Flawless but slow performance........2007-12-21
The 8GB works without a hitch, but, I'm disappointed that it took nearly 15 minutes to transfer a 3GB file from my computer to the Voyager (about 3.3MB/sec).
Works fine, great casing........2007-12-19
This drive does what it's supposed to do, just fine. What I especially love about it is its casing, which is a thick bodysuit-like material which makes it seem sturdier than other flash drives I've had. It feels safe to carry it in my bag without special protection. It also comes with a long cord.
I love this thing!.......2007-12-13
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!
great device.......2007-12-12
I bought this to move really large files between my office and home computer. It works just great!
Worthless Junk.......2007-11-16
I bought one of these drives two months ago and was hugely impressed by its storage capacity, speed, and rugged design. I would have given it five stars, and that seems to be why everyone does give it five stars or close to that. But today the drive crashed, and I lost completely a document on which I had been working all week. Who cares about how much data it can store and how quickly it loads? Who cares about the rugged rubber case or the lanyard? It lost my data in one split second, wiped out all my hard work, and that makes this less than useless. I would have been better off writing with a pencil on a pad of paper. So, if you want to play russian roulette with your data and end up losing it, by all means go ahead and pay ninety bucks for the privilege. Me? I'm going back to backing up data on DVDs. They might not be quite so portable, but I have yet to have a DVD wipe my data clean.

Speed tested (7.5Mb/s write, 24Mb/s read), actual filesize capacity 14.99Gb.......2007-12-25
Apple Macbook Pro
The Macbook reports 14.99Gb of (actualy, useable) free space.
Copied 14.41Gb of data from the harddisk to the usb drive, while the Macbook was doing nothing else. The data was made up of mostly about video (about 30 files), with half a dozen small text files.
It took 33 minutes to write the data, which equals 0.44Gb/minute or 7.5Mb/second write speed.
It took about 10 minutes to copy the data back from the USB pen drive to the harddisk, which equals 1.44Gb/minute or 24Mb/second read speed.
The dimensions mentioned on Amazon are for the packaging not the actual pen drive.
The drive is the typical size for a usb pen drive. About 1.5 inches long, half and inch wide and quarter of an inch deep. Sizes are just guestimates, I did't use a ruler.
The rubber casing has a nice tactile feel to it. My only minor complaint, which almost every pen drive suffers from, is that although the (rubber) cap fits snug and securely onto the usb plug, I'm still not convinced it wouldn't wobble off when the drive is in my pocket. Ideally, I'd like the cap to screw on, but hey ho. It doesn't look like it is *likely* to come off.
awesome.......2007-12-01
Awesome product, well worth the money, more room than youll ever need (as far as flash drives go). pricey, however if you dont have the means, then corsair makes lower cost flash drives for different ranges. very sturdy, and fun to bounce on the table.
Seems fine so far.......2007-11-28
I've had this flash drive for 2 weeks and haven't had any trouble. It's easy to use. Just drag & drop. Some reviewers say it's slow, but I loaded 11 Gigabytes on to it in about half an hour, which isn't bad, especially for the price. We'll see if they send my $15.oo rebate.
Excellent, Capacious and Very Fast.......2007-11-09
I purchased this drive from Amazon recently and tested it under both Mac OS X Tiger and Windows ME. In both cases, I saw excellent read speed but slow, slow write speed (1 MB/s to 1.4 MB/s, an order of magnitude lower than advertized). I was very disappointed at the poor performance to say the least.
Before returning the drive, I decided to test it under Windows XP. Wow, what a difference. The same drive, under Windows XP, is a speed demon. I am now satisfied that the drive behaves much more closely to it's advertized specs. For read speed, I am seeing something in the area of 30 MB/s, which is excellent. For write speed I am seeing roughly 7 MB/s. This is a little slower than advertized, but nonetheless, an excellent speed.
So, this is a great memory stick as long as you are using it under Windows XP (don't have Vista so can't comment, but I expect that performance under Vista would be similar). For earlier versions of Windows (9x and ME) though, be forewarned. Write performance is not good. Similarly, for Mac OS X Tiger be forewarned. BTW, for Mac OS X, I did try formatting the stick for HFS+ (the native Mac OS X format), but it made only a marginal difference.
Corsair 16GB Flash Voyager.......2007-11-02
Holds a lot of data. True plug and play - it was recognized immediately and assigned a drive letter automatically by XP SP2 pc's both at work and at home. Fast read and writes makes it easy to transport large files and presentations. The entire case is construced of rubber so I would not handle it roughly but under normal use it should be fine. I gave it four stars instead of five because I think it should have a little more of a solid feel for the price. It does bounce and even though I've dropped mine a few times and have gotten it wet it still works just as well as it did the day I got it. It also comes with a ten year warranty.

great product.......2007-11-13
This a great product, very fast and easy to setup encrypted partition, but ... it is very delicate.
Great Buy.......2007-10-22
I like it because it has a rubber outside and water proof it ws a great buy and I might buy another one
broke within 2 weeks.......2007-10-16
It lasted two weeks. The rubber housing opened a little when squeezed near the usb plug and along its width (blue thing to blue thing). A little dirt or moisture got in. The computer no longer recognized what kind of USB device was being plugged in. I tested other USB devices, including a different flash memory, and they all worked fine.
I cut the rubberized covering off and blew the circuit board clean. The computer then recognized that the device is (was) a usb flash memory. I promptly backed up my data. I'm back to my 2Gb sandisk that has lasted about 2 years.
FAST and rugged.......2007-09-24
This is one of the fastest flash drives available on the market. It does depend on whether or not your computer has a USB 2.0 port, of course, but if it does then no problem. Quick to install on any machine (also MACs) and needs no drivers, even if a mini-CD is supplied.
The best feature has to be the rubber encasing. I had the 512Mb version for six months before losing it. I tend to keep USB drives in my pocket, so inevitably they end up in the washing machine sometimes. The Voyager took at least FIVE trips through both washer and dryer, and it kept working flawlessly nonetheless. And this was without the cap! (which, I can guarantee you, you'll lose within a week).
So overall a performing, durable, and relatively cheap purchase.
Expensive, not fast at all..........2007-09-10
I regret buying that USB stick, not fast at all and expensive compared to other flash drives. Also cap is loose and very easy to loose it.

DONT buy this flash drive, after 1 month it just died........2007-12-14
Don't buy this flash drive, after 1 month it just died on me. It will not activate on any computer, no light on the drive, no indication on the computer that a USB device was plugged in. It's simply dead weight. a real shame since i had all my passwords installed on there using roboform, and all the utilities i use to fix other peoples computer. Any ideas to recover files would be helpful... but be forewarned.
Great Flash Drive.......2007-11-20
This Flash Drive is excellent. I have had it for 3 months now and it is one of my best flash drives. It performs great and is just as good as my Sandisk Titanium. I like the rubber body's feel and durability. It came with a broad neck strap which I do not use, a extension cable for the usb, and a mini cd with TrueCrypt on it. Overall if you can get this at a reasonable price you can not go wrong.
Excellent flash drive.......2007-10-29
This flash drive works very well. I am able to get 7-8 MB/s write and 12-13 MB/s read times. If you really want to have a fast drive, then go for one of the corsair 'red wing' drives, but they cost twice as much. The rubber on the outside gives it a secure feel. Just don't lose the cap!
It is smaller than it looks in the picture. I would not recommend keeping it on your keychain, as the hole in it is just through the rubber and seems like it would break if attached to a keychain. Also, it will pick up lint easily if kept in your pocket.
excellent flash drive.......2007-08-06
I bought this flash drive, because i needed some place to store my music. I know, a lot of people have 20, 40, or 80 gig ipods. I don't need that much or want that much. My stereo has a USB input and so I thought that i could use this device to store all my music "in" my stereo. I only filled it up halfway with music, but it works extremely well. Corsair made this Flash Drive to be durable as well, and that fits my standards very well, 'cause I'm always runnin' around and my keychain is constantly bouncing around. Transporting the drive on my keychain works just fine.
In short, love it 'cause it's got a lot of space, really affordable, and it's extremely durable.
Great memory! Encryption not so hot........2007-05-13
The storage has been great; I haven't tried using the robber eyehole for a strap because I read in the reviews that it tends to break, and I have tried to use the 'free' encryption and found it difficult to use, ultimately I ended up with one megabyte encrypted that I can't use. Meh.
I haven't yet lost the lid, though it is easy to lose.
I highly recommend the product, and also recommend using some other encryption software if you want to encrypt files. PGP, for example, is pretty user friendly.

rippin' fast memory for my quad core..........2007-11-29
Used in my high end DIY build along with a Q6600 and (2) 8800GTXs. Only concern was that the 680i mobo did not say that this memory was SLI ready. Other than that...everything about the memory was great for OC-ing and performance.
DDR2 Memory prices continue to fall-DDR3 makes it so!.......2007-11-17
When I initially built my computer I used Corairs 2GB PC6400 800MHz RAM. While it worked well it wouldn't overclock good at all on my EVGA 680i board and even with loosening the timings and overvolting I couldnt get the 800mhz up to 1066 with the XMS2. Being that my Q6600 processor is rated with a 1066mhz FSB and the XMS2 memory is only 800mhz I decided to upgrade to the Dominator memory. By doing this you are getting factory overclocked ram which now matches my processor which has a 1066mhz FSB. If you use RAM with a FSB rating of 800mhz and your processor has a FSB rating of 1066Mhz you are creating a bottleneck. It's good to try and keep your CPU FSB and memory FSB as close to a 1:1 ratio as possible.
While the XMS2 PC6400 is good, the Dominator PC8500 is much better. Not only are they cherry picked for best performance, their built much better and also include a nice heat spreader. Being that RAM is one of the most important components in your system to keep your programs running fast you don't want to skimp here. Once you go past PC8500 ram it starts getting VERY expensive. This speed is a great balance between price, performance, and value for a higher end computer.
As I said this ram comes factory overclocked to 1066mhz with decent timings at 5-5-5-15. At these settings they should run at 2.1 volts. You can of course try and overclock these even higher or at the least run them with tighter timings. The sticks are very flexible and overclocker friendly. Even at stock settings they are very good as well.
I have to say I love the release of DDR3 ram only because it's driving down the price of this fine quality DDR2 ram! Do yourself a favor and stay away from the way overpriced DDR3 and get this. The performance increase is nil and the price is beyond reasonable. Why even bother when you can get just as good performance in DDR2 for half the price? These sticks are a steal and for the price you would be hard pressed to find a better performer. Get em while their cheap folks! :)
Edit-I just want to add that there are two versions of this same model memory. Version 1.x is Micron memory which is said to overclock better and needs to be set a 2.2 volts. The other version is 2.x and is made by Qimonda. I happen to have the Micron chips. You can tell this by looking at the sticker on your sticks. This is important to know. I made the mistake of initially volting my RAM at 2.1 and got random reboots. I didn't bother looking at the sticker to see what I had. Turns out I lucked out and got the rare Micron chip. Once I set the voltage to 2.2V I had no problems whatsoever. Just wanted to add this information and maybe save you the frustration I went through. :)
The Best Memory !!!.......2007-10-21
This is the best , buy this ram and be fast in the games !!!
Good and stable memories.......2007-07-30
I have also a twin memory modules of this memory but PC6400 and they work just sweet. Fair enough for gaming. Looks good on its heat sink but what is important is the performance. This memory rules.

Superb product. Professionally designed to excel. Packing and forwarding was very good. Got the item in perfect working condition.
I am satisfied and I will defenitely refer tomy friends.. !! Cheers.. keep up the good show!!
Good/ cheaper alternative to water cooled RAM........2007-09-24
Does what it is supposed to, only problem I have is after about 3 days one of the fans developed a hum when turned up. Kind of an expensive set to be humming already... Coulda rigged a 120mm in the case blowing at the RAM for less and would have been much quieter. I give it a 4 just because I think for the price it should have been much longer b4 it developed any noise.
Genial.......2007-08-05
Excelente producto. Saca todo el calor de las memorias. Permite hacerle overclock a las memorias sin riesgos de calentamiento.

Pretty Good Product.......2007-11-15
This memory upgrade is just what I needed to delay a little bit a new computer purchase. I usually run several programs at the same time, my task bar usually ends up with two levels showing applications.
Before the upgrade my Inspiron 6000 usually crashed when running Adobe Premiere and Photoshop at the same time, and it had 1GB; now it does it without a problem, and I can even play music in iTunes while doing so.
The truth is that the computer is not really that much faster, probably the Centrino 1.73 GHz CPU can't do any better. The real gain is stability, because I can run several programs at the same time without worrying about possible crashes. One thing that did improve was MP3 encoding, it took at least 30% less time to rip a few CDs from my collection, and put them in iTunes, pretty nice.
Now, running Ubuntu Linux, (I have both OSs in my laptop), the story is quite different. I really do not understand how Linux handles memory, but it does it much better than Windows. The OS fires up in seconds, and all apps pop up much faster. I when displaying icons in the accompanying Ubuntu menus, I used to have to wait a second or so to get the the icons displayed, now they pop up instantly. Apps in Linux did truly improve after the RAM upgrade. If it weren't for MS Office, by far the best office suite, I'd move to whatever may be different from Windows.
On the technical side, the memory was instantly recognized by the system's BIOS, it does not heat up any more than what the old samsung memory modules did. The BIOS does not allow to check latencies, but I guess they're just fine since the system works perfectly.
Great value and performance that meet my system's requirements. When I make the move to an Apple iMac, I guess I'll upgrade memory using Corsair, can't understand why they charge $ 850, for the 4GB when well known memory manufacturers, sell it for $ 200 or less. If anybody knows, I'd appreciate the input.
Good price, works well.......2007-07-28
I am very satisfied with this product. It shipped quickly and arrived in good condition.
I replaced the existing memory in my computer without a hitch and it has performed flawlessly ever since.
I am using it with a Dell Inspiron 6000 and all of my applications have sped up considerably, especially games like Civilization. I replaced 2 256MB chips.
Excellent product at excellent price.......2007-05-16
The product works perfectly, and the product arrived earlier than expected. I would definetely buy from these people again.
price performance is very good........2006-11-06
I bought two to upgrade my laptops memory from 512 to 2048. From now on, memory is not my bottleneck. Its performance is good, due to amount of memory of the windows xp, swap operations are minimized thus my overall system performance is effected dramatically. At least best buy for me. Good and quality assured upgrade option...
