Corsair's popular Flash Voyager USB line reaches new heights in storage capacity today as the company announced a 64GB capacity model. According to Corsair, that's large enough to store a library of DVD-length movies and tens of thousands of high-resolution images.
"Corsair is always developing new and exciting flash products, and the 64GB USB Flash Voyager is no exception," said John Beekley, VP of Applications at Corsair. "With more storage space than most laptops, we can offer a full suite of features - whether it be backing up data, building a portable media library, or simply transporting huge amounts of data."
And if you're wondering if you can slap an OS on the new Flash Voyager, the answer is yes, you can. The large density drive is bootable, making it a potentially attractive solution for ITs and hobbyists alike.
The 64GB drive is available now with an MSRP of $250 (streets for much less), which buys the drive, preloaded security software and drivers, a bundled lanyward, USB extension cable, and a 10-year guarantee.

Makes my 2 gigger look like a floppy.
Remember when hard drives were 60 gigs?

My question is why is this cheaper than a 64 Gig SSD? Different flash memory chips? Slower read/write speeds?? Why couldn't you just install windows on this bad boy and boot from the USB? Would that be slower or faster than a traditional HDD (especially when considering a 5400 RPM laptop drive)???

Apparently the VP of applications over at Corsair hasn't used a laptop recently. I got a laptop two years ago, and without purchasing any hard drive upgrades, it came stock with 120GB of hard drive space, and I've got an older IBM t60 with 80 GB of space. I'm not saying that the corsair isn't a very well stacked storage device, but to say it's got more storage space than a laptop, well, that's a bit much of a claim.
