My best USB ever
(5 out of 5) by M. F. Webb on Sep 24, 2009 (Lincoln UK)I bought this 32gb stick in July (but not from Amazon, so can't comment on their service for this particular item).
It is by far the best USB stick I have -- I have 10 in total, bought over the last few years, ranging from 128mb to 8gb. I use it every day to back up selected folders from my PC and every week or so to back up my entire data folder which is 10gb. This takes about 45 minutes to back up -- fairly slow but not a problem as I just set the backup running and go and do something else.
I can't comment on its ruggedness as it hasn't been tested, but it sits in my pocket all day beside my keys and has suffered no damage -- even the case isn't scuffed yet. Now I have one, I can well believe all the hype that it is waterproof, shockproof, etc.
I found the rubber rings on mine were loose when I bought it but this was cured by rolling the rings back and supergluing them to the case.
I would highly recommend this 32gb drive to anyone and I shall shortly be buying another for my wife.
I was tempted to only score it 4/5 because of the slowness, but decided to give it the full 5/5 because it is ideal for me and works perfectly for what I want.

Corsair Survivor
(4 out of 5) by M. Shirvington on May 2, 2009Wanted a robust mem stick to carry on my key ring (last 2 plastic ones broke. Does the job with no complaint and means I can carry everywhere, you never know when you'll need it.

Very good but..
(4 out of 5) by - alikat - on Mar 20, 2009 (Brighton, UK)Very durable and resilient, but I managed to break mine out of carelessness so they are not indestructible. I leant my PC forward to unplug the power and forgot the Corsair was still in the bottom front USB slot.. I ended up with a L-shaped key, so that was the end of that with not very much difficulty.. My own fault obviously. Still annoying. Other than that the product is very good, and when in the case I'm sure you could drive a tank over it.

Quick note
(5 out of 5) by Lockers on Feb 4, 2009 (England)The drive is a useful addition for those needing to transport files with a degree of security. Recommended by the person I gave it to.

DO NOT BUY FROM AMAZON!!!!
(1 out of 5) by Mr. M. Skucha on Jan 26, 2009 (UK)Corsair Survivor 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive
I ordered a 16 GB Survivor that took a month to arrive!!!! Already angry, but though i'd wait save refunds etc. Now really really angry as they sent me an 8 GB version badged as a 16gb!!! The customer service is also very poor and is very difficult to get a simple number to contact a human!! I presume this review will be pulled as amazon will want you to see what they want!! This is the worst internet purchase / experience i have had to date.
