so today I'm going to be doing a quick and dirty unboxing of one of my Christmas presents which is a Corsair
0:05
flash Voyager 8 gig Drive I mean you can
0:08
never have enough USB thumb drives is is my mentality pretty much and the Flash
0:12
Voyager is a pretty good little drive it's got a ruggedized rubber sheathing
0:17
that goes all around it to protect it should you drop it or step on it or do
0:21
whatever else it is you need to do to it so basically what Corsair says about it
0:25
is that it is durable shockproof plug-and playay Windows compatible and
0:28
carries a 10-year Limited warranty so like so many of Corsair's products the
0:32
warranty is what really sets it apart from you know buying a generic one off
0:37
the shelf at whatever Big Box store okay
0:40
so let's just get this open from the bottom here and we'll just have a quick
0:43
look this won't take long I promise uh
0:46
the flash Voyager is available in a bunch of different sizes I think
0:49
throughout the life cycle of this product it's been anywhere from I think like 64 Megs and now it goes up to about
0:54
64 gigs so you can see that it has kind of like a green rubberized grippy
1:00
business at on either side here this is an activity LED that shows you if you
1:04
are using it and it is has data transferring this key ring I'm not sure
1:09
how much I like this because you can see there's no structure inside it it's
1:13
actually just Rubber and I've run into a bit of an issue with my Corsair Survivor
1:18
Drive where the the key hook is not durable enough and it's actually
1:21
starting to come off they've got a link here to Corsair memory.com and you can
1:25
see removing the cap is actually not that easy so on unless you're using it
1:31
just excessively taking the cap off and putting it back on it should maintain
1:35
its grippiness on the USB contact itself
1:38
and you shouldn't have too much trouble with losing the cap but something to be aware of is that if you contact Corsair
1:43
and let them know you lost your cap they will send you a replacement cap that is
1:47
their policy so there's your USB interface itself and thank you for
1:51
