Over the last few years, Corsair has been on the forefront of leading flash drive innovations, which started with their Flash Voyager series but quickly expanded into their Flash Voyager GT, Flash Survivor GT, and Flash Padlock series.
What are the big advantages?
First of all, there is a high durability, it is shockproof and it is even water resistant! You don't have to worry that you dropped the USB flash drive in your bath or you forget to take it out of your pants and it's in the washing machine. It even withstand if you drop it out of the window from the first floor. This is what the rubber shell has to offer and I can guarantee that's not that bad to have it. An accident happens very fast!
It has a huge storage capacity. There are now already 32 GB flash drives at the market, but I think 16 GB is more than enough. If you need more, you would be better off with an external drive. They don't wait that much and you can take more than 250 GB with you. This USB flash drive is very handy if you want to take a computer game to a friend or a bunch of movies. Since the computer games sometimes take more than 8 GB, this comes in handy. Nevertheless, if you only use a USB flash for a couple of photos, excel spreadsheets or word documents, I advise you to take a 2 or 4 GB stick. They are much cheaper and sometimes a bit faster! This is because they had to use a Multi-Layer Cell (MLC) memory to achieve the 16 GB storage. Since the flash drives with smaller storage capacity uses Single-Layer Cell memory (SLC), they perform faster. This flash drive has a read performance of 25 MB's/ sec
The USB flash drive is compatible with Vista and Ubuntu, which is very good. So you don't have to worry if your friends have a Linux or a windows operating system. I don't know if it is compatible with a Mac, because I don't have one.
The corsair Flash Voyager GT 16 GB comes with a 10 year warranty which isn't bad. This USB flash drive is definitely worth its money since you can be sure it will work for the following 10 years.
This USB flash drive is available at a price of 40£.
