Corsair Memory 8GB Flash Voyager USB2

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 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.

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

They might bounce,freeze,be able to run over etc...... but in reality they are just hyped up 8GB flash pens that work! as do a lot of others that are cheaper (in other words they are average). I only bought these because of the alleged "package" but be aware I did not get....
Lanyard!
USB cable!
They also do not include the True Crypt security application allowing for a virtual encrypted drive using AES-256 encryption!
(maybe that can be downloaded?)

Altogether a bit of classic misrepresentation.

Quite pricey I feel, also not that good fit in front desktop usb ports - actually bought this and 16gb for my eee to load roms from but they won't fit together in the two usb slots due to thickness

Shortly after I started using this, the inside became loose and I had to be very careful removing from machines. In the end, it broke completely. Very disappointed.

I've had 3 of these now and they don't last very long. The rubber cap soon looses it's ability to stay attached to the top and shortly goes missing. The plug isn't attached to the actual flash board very well and on 2 of mine they've snapped off. On the remaining one, it's become loose and so keeps failing to connect. Yes they have a good read/write speed but for serious users they're not very durable.

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

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?
