The producto is awesome!!! All this space at a very reasonable size of flash drive. The rubber cover protects from almost any human accident.

The only problem (Corsair isn't accountable) is the limit of file size you can write into flash driver (2GB). However, this is a FAT32 filesystem limit, not a Flash drive itself limitation.

An option is to convert the filesystem to NTFS but, if you do that, you won't be able to use this flash drive with Mac or Linux. I think this will be a limitation of this kind of huge flash drives for a long time.

I had been getting larger USB flash drives as the performance-to-price was reasonable. I went to a competing 4G unit, which I had had success with their earlier versions, but it was truly a dog. Twice as slow on large files and more than ten times as slow with a bunch of smaller files (e.g., 3 minute transfer ended up taking more than 30 minutes).

So, I looked around. This one (the GT version, which supposedly is faster) had good reviews and a good price. I couldn't find it locally, so had to get it online. So far, this one is faster than the good competing units and, of course, much much faster than that dog I had earlier.

Yes, mine is tight when two sticks are next to each other. Had to use the extension in those cases. But, usually by itself, it fits snugly.

I like the fact that it is rubberized. Makes it less damage prone. The cap works well, but I haven't had it very long. The only problem is that it does pick up dust, lint, and tissue residue fairly easily. No big deal there, though.

Definitely recommended. Since I'm already over 5G of the 8G, already eyeing the 16G version.

Fastest read and write speeds I've had on a USB drive. This is especially important because of the size of the files that this thing can hold. It's got an amazing amount of memory - I don't think I will need another USB for the foreseeable future. It is also constructed very durably. The only very slight downside is it's convex shape that may cause difficulty stacking multiple USB ports.

I'd give this thing 5 stars, except for the fact that I can't seem to get the darn thing out of my pocket. It's rubber shell, while very protective and fun to bounce up and down on the desk, makes it very "sticky" on the inside of my pocket. I like to keep my usb drive in my fifth pocket on my jeans, you know, the small pocket that's just above the regular pocket? Anyway... The rubbery texture makes it hard to get out. Other than that, this is a great unit. The upload speed is definitely noticably slower that the download speed. But once you get all your stuff on there, it comes off pretty quickly.

This is my first thumb drive, and now that I experienced one I cant believe it took me this long to purchase one! I originally was going to get the GT version but I couldn't justify paying almost double the price to have my files transfered a few seconds quicker.

I currently use Vista with 2GB's of 1066mhz memory so have no intentions on using this for Vistas ReadyBoost feature. I do however love the 8GB size on this drive, and the write speeds are great. I don't know if this is a Vista or Fat32 issue but I read reports of this drive getting 15MB/s+ write speeds. When I transfer 700mb files to the drive I only average 5-7Mb/s. I think if you format the drive as NTFS it may increase the write speeds by a good deal but I chose not to for reasons listed below.

You can choose to format this drive in either Fat,Fat32,or NTFS. Originally I intended to do the NTFS route for the added features like quicker read/write speeds and the ability to transfer files over 4GB in one shot. The only reason I didn't was because I don't think my DVD player will recognize an NTFS format. Also when you format this drive you can choose the option to "optimize for performance" opposed to "optimize for quick removal". This is great, but just remember to use the "Safely Remove hardware" icon in your system tray to avoid losing any data.

For movie watching this thing is just fantastic. It literally pays itself off in savings from not having to buy so many blank DVD-R's. This drive is great for disposable movies you only watch once then can erase. If you like the movie than you have the option of burning it.

This drive has also served me well when it comes to computer files as well. I've used it numerous times already to flash my BIOS, make a bootable copy of certain programs, and to transfer files to another computer. Its just an all around great device to have. Now that prices are so low on these things I cant think of a single reaon not to pick one up. I also use Corsair desktop memory (Dominator sticks) and can say from previous experiance that they are a great company. Their warranty is great and they even provide a fantastic website that is extremely helpful in answering questions about their products.

This stick will come preloaded with a program that allows you to encrypt your files. This is great for any personal data but I chose to remove it since I have no need to hide my files. It also comes with a great USB dongle to make for an easier connection to cramped USB slots on your computer. Being that this drive is fatter than most the dongle comes in handy.

One complaint people seem to have is the fear of losing the cap since its not connected to the device. A little precaution should keep you from misplacing it, but if you do Corsair will send you a new one free of charge. So if your on the fence on buying a thumb drive I say to you this is a great option. For the price to performance ratio this drive can't be beat!
