Corsair Reveal Up To 256GB Flash Voyager GS USB 3.0 Storage Drives

Corsair have just unveiled some rather impressive high capacity USB 3.0 flash drives. The new Flash Voyager GS series comes with 64GB, 128GB and 256GB storage options all using the USB 3.0 interface. These drives are capable of up to 285MB/s read and 180MB/s write. They are of course backwards compatible with older USB 2.0 standards but will be limited by the bandwidth of those. The drives have a brushed metal casing and plastic keyring holder at the end to attach to your key rings. Compatibility, like with most USB storage drives, is plug and play on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

Pricing and details can be seen below. The MSRP works out to be about $1 per GB for the two larger capacity models making them roughly equivalent to SSDs in pricing.
