Who needs USB 3.0 adapters (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/23/belkin-unleashes-overpriced-usb-3-0-peripherals-pcie-card-expr/) when you've got Corsair (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Corsair/), right? In a feat of engineering that can only be described as earth-shattering (or supercalifragilistic, if you prefer), said outfit has somehow created a USB 2.0 flash drive that not only beats the competition in head-to-head speed tests, but obliterates it. The 128GB Flash Voyager GTR utilizes a fancy quad-channel architecture in order to deliver read speeds up to 34MB/sec and write speeds up to 28MB/sec, which is around six times faster than some mysterious competitor that the company pit its drive against. There's no mention of a price or release just yet, but at least you can put off the inevitable leap to SuperSpeed USB for a few more months, right?Corsair's 128GB Flash Voyager GTR thumb drive takes USB 2.0 to new heights (http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/corsairs-128gb-flash-voyager-gtr-thumb-drive-takes-usb-2-0-to-n/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Wed, 03 Mar 2010 00:42:00 EST.
