CES 2008: Corsair Intros 32 GB Versions of Its Flash Voyager and Survivor USB Flash Drives

As expected, most of the important names in the CE industry have already begun to make all sorts of CES-related announcements (although the show itself doesn't start until Monday), so we'll start this fine pre-CES day with the latest news from Corsair.

Thus, the famous manufacturer of memory modules and various flash-based storage solutions has announced that it is expanding its Flash Voyager and Flash Survivor USB family lines with new 32GB capacity offerings, which, quite obviously, will be showcased at the company's booth on the CES floor.

According to the company's statement, the new drives are designed to be the ultimate solution for storing, transporting and backing up large amounts of personal and professional data. Whether using the Corsair proprietary all-rubber Flash Voyager or the aluminum-encased water-proof Flash Survivor, the large amounts of data on the drive will be safeguarded for users with an active lifestyle.

Corsair 32GB drives provide the storage capacity necessary to hold over 16 full-length, high-definition movies or even an entire season of the user's favorite TV series. These large density drives can also be used as portable back-up devices for critical or sensitive information. In addition, Corsair 32GB USB 2.0 drives are bootable, which means users can actually store full versions of operating systems and applications in order to quickly "re-create" the necessary software environments to troubleshoot system problems.

"Whether with innovative designs, like the Flash Voyager and Flash Survivor, or industry leading large-density drives in convenient portable form-factors, Corsair is always pushing the limit of what USB portable storage has to offer," said Jack Peterson, VP of Marketing at Corsair. "Our newest USB additions will allow a whole new set of users - multimedia, technical and data conscious - to take advantage of rugged, high-performance solid-state storage," added Peterson.

The new 32 GB Corsair units are already available through the company's retail channels, at MSRPs of $230 (the Voyager) and $250 (the Survivor), the users getting the drives, as well as a lanyard, security software/driver preloaded, and USB extension cable bundled in the package.
