Corsair Flash Voyager Port
Conclusion
Published: 12th May 2009 | Source: Corsair | Price: £19.32 |
ConclusionUsing the Port meant that backing up was no longer a chore, just a simple press of a button. The backup software worked really well, and all my data is now safely stored away.
Although the Port won't be able to touch large, automated backups, for backing up your home snaps or music collection it is simply perfect. Once you have made large changes, or imported a load of new media, just pop in your flash drive and press the button. It's these sort of once in a while backups where the Port really comes in handy. You no longer have to mess around with powering up an external hard disk, then select the files you want, copy them across then pack it away - with the Port it's all done in the single click of a button.
The Flash Voyager port is a great all round product, and I really can't recommend it enough. The difference it makes to the amount of time it takes to backup is superb - Corsair must have been listening to my prayers. The build quality is great, aesthetically it is very pleasing and it works flawlessly; what more could you want?
Priced at £19.32 from Ebuyer, the Port offers good value for money when you consider $50 of software is included as well. The 32gb Flash Voyager drive used in today's review is also available for £59.95 from Ebuyer.
The Good:
+ Build Quality
+ Saves time
+ Included software is easy to use
+ Works flawlessly
+ Great value for money
+ Good aesthetics and feel
The Mediocre:
* Really needs Corsair's own Flash Voyager USB drive to look its best
The Bad:
- Could be a little more weighty

Very nice product and very nice review..
Thing is I'd need a pretty hefty memory stick to be able to back up enough data.

Nice review, link to the 32GB drive is broken 
As bungral said, its not big enough, unless you used it for major backups only...

If It doesnt come back in stock in the next few days then Ill add a different link..
32/64gb may not seem enough, but actually, all my vital data was only a fraction of what I thought it would be.
Just buy a WD passport 160gb for £45 and use that, doesnt have to be the usb stick.

One thing I hate about the Passport is that it is so f00king expensive. Well for me anyways. 
Looks and sounds great. One question though is does the port/software allow for backup of the USB stick to your PC? as I would find that more useful backing up my PC to the USB Stick.

Sorry for not making my self clear. I currently keep alot of my documents and files on my USB stick as I work between 4 pc's at different locations. As such every so often I take a copy of my usb stick as save it to my PC. Can this device do this for at a press of a button?

Thanks for that, it sounds like this device will be no good for what i need to do, as i want a quicker way to take a backup of my usb stick rather than use the stick as a backup drive.
