Description
The Corsair Flash Voyager family of USB drives is rugged, stylish, compact, and reliable, making them ideal for transporting MP3s, digital images, presentations and more. Flash Voyager drives are fully Plug and Play with most operating systems and are backward compatible with USB 1.1. Their durable rubber casing is easy to grip and water resistant.
The Flash Voyager product line is both enclosed in the Corsair proprietary all-rubber Flash Voyager housing. Boasting water-resistant properties, these drives allow users to carry more valuable data and applications without compromise. Several reviews of the Flash Voyager products have demonstrated the ruggedness, durability, and reliability of the Flash Voyager family. The Flash Voyager has been shown laundered, baked, frozen, boiled, dropped, and even run over by a SUV in many third party reviews. After all the punishment it receives, the drive continues to work.

Good drives
Reviewed by JC. Review Posted 02/01/2008
Bought two of these after reading various reviews. They're great for the price and much quicker write speeds than the Dabs values ones. It can write about 700Mb in under 2 minutes, which is twice as quick as a Pny 4Gb and much faster than the dabs value one. Read speed for 700Mb is around 30 seconds. Overall very happy with it so far.

Very pleased
Reviewed by AV. Review Posted 09/07/2007
Very fast, Nice piece of technology. Fits oodles of storage space into a very small footprint, the 10 year warranty from Corsair inspires lots of confidence, but still recovery of data from flash drives is difficult if they bust so I use the "add recovery" option on Winrar when I backup files to it. I was tempted to get the 16GB version, but even I don't need that much space. The neck strap (included) makes it much more difficult to lose the tiny (yet important) thing.

Best USB Flash Drive Around?
Reviewed by kryten. Review Posted 12/05/2007
I've had loads of usb flash memory, from SanDisk Cruzers to Disgo's to Sony microvaults and many others. Generally they are all pretty poor and will let you down eventually. But these Corsairs do have...something! I've been using the 2GB one for about 10 weeks and been very happy with it, it's fast and feels nice. So I bought another 8GB one and been using it for a few days. So far though - Very Very Happy. I mean 8GB around your neck as a network/server admin is a good thing, right? I also carry an 80GB 2.5" hard disk in a usb enclosure and will be doing regular backups to that because your not going to want to lose 8GB of data when it croaks. This usb drive is plenty fast, plenty big and seriously handy, with street cred looks to boot, for £50 you can't really go wrong, I mean, thats what we were spending on a 512MB or 1GB flash not so long ago. Ordered on Tuesday afternoon and was using it on Thursday morning ***Well Done DABS!!*** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Upgraded after years of flawless performance from 2GB voyager. Continuous problems with 'delayed write failed' and am now going to replace.

Mine broke too!

I forgot that had it plugged into a USB port on my laptop. I turned the laptop on its side and the jack snapped on the drive. It's still attached and the drive works - but for how long?

Plugged it in, got very hot and died. Dabs credited on return very promptly. Ten out ten for Dabs.
