Corsair Flash Voyager 8GB performance issue

[pcgeek]

Hi!

The performance of my first Corsair Flash Voyager 8GB was fine, however it could not be detected after some time of use, so I RMA'd it.

However, the new Corsair Flash Voyager 8GB I received has really poor performance, it has slow speed either when reading and writing.

Maybe the new Voyager comes with different flash chips and controller than the old one I guess?

I would like to know what is the "normal" specs of the new Corsair Flash Voyager 8GB?

I can't check the official read and write specs for this flash drive right now, since the product page for Corsair Flash Voyager 8GB is down at the moment, so I am not sure if I can RMA this drive stating that it is slow.

Here's the benchmark results of the drive:

Note that the read speed is far more slower than write speed starting from 8.0KB transfer size which is quite weird.

Should I RMA this drive again?

Thanks!
