Corsair Flash Voyager CMFUSB2.0-4GB

The case of the Flash Voyager drive is made out of black and dark-turquoise rubber. This material protects the device against shocks and water. Having an original and rounded design of the case, the drive lies snugly in the hand. The manufacturer’s name, the name of the model and the address of the corporate website are printed on the drive’s case.

The Flash Voyager series includes models with capacities of 512MB as well as 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16GB. The drive supports USB 2.0. The manufacturer doesn’t declare its speed characteristics.

This drive is shipped with a string for carrying it, a USB cable, and a mini-CD with a user manual and the TrueCrypt program with its manual. This program can create virtual disks encrypted with the AES-256 algorithm to store confidential data. You have to enter a password to access data on such disks.

This drive is an exact copy of the previous model except for storage capacity. This model can store two times more data, but the rest of the parameters and the accessories are the same. The only thing we should note about our sample is that its cap didn’t sit tight enough on the connector. It might slip off accidentally or lose its waterproof properties.

The accessories to this model are the same as you get with the previous one, so we won’t repeat the description.
