use storage device. It connects to any available USB port enabling your computer
to quickly detect and configure the disk without restarting the computer. Read,
write, copy, delete and access files the same way as you use a disk drive.
Available in several large capacities the Corsair Flash Voyager USB 2.0 Flash Drive
allows you to play MP3 files, run program applications or play videos directly from
the disk.
The Corsair Flash Voyager USB 2.0 Flash Drive is so compact and durable that you
can carry it with you anywhere. Easy to install and use, you can use it to replace
your floppy diskettes, ZIP drives, MO drives, and even CD-RW discs. Because it
uses durable solid-state flash memory, it has no moving parts inside and makes it
shock resistant and allows for many years of use.
The Corsair Flash Voyager USB 2.0 Flash Drive also provides data security with
disk partitioning and password security features. The USB Flash Disk (UFD) Utility
allows you to easily create and configure one or two-partition drives - an open
partition drive with no password and a secured partition drive with a password
security option. The secured partition drive allows you to store your important files
and protect them from being accessed by setting a password to hide the partition.
Future access to the secured partition drive requires first to run the security utility
and then to enter the correct password to unlock the drive.
