Digital camera reviews of Corsair 8GB Flash Voyager USB 2.0 Flash Drive CMFUSB2.0-8GB
Digital camera Review: As advertised
Summary: 5 Stars
Got this in the mail, plugged it in, and it works. It does create a window in WinXP that says I could get faster service if I plugged into a USB 2.0 port...but my computer doesn't have one. I haven't dropped it in anything wet to test the waterproof claim. Of course, I assume that claim is only valid if the rubber cap is over the business end!!Digital camera Review: As described
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this product. It's a heavier than other USB flash drives that are 8GB, but the material this product is made of is very durable. Usually the other USB flash drives are made of a weak plastic material than can be easily broken if you just step on them. I recommend this item.Digital camera Review: As expected
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this product based on reading numerous reviews, it is every bit as reliable and easy to use as review by many others.Digital camera Review: Avoid like the plague
Summary: 1 Stars
Three reasons why I will not touch any Corsair USB memory drive again:
1) As the other reviewer pointed out (4 gig) "The wide, thick rubber gasket surround the USB connector limits how far you can insert the connector into even lightly recessed USB receptacles". I thought it was just mine! There is not enough metal exposed so it means the drive frequently disconnects, loosing valuable data in the process and crashing the PC often.
2) Right from day one, the drive would show up as a USB Hub (I think it uses this to control 4 chips inside instead of a single chip). But this would at least 50% of the time cause any other device to be inserted into the same USB port on removing the memory drive not to be recognized - only a reboot would fix this. I tried this on many laptops/desktops and got the same results.
3) I contacted Corsair who said to ship it back to them even though the local retailer would take it back. Since I was out the country I told them I was uncomfortable posting it internationally (back to them in Fremont, CA) using ordinary post (courier would have been 50% of what I could buy it new for). But they pushed for this without offering to pay for the post so ordinary post it went. They now claim not to have received it and now unlike the other reviewer I do not even have own a $100 paper weight.
I'd like to say a lot of other things, but fear that Amazon will not print it, so lets leave it at the simple facts above. I don't think I have been so disgusted at a company of peripherals as much as Corsair. And for Corsair to validate what I have said is true, my RMA Number: R153005

I've gone through 3 USB Flash Drives, all of them different brands. This one is a pretty good product. 8 gigs for very cheap price is pretty good.
