so today I'm going to be doing a quick and dirty unboxing of one of my Christmas presents which is a Corsair
flash Voyager 8 gig Drive I mean you can
never have enough USB thumb drives is is my mentality pretty much and the Flash
Voyager is a pretty good little drive it's got a ruggedized rubber sheathing
that goes all around it to protect it should you drop it or step on it or do
whatever else it is you need to do to it so basically what Corsair says about it
is that it is durable shockproof plug-and playay Windows compatible and
carries a 10-year Limited warranty so like so many of Corsair's products the
warranty is what really sets it apart from you know buying a generic one off
the shelf at whatever Big Box store okay
so let's just get this open from the bottom here and we'll just have a quick
look this won't take long I promise uh
the flash Voyager is available in a bunch of different sizes I think
throughout the life cycle of this product it's been anywhere from I think like 64 Megs and now it goes up to about
64 gigs so you can see that it has kind of like a green rubberized grippy
business at on either side here this is an activity LED that shows you if you
are using it and it is has data transferring this key ring I'm not sure
how much I like this because you can see there's no structure inside it it's
actually just Rubber and I've run into a bit of an issue with my Corsair Survivor
Drive where the the key hook is not durable enough and it's actually
starting to come off they've got a link here to Corsair memory.com and you can
see removing the cap is actually not that easy so on unless you're using it
just excessively taking the cap off and putting it back on it should maintain
its grippiness on the USB contact itself
and you shouldn't have too much trouble with losing the cap but something to be aware of is that if you contact Corsair
and let them know you lost your cap they will send you a replacement cap that is
their policy so there's your USB interface itself and thank you for
checking out my unboxing of the Corsair flash Voyager
