Corsair Introduces 16GB High Performance USB 2.0 Flash Drives

Corsair GT USB Drive Provides Up To 4X Faster Transfer Speeds

 Corsair GT USB Drive Corsair has earned a reputation as being a first-to-market performance leader with cutting-edge products for PC users. The company just introduced its new Flash Voyager GT USB drive, which provides data transfer rates that are up to four times faster than standard USB 2.0 drives. Whether transporting office files, pictures, or even full-length movies, you can “store-n-go” faster with these new drives. The Flash Voyagers have been optimized for this high-speed by taking full advantage of Corsair's advanced flash controller technology, and by utilizing specially screened and hand-selected NAND flash chips.
