Ever since the first product from this family arrived in stores, Corsair's Voyager drives have been quite renowned for providing fairly large storage capacities in a very tough and shock-resilient body. And that is also the case with the company's latest product, which packs no less than an amazing 64 GB of flash memory and can be purchased at a surprisingly low price point.

And if you were wondering what you could ever do with a flash drive providing such a huge amount of storage space, consider the following figures: 19,840 6-megapixel digital photos, 26 hours and 40 minutes of MPEG-2 videos at 30 fps and 5 Mbps or up to 304 hours of MPEG-4 videos at 15 fps and 284 Kbps, or an amazing 16,000 songs in MP3, 128 Kbps format.

In addition, Corsair 64GB USB Flash Voyager 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. Practically, since Corsair's flash drivers typically provide quite a high level of reliability, you won't even need a HDD anymore, so you can go ahead and purchase that netbook you've been dreaming about without having to pay a premium for additional storage.

"Corsair is always developing new and exciting flash products, and the 64GB USB Flash Voyager is no exception," said John Beekley, Vice President of Applications at Corsair, when talking about the company's latest product. "With more storage space than most laptops, we can offer a full suite of features – whether it be backing up data, building a portable media library, or simply transporting huge amounts of data," he added.

The official pricing for this thing is of around 250 US dollars, but word on the street (well, word on the Internet) is that you'll actually be able to find it for under 200 bucks, which is actually a very good deal.
