This drive was recommended to me by a colleague. I have been using it for a few months for data storage. The drive is as fast as any of the other drives that I have used. It has been reliable so far. Having 16GB in my disposal is luxurious; I can put all my data in one drive without having to worry about space. I have no complaint about this drive at all.

The USB stick is excellent, great capacity, fast transfer rates but it died completely after about 6 weeks and is no longer recognised by any machine as a valid USB device. I'd think very carefully before buying one and check if Corsair have a fix!!!!

I had this memory stick for about four months before it started playing up. I bought it on the basis of the good reviews it had based on its ability to withstand rough treatment as I would be using it regularly.

It was kept on link on my keys in my bag, and didn't get any harsh treatment such as being trod on, washed etc. This didn't stop it from breaking- with all my work on it! First of all it would only work if I held it in the USB slot at a certain angle. This carried on for about two weeks until one day no angle would suffice. RUBBISH.

I copied my photos onto it and by mistake I left it in my shirt pocket which went into the wash. My wife found it in the washing machine while taking the clothes out to hang on the line and when she told me that I thought I have lost all the data I had on it as it was washed at 40 degrees but to amazement when I plugged in all the data was there and nothing was lost. I fully recommend this flash drive!

It was good value and has easily swallowed up a very long and complex set of data , this allows the data to be presented easily from any screen, rather than having to carry a laptop around-perfect for the educational purpose it was bought for.
