– Corsair Announces Flash Voyager GT Turbo USB 3.0 Flash Drives –

CES 2013 — Las Vegas, Nevada — January 8, 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, 1.7 times 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.

“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,” said Thi La, Senior VP and GM of Memory and Enthusiast Component Products at Corsair. “The Flash Voyager GT Turbo drives provide massive portable data storage and extreme transfer speeds at an affordable price point for consumers.”


Pricing, Availability, and Warranty

The Flash Voyager GT Turbo flash drives will be available in February from Corsair’s worldwide network of resellers and distributors. They are backed by a 5-year warranty and Corsair's well-earned reputation for quality, compatibility, and performance.
Suggested retail pricing are as follows:

• Flash Voyager GT Turbo 128GB: $179.99 USD
• Flash Voyager GT Turbo 64GB: $89.99 USD
• Flash Voyager GT Turbo 32GB: $49.99 USD

Flash Voyager GT Turbo: the world’s fastest native USB flash drive.

The new Flash Voyager GT Turbo is, simply put, the fastest native USB 3.0 flash drive on the planet. Until now, the only way to get transfer performance this fast with a USB flash drive has been with costly USB-SSD hybrids. Flash Voyager GT Turbo brings this level of performance to an economical native USB 3.0 flash drive.

A gigabyte in four seconds.

USB drives were conceived in a world where shuttling office documents back and forth was all you needed. But that’s not good enough anymore. Today, you need to move large images, huge videos, and enormous music collections. You need the capacity to hold them, and more importantly, you shouldn’t have to wait.
The 128GB Flash Voyager GT Turbo clocks in at up to 260 MB / second reads, and writes at up to 235 MB per second. That’s almost twice the speed of other high-performance USB keys. The future of portable storage performance is finally here.

It looks fast, too.

This groundbreaking technology is contained in a brushed metal housing that feels great in the hand. The USB connector retracts securely into the drive with the flick of a slide switch, so there’s no cap to lose.

Features

Universal Compatibility

It works with USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports on Windows, OS X and Linux systems, with no driver installation necessary.

One-Piece Design

The USB connector slides into the housing for transport, so you don’t need to worry about keeping track of a cap.
