For those needing 64GB of nearly undestroyable shine storage, Corsair has foregather declared a large edition of their Flash Survivor USB drive. They ease feature a caretaker brawny CNC-milled aircraft-grade metal casing, shock-dampening arrest and water-resistant EPOM seal, but it looks aforementioned they’ve managed to drop a diminutive contact when compared to the 32GB Flash Survivor I reviewed backwards in May of 2008. As for pricing, substantially it looks aforementioned they’ll ordered you backwards somewhere in the community of $220-230, but crapper you rattling place a sound on the pact of nous lettered your files are safe?

They capableness not be the prototypal banter on the belongings with a 128GB shine drive, I conceptualise Kingston took that avow a some months ago, but Corsair is claiming their infant 128GB Voyager GT is the world’s fastest. Thanks to a “unique dual-controller architecture” the shine impart has a feature pace of up to 32MB/sec and a indite pace of up to 25.6MB/sec. The impart also features a undestroyable and water-resistant foam housing, so patch it belike won’t endure a fall low water, effort caught in the irregular move shouldn’t be a problem. Available now, though pricing content wasn’t included in the PR.

SandForce breaks into SSD market with speedy SF-1000 processors

Apr 15th 2009 Storage No Comments

With SSD prices still well above the point of affordability, we’re thrilled to see more entrants joining the burgeoning market. Big players like Western Digital and Corsair are being greeted by small timers such as PhotoFast, Fusion-io and SandForce, the latter of which has just escaped “stealth mode” in order to launch its first solid state drive processor family. The chips utilize DuraClass technology and promise to address “key NAND flash issues allowing MLC flash technologies to be reliably used in broad based, mission critical storage environments.” More germane to our discussion is the nice boost in transfer rates and lower cost of production; we’re told that the SF-1000 crew sports a standard 3 gigabit-per-second SATA host interface connecting up to 512 gigabytes of commodity NAND flash memory, and that it delivers 30,000 IOPS and 250MB/s performance (sequential 128KB read or write transfers) with 100 micro-second latency. If all goes well, select OEMs will be launching SSDs based on this processor later this year, so we’ll definitely be keeping our eyes peeled.

Corsair’s ultra speedy 256GB SSD sneaks out, hits the bench

Apr 10th 2009 Storage No Comments

My, how fast the cutting edge becomes dull. Nary four months ago, we were introduced to Corsair’s first SSD: a 2.5-inch 128GB slab of MLC NAND goodness that promised 90MB/sec read and 70MB/sec write speeds. Needless to say, those numbers weren’t about to shatter any records, so the company went out and produced something that just might. The benchmarking fiends over at HotHardware managed to scoop up a 256GB S256 from the company and put it through the first of many tests. As for results? Early reports show average read speeds nailing the 200MB/sec mark, while average write rates hovered just under 170MB/sec. The only issue is the breathtaking $749 price tag (expected, anyway), but at least you’ve apparently got a few months to save up.

Corsair gets official with mostly pointless Voyager Port

Apr 3rd 2009 Storage No Comments

Corsair actually debuted its questionably useful Voyager Port earlier this month at CeBIT, but it’s just now getting around to making things official. By the books, this one is described as an “innovative solution to transform any USB flash drive into a powerful and flexible portable backup and recovery device,” but really, it does nothing that a standalone USB stick couldn’t do given the right software. Essentially, one plugs this into their machine, loads up the bundled NovaBACKUP 10 application, sticks in a USB flash drive and mashes a single button to start the PC-to-USB drive backup process. In other words, it’s an unnecessary middleman. Unfortunately, Corsair has yet to come clean with pricing, but anything over $5 or so could be classified as highway robbery.

Corsair Flash Voyager Port Works With Any USB Flash Drive

Mar 15th 2009 Other Stuff No Comments

Corsair Flash Voyager Port (Image courtesy Les Numeriques)
By Andrew Liszewski

Corsair unveiled their new Flash Voyager Port at CeBIT this year, and it’s basically a USB dock with a single button that can be used to launch a piece of automated backup software on your PC. While the Voyager Port is obviously color coordinated and styled to match the company’s Flash Voyager USB drives, the dock can apparently be used with any drive of your choosing, which is perfect given the propensity of flash drives to wander off and disappear on their own.

Now I’ll leave it up to you to decide if the ease-of-use of a single button is worth having another dock or cradle cluttering up your desk, but it should be hitting the market in a few weeks for around $20 for those of you who are interested.

Corsair launches Voyager Port at CeBIT: eyes-on

Mar 6th 2009 Storage No Comments


In an effort to better market its flash drives as more than just this generation’s floppy drive, Corsair has stepped up at CeBIT this year to introduce the Voyager Port. Put simply, this flash drive dock connects to one’s PC and provides one-touch backup straight to whatever USB stick is plugged in. By including the NovaBackup 10 software, the docking station transfers a copy of a user’s hard drive to any USB drive (provided that it’s large enough), and while you may argue that an external HDD could do just the same, this could be a cheaper option for someone who already threw down for a capacious USB stick. Pop down below for a look at the admittedly simple device.

DDR3 shootout pits OCZ, Kingston and Corsair against one another

Feb 26th 2009 Storage No Comments

DDR3 modules aren’t exactly new or anything, but given just how low the prices of big time kits have become, we figured it prudent to pass along one of the most thorough shootouts on the subject that we’ve seen. HotHardware grabbed a few DIMMs from the labs of OCZ Technology, Corsair and Kingston, threw ‘em all in a Core i7 rig (not simultaneously, silly!) and benchmarked the lot until they literally fell asleep at the keys. The results? We’d love to tell you which sticks came out atop the pile, but that would just be spoiling the fun for you, now wouldn’t it? Give the read link a look if you’re ready for the action.
