Corsair has thought that the current high-end USB 3.0 Flash Drives do not offer enough read/write performances for users which transfer big files and when dealing with 128/256GB drives, we usually need a lot of time to wait until all the space is fully filled, unlike on a SSD. Speaking of SSD, the Voyager GTX Corsair can be considered a SSD on USB 3.0, being able to reach speeds we haven’t found on other similar products before; let’s go first and see the packaging which is quite slim, made from a combination of transparent plastic and cardboard, so we can see how the product looks like even before unsealing the enclosure. In the front we can also see the total drive capacity:
On the back side, besides a small product description in multiple languages, we will be also able to see a graph which illustrates the speeds we should obtain with the Voyager GTX:
This is not the first time we are seeing such a chassis, it is actually the third time; the main benefits are enhanced durability and enough space inside to store the components and the disadvantage is its width. Because if its size we will be sometimes facing the impossibility to fit another device in a nearby USB port:
The other side of the chassis looks identical, so it houses the Corsair along with the product name logo:
Here is also a view on the lateral side in order to see the thickness:
In the back we have the place designated for fitting a lanyard, which is not included:
The protective port cover is made from the same aluminum with plastic material and looks really sturdy:
Here is also a view at the USB connector itself, which has the capacity and serial number laser etched:
