Corsair 4GB Flash Voyager USB 2.0 Flash Drive - CMFUSB2.0-4GB

I do a lot of computer work 4 a living, & used 2 have 2 use a USB hard drive a lot. No more. The huge capacity of this little wonder is a big help. I will say it is not as fast as my 8 gig unit, but it is pretty fast, & the size makes up 4 a lot.

It is also rubber armored, & the cap stays on really well. It even comes with a nice, wide strap.

Product works well - having so much space is awesome. It holds all of my pictures plus all of my documents. The only issue I had was when I tried 2 store my movies, they didn't copy quite right. I discovered that I had 2 reformat the jump drive. After I did that, no problem at all.

I find the Corsair Corsair 16GB Flash Voyager USB 2.0 Flash Drive - CMFUSB2.0-16GBUSB 2.0 Flash Drive - CMFUSB2.0-16GB (Purchased 10/16/2008) very useful & light weight poratable backup. Wish it was a little faster. Also could be slimmer with bright colors & cover that doesn't fall so easily.KeyScan KS810 Color Document Scanner integrated in a PC Keyboard - Black

Well well what da ya know. I hate 2 do this because I love 2 give props when they're due & give 5 stars 2 everything I ever got from amazon because most of it works great. But this device here..This $#!T should be taken off amazon. I kid you not, no more than 5 weeks of owning this crap I encountered problems. You never know what kind of stunt its going 2 pull. It's a blessing if the computer recognizes it & you're actually able 2 transfer a file but more often, it makes the sound that windows makes when it recognizes that a new device has been inserted & within the same second it is "pulled out" & makes that sound that says a device has been removed. Other times it says USB device not recognized. This also happened 2 my sandisk 8gb but my 2gb sandisk worked fine 4 a year! I'm thinking its the bigger flash drives in general. HEAR MY CRY! DO NOT SUPPORT THESE PEOPLE!!!!

Things I liked about this drive:
- capacity
- speed
- nifty blue light that blinks when data was transferring

Didn't like:
- The rubberized cap sometimes grips other things like denim more than it grips the smooth metal of the USB connector, so it would come off when I was taking it out of my pocket. I ended up switching it 4 a non-rubberized cap from another defunct USB.
- It's just as vulnerable as any other USB drive in terms of getting bent/broken where the USB connector meets the body of the drive, & I guess I sat on it & bent it, & it ceased 2 work.

Currently I'm looking at getting a Sandisk Cruzer with a metal body & retractable USB connector, & I don't foresee having this problem again.
