So far so good.

Compact size, durability and fast to boot, what more can you ask for.

Best part of all for those on a budget is the low price.

Highly recommend it!!!

I bought this because I needed more space and a faster drive.
I also own the Flash Voyager full-size version, 1 GB.

I like the small size, but I dislike how you can't tell which way you should insert the USB stick. Sometimes I insert it one way but only to find out I have to insert it a different way - every computer has a different way or orienting the USB port. I don't think knowing this (or realizing it) ahead of time would prevent me from buying it, but it shows there's an issue with the way USB ports were designed.

As far as speed, I didn't measure it, but it appears to be faster than my original Flash Voyager.

I think another reason I like the Flash Voyager line is that the flash drives seem to be reliable. I haven't had the issues my classmates occasionally have.

Good gigs for the price, this is compact and functions well. No issues with durability.
The USB component is a little awkward, having a bare male component without the usual sheath to guide it in to the computers USB port - infrequently this makes it challenging to insert inti the port.

These thumb drives are so small they are easy to lose. For several weeks, I thought I had lost the second of two I bought. Then, on loading our washing machine, I noticed a little tail sticking out below the agitator. I pulled on it, and it came off, but not before the little Corsair thumb drive stuck its head out.

Imagine my surprise when I tested it and was still able to read all the files on it. I also loaded this comment on it and could read it back to copy into this field.

I don't know how many wash cycles the drive survived, but it was wedged so hard under the agitator that it must have survived at least one cycle. Maybe I won't trust it with my most important files (not before checking write/read for each one!), but it sure seems indestructible.

The only reason for not giving it five stars is the risk of losing such a small thing. Maybe I should have kept it on my key chain.

This drive is great at first, the size of the drive is extremely small, and the rubber casing seems to be quite durable and stretchy. Yet the slider lock on mine wore off after about 4 months. Now i have to hold out the usb plug with my finger when i insert in into the usb port, and the drive's plug slides down if i tilt the drive towards the ground, so it gets damaged more easily. The rubber case also came off of mine, i can peel the drive out of its case with little effort. Not a huge deal, but the drive does wear apart after a few months.

PROS: Impressively Small, Decent size for your money, shock resistant

CONS: Slider wears till it doesnt lock, Case glue eventually wears off, drive can be mistakenly inserted into usb port upside-down.
