most, for those that demand the absolute best Corsair Memory has designed an ultra rugged USB 2.0 flash drive. We threw it into an eight-foot deep chlorinated pool, boiled it in water for several minutes, and even beat it with a hammer, but was the Corsair Flash Survivor GT able to cope with all of these torturous events?

The demand for ultra-mobile storage and the quick development of flash memory during the past few years has led to the high popularity that USB flash drives enjoy today. Flash drives are rarely supplied from companies who manufacture mechanical drives; they are usually built by RAM manufacturers since they are basically flash memory without any moving parts. Perhaps the most reputable RAM manufacturer, Corsair, is no exception as they are one of the first RAM manufacturers which offered USB flash drives and one of the few which designs their drives to be extremely tolerant to abuse. Today we will take a look at their latest, largest and fastest USB 2.0 flash drive, the 8GB Voyager GT.

Not only have the devices themselves got a lot smaller and faster, but these days there is a lot of extra functionality - such as encryption or the ability to run applications from your memory key - and you can even get ruggedized drives for those of us that have a habit of dropping things. With Windows Vista a new use for USB flash drives was introduced - ReadyBoost - and we are going to put the Flash Voyager GT to the test in that to see if it makes a difference. We will also be measuring the drive's performance in real world file copy tests and using HD Tech and comparing it against two other drives, the previous-generation Flash Voyager, and the SanDisk Cruzer Micro. So let us move on to the results and see if the Corsair Flash Voyager GT lives up to expectations.

Recently Corsair was kind enough to drop by and hand us the 8GB version of its Flash Voyager GT, the performance edition of the range. The look of the device hasn't changed a great deal since the original Flash Voyager, though the GT sports a black and red rubber casing as opposed to blue and black.
