Reviewer: kiLLeR sQu on Jan 07, 2009 Is an idiot, do don't read that review. Nice SISKEL and EBERT reference, Siskel's not even alive any more. Jeez. Any flash drive should be the same exact speed as the next, it just depends on the speed of the user's brain. In this case, can't say much about Killer Squ.

I bought 3 of these for my staff. They absolutely love it, and everyone else wants one. I love the rugged, sturdy construction. It was a worthy buy.

Bon produit, très très solide et bonne capacité. En plus la garantie est très bien. Pour le prix c'est un bon achat (les défauts étant superflus).

Best flash drive I've ever owned! I took it from VA to CA on a bicycle trip and I didn't treat it very nice but not intentionally. Neither did the elements. It kept ALL of my photos and videos safe and sound. And, it's great for school too.

Great for tradesmen, transfers are slow, the price is high, but in general is a good product. Maritza http://www.mileniumcomputers.com

I too am leary about mail in rebates so I'm waiting until that programme expires, and the price comes down a notch, before I upgrade to the 32GB high speed version.

Great drive. Had it on the boat to listen to music stored on it. Also used to log Dive info. It went overboard in 60' of water. Recovered the drive and plugged it in and it worked fine. It is a great investment for harsh conditions or daily use. I would buy another one and am holding out for a 64Gig version.

The best word to describe this flash memory is ''slow''. If you have ever enjoyed a relaxing afternoon of watching the grass grow that would be like watching NASCAR racing compared to the speed at which this drive operates. Corsair must have relied on some ancient Egyptian design to build it. The small blue led is a nice touch though. Because without it you would be wondering for the next 10-15 minutes if it is actually doing anything at all. I use a number of portable apps & purchased this drive to run them & take my data with me, bad mistake. Once I start an app running I have time to go make coffee, file my taxes, & walk the dog before it actually boots. At least the case is well built. If your wearing it & happen to live in a bad neighborhood it may stop a bullet or knife attack. Cisco & Eabert give it two thumbs down.

Pros: *Looks cool, of course :) *Space is probably the obvious plus to this. *The construction is very strong and durable. *This drive comes with a dog tag necklace which serves as a nice way to attach the drive to your key chain once you remove the necklace part. *10 year warrenty Cons *Speed is of an average USB 2.0 drive, not excellent. *A little big Final thoughts: I'd make the purchase again with what I know. I'd love to see someone put this in a pressure cooker maybe at 2 atm (28 psia) and see how well this drive fares.

Nice amount of drive space, very strong outercasing. Transfers are a little slow though I think all usb flash drives will be similarly slow.

Love this usb flash drive. Pretty solid, with it's protective external shell and at the current price, with MIR, it's a steal. The USB performs pretty well and very fast. As always, I always try to avoid products with MIRs, so I'm still waiting for my MIR!!!

A little high of a price. But well put together and tough. Great for tradesmen.

This thumb drive is awesome and very fast. I would put a 5 at value but for $200 I need to see how long it last before it gets a 5. I am currently deployed to Iraq and use this thing daily. I keep it around my neck with the provided chain and it gets all kinds of abuse. If you have a job where everything is always covered with dust or getting wet then this thumb drive is worth the money.
