The price for the drive is Rs 2,200. That’s not very expensive for the performance and the sturdy build quality that you get. Even though this is supposed to be one of the higher-end flash drives, it makes good value for money.
Fast Stuff But With More Cargo Space
Flash drive with higher capacities might have been around and prices might have dropped but there was always something missing — performance. The all new Corsair Voyager GT 16GT completes the empty spaces.
This drive like some of the other premium flash drives from the competition comes in a rubber body and a cap. This also makes it waterproof and shockproof. The package comes with an USB extension cable so you don’t have to plug the drive at the rear of the cabinet. A bunch of tests were run on the drive and the performance in general was pretty impressive.
SiSoft Sandra recorded a drive index score of 30MBps. Random access time was a minimal 1 ms. HD Tach recorded an average read speed of 31.1 MBps and an average write of 14.4 MBps, both of which are really good for a flash drive. The maximum burst speed was recorded at 33 MBps.
Even real world tests which we run gave similar results. A 1 GB file was copied to the drive in just a minute three seconds. A three gigabyte file could be read in 1 minute 46 seconds. Reading multiple smaller files of 3 GB was a bit slower as expected. The real hit was when multiple files were written to the drive. It took 8 minutes 59 seconds to transfer.
