    Corsair's 8Gig Voyager leaves (USB) port

    Yes, I thought of the title all by myself!
    Corsair has expanded its high speed USB flash drive line with a new Flash Voyager model, packing in 8GiB of storage. That's room for 2048 4MiB mp3s, says Corsair (and the company's maths checks out), or about 2500 digital photos taken at 6 mega pixels.

    Very good

    Is it physically any larger than the smaller Flash Voyagers? I'll be looking to replace my 512mb one eventually...

    I don't think it'll be any larger, no.

    Does the encryption system require admin rights? I looked into using Truecrypt, but it's not very useful for using the drive on alien systems where you don't have admin access to load the driver.

    Sounds good, i'm guessing other companies will follow suit fairly soon, are there going to be 8gb SD cards coming out as well, that would be very very useful..

    *goes and works out how many Nintendo retro games you can fit onto an 8gb SD card..*
