the up-coming USB 3.0 or the already current

The read speeds matched my previous Robocopy and HDTune results with a score of 30.9MB/s, very close to Corsair's own estimate of 32MB/s.

The write speeds, however, did not fare as well and I only managed to record a maximum of 20.7 MB/s, well below Corsair's estimate of 28MB/s. Compared to the Kingston DataTraveler 150 32GB the read speeds are on-par while the write speed on the Corsair Flash Voyager GT 128GB clearly beats the Kingston DT150 back into the stone-age.

As the largest capacity and fastest performing USB flash drive to ever step into EverythingUSB's test-bench, the sheer cost of the drive stops me from recommending it to the average consumer unless the before-stated average consumer is less average and more rich.

I can certainly see a niche market for these size of drives using a USB interface but feel overall that manufacturers are flogging a dead horse with large capacity flash drives built around the USB 2.0 interface when they should really be concentrating on either the up-coming USB 3.0 or the already current and fully supported eSATA interface.

Price and size aside, this drive is certainly a great performer and should please any owner willing to put up with the heavy weight and slightly bulky size.
