Corsair has provided a utility that helps users create the Ultimate Bootable USB Flash Drive. One outstanding feature of this tool is that it is very simple for end users to add advanced functionality to the tool once the basic installation is complete.

A drive like the Flash Survivor GTR, pictured below, can become a wonderful tool in a few easy steps. An ISO image is an image of an optical disk and this tool has the ability to boot from a bootable ISO image thus eliminating the need to burn a CD or DVD. Following the directions in this guide, the user simply downloads the desired ISO file, extracts it to the USB drive, edits three lines of text, and the tool is ready to use.

Key Features:

• Built from lightweight, aircraft-grade aluminum
• Water proof to 200 meters
• Vibration and shock resistant
• Plug-n-Play compatible
• Limited 5 year warranty

There are many options that an user can add to the basic version of this tool. Most Linux distributions can be downloaded as ISO files. With this tool, users can boot to Linux from their drive which amounts to a pocket sized portable operating system.

Moving data is still an arduous task. It's gotten better, though, with the advent of fast flash drives, and there's none faster than the new Flash Voyager GTR. The Flash Voyager GTR is just awesome. How awesome? In our lab tests, we compared the 128GB version against a major competitor's 128GB fast flash drive. Instead of relying on artificial benchmarks, though, we decided to move some real files back and forth and see what kind of speeds we'd get:

The performance speaks for itself. The Flash Voyager GTR is nearly six times as fast when copying documents, and nearly twice as fast with everything else!

This kind of speed means less time waiting for files to copy, and more time using a USB drive as it was intended. Put your favorite movies or your entire MP3 collection onto your laptop in minutes. Make a bootable USB drive with your favorite Operating Systems on it. Copy all your favorite programs to it, some of which can be run from the drive itself! With speed like this, an external hard drive can be reserved for large file storage and left plugged in at home. There's no need to lug around that heavy external drive with its power brick when the Flash Voyager GTR easily outperforms it.

Use it as a hard drive, an OS loader, a media jukebox, or whatever you like-the Flash Voyager GTR will do it with speed to spare.

Corsair has provided an easy to use utility that will convert your USB flash drive into a versatile bootable tool. Developed by Pendrivelinux.com, the simple installation makes the drive bootable allowing the user to boot directly to Memtest or to a FreeDOS prompt. The drive is also still fully usable as a standard USB flash drive.

USB 3.0 Speed

If you move a lot of data, you've noticed that as convenient as flash drives are, they never seem to be as fast as you'd like. USB 3.0 changes the game. Flash Survivor USB 3.0 offers read speeds up to four times faster than traditional USB 2.0 drives. It's fast enough to view most videos directly from your Flash Survivor, without having to take the usual extra step of copying it to a hard drive first.

High-Performance USB 2.0 Compatibility

Not only is Flash Survivor USB 3.0 backward compatible with USB 2.0 - it offers great performance, too. No matter how up-to-date your PC is, you'll be able to quickly take care of moving your files and be off on your next adventure.

Universal Compatibility

It works with Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and even Linux without drivers, and there's no software to install - just plug it in, and go. If your computer has a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 connector, you can use Flash Survivor USB 3.0.
