Corsair Ups Flash Drives to 4GB

Corsair Memory, a maker of memory products, earlier this week announced an upgrade to their line of rugged Flash Voyager USB drives. Starting immediately, a new 4GB capacity is available for $259.

The Flash Voyager USB drive line, which also comes in 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB and 2GB configurations, is enclosed a proprietary all-rubber casing which Corsair says helps to protect against water and high temperatures. The line comes equipped with a security application which creates a hidden, password protected partition on the drive.

Other features of the Flash Voyager series include USB 2.0 plug and play functionality in both Windows and Mac environments, dual channel technology which brings about reported read and write performance at 19MB/sec and 13MB/sec respectively and a bundled lanyard and USB cable.

How to clean up your hard drive

A hard disk drive that showcases the inner components.

Performing regular maintenance is crucial for ensuring a PC delivers a smooth experience for the system owner and keeping all the core functionality of the computer intact. Generally, as time goes by, data, files, applications, folders, and more all play a part in cluttering hard drives.

Without cleaning your hard drive, HDDs will ultimately turn your machine into a shadow of its former self — opening programs is now a tedious and drawn-out process, performing simple tasks takes longer than usual, and nothing operates as efficiently as it once did. Before you know it, your PC’s hard drive has reached a state where you have no option but to rely on external hard drives to store files on.
