Corsair Voyager Port Turns USB Drives Portable Backup & Recovery Devices

Corsair have unveiled a device, known as the Corsair Voyager Port, that
promises to turn any USB flash drive into what Corsair term as a
'powerful and flexible portable backup and recovery device'.

Featuring a USB 2.0 port mounted in the top of the device, the Corsair
Voyager Port will come bundled with the NovaBACKUP 10 backup software
package that springs into action on the depression of a button on the
Voyager Port to commence a backup of specified folders directly to a
connected USB flash drive.

Your most important personal data, such as documents, spreadsheets,
PDFs and presentations generally only occupies a few gigabytes of hard
disk space, meaning that huge hard disk-based backup drives are largely
wasted, said Jim Carlton, VP of Marketing, Corsair, who introduced the
new Corsair Voyager Port. Our research indicated that over 80% of users
have a 'My Documents' folder of less than 64GB, and more than 85% need
to regularly transport less than 64GB of data between different PCs.
This shows that USB flash drives are an efficient method of backing up
your data, and with high-capacity USB flash drives, there's still plenty
of room for your favourite music, photos and even movies.

If you don't have a dedicated backup drive and you don't fancy taking
the manual (and somewhat time consuming) approach then the Corsair
Voyager Port could prove a worthy investment - especially if, like me,
you have tons of USB flash drives hanging around unutilised.

Corsair are yet to offer any pricing details.
