Corsair has been pretty popular with the enthusiast and PC performance crowd – most of which also happen to be gamers obsessed on pushing 3D framerates – for years now, mainly because of the brand’s solid line of memory modules, solid state drives and power supply units. They’ve just announced a new line of performance peripherals called Vengeance, made up of two gaming mice and two keyboards that specifically target – initially, at least – FPS players and MMO/RTS players.
Flash drives are flash drives, and flash drives that count “security” among its top features usually end up to be pretty boring—but necessary—products for Average Joe. But here’s how it gets interesting: by adding hardware-based encryption and an actual numpad for keying in a password. We first saw this on the Aegis Padlock Secure portable drive, but that was a 2.5-inch portable drive. Corsair’s Flash Padlock 2 adds the keypad onto a compact USB flash drive that can fit into a pocket, somehow making “security” way more cool compared to having to deal with encrypting software every time you have to push or pull data securely.
Corsair has just announced the Flash Survivor GT, a new 64GB flash drive the company claims to be “the most rugged high-capacity flash drive on the market.” Built with a CNC-milled, aircraft-grade aluminum shell, the drive is further protected by a molded, shock-dampening collar to protect it from bumps and drops and an EPDM seal that gives it water-resistance down to 200 meters.
The 64GB Flash Survivor GT is now available, and is selling for $170 on Amazon. 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB capacities are also available.
Corsair has recently announced a capacity upgrade for their Flash Voyager GT flash drives. Previously available in up to 64GB, the new 128GB model will still feature the line’s design and features that include a rubber shock and water-resistant exterior and fast MLC flash memory for fast transfers.
The new 128GB model is now available for $400. All models are compatible with Linux, Mac OS X and Windows and come with a 10-year warranty.
Memory maker Corsair has just updated their performance memory line with a couple of new memory modules designed for systems running Intel’s Core i5-750, Core i7-870, and Core-860 Lynnfield processors. The update includes two 4GB kits (2 x 2GB) for the company’s 1600MHz XMS line, and 4GB kits for the 1600MHz Dominator and flagship 2000MHz Dominator GT series.
