Fast Stuff But With More Cargo Space

Flash drive with higher capacities might have been around and prices might have dropped but there was always something missing — performance. The all new Corsair Voyager GT 16GT completes the empty spaces.

This drive like some of the other premium flash drives from the competition comes in a rubber body and a cap. This also makes it waterproof and shockproof. The package comes with an USB extension cable so you don’t have to plug the drive at the rear of the cabinet. A bunch of tests were run on the drive and the performance in general was pretty impressive.

SiSoft Sandra recorded a drive index score of 30MBps. Random access time was a minimal 1 ms. HD Tach recorded an average read speed of 31.1 MBps and an average write of 14.4 MBps, both of which are really good for a flash drive. The maximum burst speed was recorded at 33 MBps.

Even real world tests which we run gave similar results. A 1 GB file was copied to the drive in just a minute three seconds. A three gigabyte file could be read in 1 minute 46 seconds. Reading multiple smaller files of 3 GB was a bit slower as expected. The real hit was when multiple files were written to the drive. It took 8 minutes 59 seconds to transfer.
