Fremont (CA) – Remember when 1 GB USB flash drives were all the rage?  Well Corsair is laughing at those measly drives by rolling out two 32 GB drives.  The Flash Voyager and its more studier cousin, the Flash Survivor, both sport 256-bit AES encryption.  The drives are also bootable.

Coated in rubber, the Flash Voyager is fairly sturdy in its own right, but Corsair claims the aluminum-encased Survivor is shockproof and waterproof up to 200 meters.  Why you would want to take a USB stick down to those depths is beyond us, but at least the consumer gets a little extra peace of mind.

The Flash Voyager and Flash Survivor are commercially available now for $230 and $250 respectively.  Both drives come with a 10-year limited warranty.  Early adopters are reporting the drives have fairly respectable 21 MB/sec read and 7 MB/sec write speeds.
