Review By legitreviews

The Flash Voyage Mini is a USB 2.0 Flash drive that is about a third of the size of regular USB drives, with a weight of only 5.4 grams. The Voyager Mini uses an all-rubber housing, just like the Flash Voyager, to protect the data placed on it against severe temperature, moisture, or physical abuse. Corsair backs the Flash Voyager Mini with a 10-year Limited Warranty, so if it ever does fail you won’t be getting your data back, but at least you’ll get a new drive. The 4GB version you will have 3.85GB of free space available to store files on, but if that is not enough space the just released 8GB version has 7.52GB of free space. Obviously, the 8GB version is better suited for those that might want to store or transfer larger amounts of data.

The retractable connector locks into place when fully exposed, meaning that you can’t manually push the connector portion back and thus making it easy to insert into USB slots. Pulling back on it, from the raised section, deactivates the locking mechanism and the connector slides back into the housing, creating a water-resistant seal. Simple and easy, eh?

Review By everythingusb

Based on our testing the best performance all-around came from the default formatted FAT32 file table which is what we will be basing our review on. The SiSoft Sandra Removable Storage benchmark indicated that FAT32 read performance on files 256kB or larger is quite reasonable at approximately 9.98-29.87MB/s considering the small size of the drive and the use of MLC NAND flash. FAT32 write performance is definitely the biggest sore point on the Corsair Flash Voyager Mini as any write operations with files smaller than 64MB only write at 2.47-1.07MB/s. Even with file sizes ranging from 64MB to 256MB write speeds never quite reach the magical 10MB/s mark.
