Modern flash drives lose weight

    FV LogoWe bought two exactly the same 8-gigabyte Corsair Flash Voyager flash drives (the usual "blue", not GT) with a difference of 9 months.

    It would seem that what could happen in 9 months in the market with a model of a reputable manufacturer? It turns out a lot ...

    Both flash drives are formatted the same in FAT32 / 4Kb.
    Speeds were measured by copying a 350-megabyte movie into the FAR with time tracking by an external stopwatch.

    And now I’m thinking, either the manufacturer decided to tease the parameters to increase the rating of the “high-speed” model (Flash Voyager GT), or we can see an active reduction in production as the price of the device decreases below the threshold of $ 100.

    Sad gentlemen.
