Corsair 512 GB USB 3.1 Voyager GTX Premium Flash Drive, Black

I had been looking for a usb stick of this calibar for a while and after some research I dicided to go with the Corsair 512GB USB 3.1 Voyager GTX and wow! This thing is a beast of a USB... Actually, it's more of an SSD squeezed down into the size of a USB flash drive, the build quality is instantly noticeable with be being incased in solid zinc alloy which gives it a nice weighty feel compared to the flimsy plastic usb drives we are all used to, its super fast! Ssd type speeds although when moving lots of large files in bulk I did notice a dip but it still blows all other usb drives I've used out the water, also when transfering larg bulk files it hearts up but nothing major it can still be handled no problem... Pros: It's fast, very fast, its ssd fast, its an ssd! It's ssd storage in a USB stick! It's a quality solid buil, the solid zinc alloy may actually be a heat sink! It's got 5 years warranty! Wowzers! Cons: It's expensive! (worth it imo) It's a little bulky compared to other USBs so could overlap some other usb ports on devices (I use a USB hub so no issues here) Don't lose the USB cap! (it fits snug) It heats up under load (can still easily be handled) Got a bit carried away with this review haha but hopefully some people find it helpful. Peace out nerdlings...

Incredible usb, doesn't get warm and read / write speeds are tops, really heavy and hard to lose

Speed is a welcome feature given I have to sometimes synchronise hundreds of files a day. Solid quality build with a sturdy metal case. You will be surprised that it is on the heavy side. Again a sign of quality because this is due to the case and possibly heat sink desingn. The best aspect is activity LED which is obvious and helps prevent data loss by indicating flash memory is active (recently other cheap companies asus using zero LEDs to save money).

By far the fastest storage device I’ve ever used, might even be quicker than the SSD in my MacBook. My old USB (Samsung BAR 128GB) device suddenly stopped working so I got this to replace it. With my previous USB, I used to have to wait a long time for files to copy. Not an issue with this... Managed to copy almost 80GB to the stick in just over 20 minutes 🤯. The only con I would say is that it’s quite a bit bigger/heavier than what I had before, although it’s still pretty small. I keep it on my key ring and definitely notice the weight difference. Overall I’d say for the upgrade in speed, it’s worth the trade off. Conclusion: Buy this USB!

Compared to most pen drives it is big, heavy and expensive, but it is fast. The read and write speeds are comparable with an internal SSD in an external USB enclosure. When thought of as an external hard disk, it is actually quite small and light. It does stick out a bit more than one would like from the computer when in use. It therefore benefits from the use of a short extension lead (not included) in case of accidental knocks.

i have used over 20 different USB Flash Drives over the past couple of years, they all fall short, for loading, reliability and general use. This Corsair, is of course more expensive than most, BUT, as a DJ i need speed and reliability. WHen using these in a club situation, when i press ' load' a track is loaded instantly. ( due to its SSD speed ) no other USB has offered me this speed. when im transferring large playlists, to this USB it can handle hundreds of tracks at a time, and done in seconds! its a no brainer for me. up to this point used daily, no issues no fuss.

I've got my Pi booting from USB, it's been running off the Corsair 128 GB Voyager GTX for over a year now, with a ton of read and writes. It's fast, so far reliable, and the metal body is good for dissipating heat. A less capable USB would have failed long ago, or hampered performance, so I'm very happy with this one. It's not cheap, but it's worth it.

This is the second one I’ve bought simply because they are so well-made reliable and fast if you’re looking for a good quality sturdy fast USB storage solution trust me when I say this is it and I have had many

J'ai déjà acheté des clés USB Corsair depuis de nombreuses années et je n'ai jamais été déçu. que ce soit flash voyager GT ou flash voyageur GTR, pas le moindre problème. Très grande fiabilité

Item received as described. Great quality product. Well recommended!

Gut das 1TB Modell ist teuer, aber die Geschwindigkeit ist beeindruckend. Ich kopiere oft große Mengen von Dateien auch für Datensicherungen. Eine Sicherung beinhaltet i.d.R. zwischen 40000 bis 120000 Dateien aller Größen, auch viele kleine bei denen die Geschwindigkeit ja häufig stark einbricht. Bei meinen bisherigen Sticks (gute Qualität, i.d.R. 128 GB groß) dauert so eine Sicherung je nach Marke des Sticks zwischen 45 und 70 Minuten. Bei diesem hier ist es in 18 Minuten erledigt. Auch die Lesegeschwindigkeit habe ich schon bei über 300 MB/s erlebt, das kenne ich normalerweise nur von SSDs, die über SATA angeschlossen sind. Ich besitze auch das Modell mit 500 GB, das ist zwar auch schnell, erreicht aber nicht die Geschwindigkeit des 1 TB Modells. Wissen sollte man noch, dass der Stick recht schwer ist (Metallgehäuse; hat aber sicher den Vorteil der besseren Wärmeableitung) und breiter als ein "normales Modell", so dass bei eng beieinander liegenden Ports der Nachbarport vermutlich blockiert ist. Ich habe das aber mit einem kurzen Verlängerungskabel gelöst, funktioniert einwandfrei.

Spettacolare!!! Io la uso sui miei XDJ-1000MK2 pioneer, esportando playlist e tracce da rekordbox. Mai visto un trasferimento dati così veloce. Ha copiato 236 GB di tracce sulla chiavetta all’ incirca in 17 minuti. Diciamo che è abbastanza ingombrante, è un po’ più grande rispetto alle chiavette USB classiche. La fattura del case è strepitosa, molto robusta! E il tocco finale è il led blu all estremità che si illumina quando scrive/legge. Fa un bell effetto sui lettori pioneer. Ottimo acquisto. Lo consiglio vivamente!!

I bought this disk on key after a SanDisk SDCZ880-256G-G46 Extreme PRO 256GB USB 3.1 Solid State Flash Drive died within a few months of light use. I looked for the disk on key with the largest storage, good performance, and pocketability, and got all three. It isn't as fast as an SSD, but it is at least 10x faster than similar products, e.g. Kingston Digital HyperX Savage, for both large and small files, and goes into my jean's small pocket. It is large and heavy for a disk on key, but I don't notice it in my small jeans pocket. Its just solid. Price per GB, the 1TB is about the same as the SanDisk (4x storage, 4x price), and it's smaller brothers. At the moment, it costs about twice as much as a 1TB Samsung T5 SSD, which is the price of size. Its a personal preference, and that's mine. ____________ Later addition, December 2024 ____________ I have two Corsair GTX flash drives for 4+ years. I use them as semi-backups, and had terabytes written to them. Both are working as usual, starting fast, then stabilize at 80MB/s. I love how reliable they are. ____________ Later addition ____________ There's a common complaint about flash drives being that the advertised drive size is larger than the size displayed by OS such as Windows. It is a bluff by all manufacturers, so I think its worth an explanation. Operating systems display drive size with GB = 1024^3 bytes. Manufacturers advertise drive size with GB = 1000^3 bytes. The smaller GB allows for a larger number next to it. For any flash drive by any manufacturers, if the flash drive size is advertised in GB, expect the drive size displayed by the operating system to be ~7% smaller than the advertised size.
