Corsair drops new 64GB Flash Survivor USB drive

By Shane McGlaun on Thursday, Oct 15th 2009 No Comments

My first computer was a Tandy from Radio Shack that my parents bought for me one Christmas when I was five. The thing didn’t even have a hard drive and the first computer I had with a hard drive has a few measly megabytes of storage and wouldn’t even hold my IM app today. My point is that we are always needing more storage space and what we think is enough. If your old flash drive is full and you are in need of something with more space, Corsair has announced a new 64GB Flash Survivor USB drive that may be just the ticket.

Corsair more typically show up on these pages for their SSD offerings, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t beavering away on other devices elsewhere. A good example is the Corsair Professional Series HX650W modular power supply, successor to the HX620W, and promising to be the best option for those building an Intel Core i5 or Core i7 PC.

SlashGear Week in Review – Week 35 2009

By Shane McGlaun on Sunday, Aug 30th 2009 1 Comment

Another week has come and gone leaving us with memories and a hoard of cool stories to throw your way for weekend reading in case you missed them over the week. An Asus 900HA netbook was hacked into a touchscreen slate on Monday and we really liked it. DIY gear is so cool, especially when it turns out this good. Monday also brought some details on the Blackberry Storm 2 piezo touchscreen tech. We really hope its better than the original Storm.

Corsair 128GB Flash Voyager GT: pointlessly fast?

By Chris Davies on Thursday, Aug 13th 2009 No Comments

Corsair’s new 128GB Flash Voyager GT thumb-drive is, the company claims, so speedy that its throughput is effectively limited by the capacity of a USB 2.0 port. That either means that USB 3.0 can’t come quickly enough, or that Corsair’s engineers basically wasted their time and could’ve slacked off in the latter stages of the Voyager GT’s development.
