Rugged and dependable
(5 out of 5) by Leutchik on Sep 25, 2006 (Los Angeles, CA United States)Until you've had a USB drive crash on you and you lose all your data, it's hard to appreciate having one which does NOT crash or have data errors. I've had the 4gig Corsair six months now and it has never given me any trouble. The access is quite fast, especially compared to earlier USB drives. I really like this thing and I use it all the time. 4gb is large enough to contain all the files you simply don't want to be without, no matter where you are. I "never leave home without it", since it's on my keychain.
My only gripe is the agony involved in actually GETTING the $30 rebate that accompanied my purchase of this thing at Fry's Electronics in Woodland Hills, CA. It took me five months and eight phone calls and two faxes to pry loose the $30. Actually I guess Corsair subs this stuff out to fullfillment houses, so I guess it's not actually Corsair's fault. But then, I guess you guys are already aware of the struggle you're in for when it comes to playing the rebate game, though, eh? :-)

Not a quality product
(1 out of 5) by ddf on Feb 26, 2008 (Chicago, IL)I have had this since end of November 2007. It's Feb 2008 and the thing won't work anymore. I have to "bend" the end to make it connect. Seems like it has a short in it. I believe it is caused by being enclosed in a rubber sleeve instead of a hard plastic sleeve that is covered by rubber. The internals just don't seem to be well protected.
Amazon return policy was up at the end of January so I'm stuck with this junk.

DO NO BUY!!!
(1 out of 5) by akopyt on Jan 28, 2008 (Milwaukee, WI)I bought this so that I could take my school work to and from home. I had it for 4 months and it is now officially dead and I've lost whatever I did not have backed up. I thought that it looked pretty durable, but that is not the case! I would not recommend this product unless you want to take the chance of possibly losing your files.

Fast but unreliable
(1 out of 5) by Mac User on May 25, 2007 (Boulder, CO)I like the capacity and the write speed. It worked fine on a Mac G4 desktop but failed
repeatedly on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS 10.4.9 during an overseas trip.
The worst error diagnostic was "cannot unmount drive" - which meant device
had to be initialized & reformatted, losing all data. This typically happened
upon trying to save updated files; apparently rewrite destroys the
internal file structure. All in all, a $100 waste.

Safety for Travellers
(5 out of 5) by Mr. Simon F. ORAM on Feb 21, 2008I am a global traveller and as always I back everything up. I recently purchased this device with a massive 32G memory and encryption software. This is a second backup to a seperate hard drive.
A whole weeks training class, power points and documents where carried on this in my pocket through numerous airports, security searches and road trips. Very robust, water tight and easy to use.
Thankfully I didnt need to rely on this but it was always there...
