Corsair Flash Voyager Port - Backup for Every Flash Drive
Corsair, the makers of the current speed champ USB flash drive and durability champ
(in wide availability), are looking to extend the functionality of the
their big and fast drives with the Flash Voyager Port. This color
coordinated port bearing USB device allows for any USB drive to be
inserted and with the push of its lone button launches backup software
pulling pre-determined data over to the drive. This basically turns any
USB storage that you have handy into a backup drive. This seems a quite
logical step from one of the companies responsible for quality drives
with the capacity to be used as such. Corsair's current behemoth holds 64GB of data and could easily be the recipient of a few system backups.
Other recent releases from competitors like Sandisk look to combine that function backup+flash drive functionality into a single device. The Voyager Port allows you to use any drive that you want and not have to find a specific one and constantly manage the space on it. The concept is very similar to the ClickFree Transformer cable from a few weeks back but is bundled with NovoBackup 10. The Corsair Voyager Port should be on the market in a few weeks in the $20 range.
