Corsair has launched what it claims to be the world’s fastest USB flashdrive. The Flash Voyager GT, as it is called, is a 128GB high capacity USB flash drive.

Flash Voyager GT can read at the top speed of 32Mbps and has the writing speed of upto 25.6Mbps which is almost the speed limit of the USB 2.0 bus. Even with the high data holding capacity, the flash drive is 75% smaller than regular flashdrives of less than half the capacity.

“High performance is a key requirement for super-high capacity flash drives, such as the 128GB Voyager GT, simply because it is able to store such a large volume of data,”says John Beekley, VP of Applications at Corsair. “The 128GB Voyager GT is nearly twice as fast as other high-capacity flash drives, which means less time waiting for your music, video, or office files to copy to and from the drive.”

The other flashdrives of 128GB capacity available in the market are Kingston’s DataTraveler and DiscGo. The Flash Voyager GT costs $400. Too much? well its currently the cheapest 128GB flashdrive available
