These days only the announcement of new tablets and new smartphones will kick the community. Nobody cares about USB flash drives anymore. Nonetheless, they’ve become a vital component of many a workflow and our daily lives, that sometimes you just don’t feel easy if you left yours at home.

We copy and transfer almost any type of data, and these days where most contents are in HD sizes, speed is becoming a very important criterion to buying USB flash drives. It just feel stupid to wait for the transfer of 20GB files for 15 minutes, when you can had it done in just under five. But speed is not only the important thing around. As we bring along our USB flash drive to almost anywhere, be it the loo or the jungle or the court, they’ll have to withstand the ever changing environment and safe guard our important data, or movies.

And Corsair did just that with its Flash Voyager, Flash Voyager GT, and “adventure-proof” Flash Survivor lines. The entry level Voyagers ship in 8GB ($17) and 16GB ($24) capacities, while the premium model offers 32GB and 64GB of storage, for $59 and $129, respectively. 8GB ($28) and 16GB ($35) drives in the ruggedized Survivor series are constructed of aircraft-grade aluminum and are water-proof all the way down to 200 meters — that algae-covered Survivor you found 650 feet down at the bottom of the ocean floor? Yup, it probably still works. The new drives are shipping now, and you can find the full scoop from Corsair just past the break.
