Con il comunicato stampa di seguito allegato, Corsair ha presentato al grande pubblico il nuovo flash drive 16GB Flash Voyager GT USB 2.0. In accordo al produttore, si tratta di un dispositivo ad alte prestazioni, in grado di trasferire i dati ad una velocità che è circa quattro volte superiore a quella tipicamente esibita dalle device omologhe che utilizzano il bus USB 2.0.
Alla base di questo risultato vi sono, secondo Corsair, due elementi: la tecnologia proprietaria con cui viene gestita l'interazione del drive con le porte USB da un lato, e la selezione manuale dei chip NAND con cui il 16GB Flash Voyager GT USB 2.0 viene costruito dall'altro. Il valore del MSRP del drive è pari a $169.99.
