Corsair Rolls Out a 64GB Flash Voyager USB Drive

Corsair has always been a pioneer, concerning portable storage drives, and as we speak, the company has launched another flash-stick milestone, boosted with 64GB of storage capacity, literally doubling previous 32GB version. Surprisingly, you won’t need to break your saving box to get this one, since this ultimate storing, transporting and backing solution is priced at merely $199, which is fair enough, comparing to last year’s costing. The good news are, that with this large density, you can store complete seasons of your favorite TV shows or the entire contents of most notebook hard drives, and because those drives are bootable, you can actually store full versions of operating systems and applications, in case you’re facing system problems. The new drives will be available immediately, but to be more convinced, check out the comparison table after the break.

This new USBee flash drive concept won the first prize at the MS Industrial USB Competition. It features a bending neck (whatever it means), a ventilation cooling system to provide  chilled air around the circuit board (redundant), and a detachable cap that hooks at the back.
