The Corsair Voyager Go flash drive, is a decent little piece of kit. The read speed is excellent, but write speed is quite limited, indicated by our test results.
To be fair it is not built with pure performance in mind. It is designed to be a tiny, ‘on the go' drive with plenty of backup space. In this regard you are unlikely to be disappointed. Yes there are better performing backup drives readily available, but none of them have a micro-USB port built in, meaning if you want to take something off your phone you would need a cable and a PC.
The Voyager Go performs reasonably well in USB 2.0 and 3.0 environments. While you will get better performance from a USB 3.0 port, don't feel you need to ignore this device just because your system only has the older connectors.
The Go is well priced for such a large capacity. When we factor in the diminutive dimensions, 64GB is a huge capacity and is likely to be more than enough for the average smartphone. If you are running out of space, then the Voyager Go makes for a great low cost addition to your mobile world.
The Corsair Voyager Go is priced between £15 and £39, depending on which size one you want and where you shop for it. The one tested here today, can be found at Ebuyer for £38.76.

KitGuru Says: Portability, ease of use and storage capacity are key selling points. It is a very capable, diminutive drive and definitely worth considering.
No cable could also be a minus if you put music on then it might break in your pocket without a cable.
