Corsair Flash Voyager GT Turbo USB 3.0 Flash Drives

NEW DELHI / BANGALORE, India - January 31, 2013

Corsair®, a worldwide designer and supplier of high-performance components to the PC hardware market, today announced the Flash Voyager® GT Turbo flash drives, the world's fastest native USB 3.0 flash drives. Available in 128GB, 64GB, and 32GB capacities, the new flash drives deliver affordable, leading-edge file transfer speeds previously only available in far more expensive "USB 3.0 to SATA bridge" based drives.



The Flash Voyager GT Turbo USB 3.0 flash drives are housed in a sleek, sturdy, brushed metal housing with a convenient capless design. The new flash drives deliver transfer speeds never-before-seen in a native USB 3.0 flash drive, with read speeds of up to 260 MB/s and write speeds of up to 235 MB/s, 1.7times faster than other native USB 3.0 flash drives. The drives connect with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports, and work with Microsoft® Windows®, Mac OS® X, and Linux® with no additional software required.

Thi La, Senior VP and GM of Memory and Enthusiast Component Products at Corsair at Corsair said, "The enormous file sizes of modern HD movies, music, and photos continue to push the need for greater storage space and faster file copy speeds. The Flash Voyager GT Turbo drives provide massive portable data storage and extreme transfer speeds at an affordable price point for consumers."

i really like how unique corsair designs the 'flash' series of pen-drives. personally appeals to me, even if speeds may be teeny-weeny bit slower than some of their competitor drives.

The price on corsair's US website for the 128GB version is 179$ which should mean it should sell at around 150$ or less in retail.. For India, you can assume it would sell around 200$ eqvt, so around 10-12k INR.
Nostalgia just hit me though. I bought a 4GB Sandisk USB drive around 8-9 years ago for the same price. In US. In a deal + coupon + pricematch. :/
