USB flash drives that are really capable to take full advantage of USB 3.0 wide bandwidth are still quite rare these days and USB 2.0 thumb drives are still being launched by various manufacturers. Lucky for us, Corsair is concentrating on performance and quality and thus the company is getting ready to launch yet another impressive USB 3.0 flash drive.
The new drive is officially called Corsair Flash Voyager Slider CMFSL3 and it comes in 64GB, 32GB, 16GB, and 8GB capacities. The design can easily be called cool and also has a clear and useful functionality as it is a cap-less design that will allow the user to forget about worrying that he might lose the cap. Corsair Flash Voyager Slider CMFSL3 touts impressive read speeds of 85 MB/s for the 64GB model, 80 MB/s for the 32GB version and 70 MB/s for the 16GB and 8GB models. When writing, the 64GB drive can reach an impressive 70 MB/s, PC Watch reports. The 32GB model will write data at a maximum of 40 MB/s and the 16GB and 8GB versions will write at a maximum of 20 MB/s.
We don’t understand why some manufacturers still launch slow and “ancient” USB 2.0 flash drives in our days, but the Corsair Flash Voyager Slider CMFSL3, while perfectly compatible with USB 2.0 controllers, takes full advantage of the USB 3.0 bandwidth and sports some impressive performance figures. Real tests performed on the 64GB model have revealed a sequential read performance of almost 90 MB/s and a write speed of 69 MB/s. The new drive is backed by a 5-year warranty and it will be officially launched on 11th of this month.
