Average customer review:Product Description
The Corsair Flash Voyager family of USB drives is rugged, stylish, compact, and reliable, making them ideal for transporting MP3s, digital images, presentations and more. Flash Voyager drives are fully Plug and Play with most operating systems and are backward compatible with USB 1.1. Their durable rubber casing is easy to grip and water resistant.The Flash Voyager product line is both enclosed in the Corsair proprietary all-rubber Flash Voyager housing. Boasting water-resistant properties, these drives allow users to carry more valuable data and applications without compromise. Several reviews of the Flash Voyager products have demonstrated the ruggedness, durability, and reliability of the Flash Voyager family. The Flash Voyager has been shown laundered, baked, frozen, boiled, dropped, and even run over by a SUV in many third party reviews. After all the punishment it receives, the drive continues to work.

Mid-Storage Mini Hard Drive
12 October 2008. This flash drive is handy for files that are greater than 8 GB, but not 30 GB and above. Great for smaller video files, songs and such. I'll find out more about it as I use it more. C. Yopst
Best, most rugged Flash Drive IMHO
This is a stellar product. I rarely give 5 stars but this line of drives is amazing. I have both the 16 and now the 32 and am eyeing the new 64 also. The rugged housing is great for drops. I use it on OSX and its never given ,e any problems. It comes with a nice laniard to keep it around your neck or such also. Only item I would add is I wish the cap were attached somehow. I am always afraid I'll lose the tiny little cap but I never have of course. Great drive.
Looks nice but is HORRIBLY SLOW
I just received the 32 GB flash drive. I was pleased with the overall design (though the cap seems rather loose).
I am currently trying to write 11 GB worth of data to it. I've been at it for 3 hours and it's still not done. Windows Vista gave me estimates that were all over the place - at one point, it said there was 1 day 2 hours left. Actually right now the progress bar is not quite halfway and the estimate is 14 hours left. I knew it wouldn't be lightning fast, but even at the lower end of estimates (4 MB/s writing speed), 11 GB should take no more than 45 minutes.
Bottom line: Buyer Beware! The drive may be huge in terms of storage and indestructible in design, but the slow write speed makes it (the 32 GB model at least) totally impractical. I feel terrible I plunked down $80 on this. I would rather have given it to charity than to have spent it on an electronic gizmo that turned out to be (in my opinion) worthless.
