Torture Test - Corsair Flash Voyager GT
Let’s find out just how tough the Corsair Flash Voyager GT USB flash drive really is.
Do you ever wonder what marketers mean when they use words such as durable and rugged? I do! So when Corsair sent me a Flash Voyager GT USB flash drive for review – a drive that is described in the sales literature as “durable, water resistant, drop-tested,” – I decided to give it some really rough treatment to find out just how durable this drive really is.
Drive Specification
Before we go on, here’s the spec for the Corsair Flash Voyager GT:
- Capacity: 2, 4, 8 and 16GB (the drive I tested was an 8GB model)
