Product 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.
USB Connector Falls OffNovember 30, 2008 I bought this particular drive (4 gig version, back when the price was higher) because it appeared to have a solid build and I liked the soft, "easy grip" exterior. The drive worked fine, but after about 6 months of light use and careful handling, the USB connector came loose and fell off. I tried to reseat it, but no go.
Also, I think all such drives ought to have a capless design, or at least have the cap fit the end, like a pen cap does. I've also seen some that are tied to the device. A cap is just too easy to lose. However, I must admit--leaving the cap in a visible location helped me to not forget and leave the drive in my school computer.
As advertisedNovember 30, 2008 Got this in the mail, plugged it in, and it works. It does create a window in WinXP that says I could get faster service if I plugged into a USB 2.0 port...but my computer doesn't have one. I haven't dropped it in anything wet to test the waterproof claim. Of course, I assume that claim is only valid if the rubber cap is over the business end!!
disastrously slowNovember 26, 2008 I bought this thumb drive to transport large log files from a contract job. Unfortunately I have found that the file transfer speed is *REALLY* slow. USB2.0? Flash? I'm getting anywhere from 500KB/s to 2.5 MB/s transfer rates from my computer drive to the Corsair drive. This is on a modern unloaded Macbook Pro. I'm currently looking at 4 hours to transfer 6GB of 100MB files. LOCALLY.
GREAT !!!November 25, 2008 8 GB's.... This is a great product! I literally have no issues what so ever. One of the biggest benefits to this item is that it has a rubber shock absorbent outer layer, which is great for me because I'm constantly using and on occasion dropping my flash drive's, so to me this is a pretty big deal. (:
Great Capacity, fast enoughNovember 23, 2008 I'm a big fan of this product. With the 16 gb capacity, I'm able to put almost anything I need on it. It's much faster than burning a CD, and much more changeable. I wonder if I'll ever have to defrag it!
I have used it for transferring music files, photos, and text files to another computer as well as backing up data. I've dropped it a few time, with no signs that I did, physically or data-wise.
I thought it was a great deal for the capacity. I'm sure the price will go down significantly soon, but I needed this size NOW.
