Corsair Survivor GTR 32GB Flash Drive Review

👤by James Clewer Comments 📅25-05-10
Conclusion

The Corsair Survivor GTR 32GB is a robust, tough, well designed and excellent performing flash storage drive.

It\'s only real negatives are the sheer size of the drive and the price tag which is around £25 more than similar \'non-rugged\' and £5-£10 more than \'rugged\' competition.


The excellent Corsair Flash Survivor GTR.


That said, you are getting a particularly rugged item that comes with a 10 year warranty as well as the excellent Corsair brand name. It\'s also a staggeringly fast USB drive - imagine transferring 32GB of data to one of these. Judging by the testing stage it could conceivable take around 40% of the time to shift that amount of data to this drive. It\'s the difference between a 25 minute wait or an hours wait... your choice!

Pros

+ Large capacity
+ Incredibly fast read and write performance
+ Plug and play
+ Great looking
+ 10 year warranty
+ Tough design means it\'ll stand a fall
+ Waterproof design will be useful if it ever finds a puddle

Cons

- Price may be an issue for some but if you want rugged then it\'s not so much of a concern

To conclude the Corsair Survivor GTR 32GB is an impressive USB pen. Yes, if I were reviewing it from a simple storage standpoint I could only really give it our Silver award due to the price tag - however, I\'m assessing it on its rugged credentials so a little more comes into it.

In this respect it is competitively priced and performs exceptionally well - I therefore award the excellent Corsair Survivor GTR 32GB our Gold medal.



We would like to thank Corsair for providing us with the Flash Survivor GTR 32gb. Discuss this review on our forums.
