CORSAIR Flash Voyager 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive

Comment:
This is the first large volume flash drive i have purchased. It does what i wanted! Stores movies and data. I have always liked Corsair memory in my computers and this works well. I wish Corsair would just lower their prices and stop fooling with rebates. But don't we all love the rebate process? This is a good product!

What can I say? Plug in this drive and you're set!! Tons of room for lots of file transfers. Excellent price and value!! Get one of these. You won't be disappointed.

Best flash (usb) drive I've ever had. Always works, even on older systems, and plenty big enough to help me back up all my stuff and my customers' stuff.

Excellent service and the best price of anyone for this particular flash drive. I have seen it priced at twice what I paid for it. Shipping was unbelievably fast as I got it the next day. The flash drive is recognized by every computer I have used it on, laptops, workstations, servers, without any issues. The capacity makes it easy for me to keep all of my work software and files on it for ready access. I highly recommend it to anyone needing a large capacity flash drive.

I don't have to use it to often but it has been great compared to my cheap PNY from walmart. I am going to buy a couple more of them.

My first Foash Voyager (4 Gigs) died after 2 years, which was a bit disappointing. But these things wiull happen and I had been satisfied enough with its performance to replace it with the same manufacturer's 16 Gig model. So far it's gfreat. Notjhoing fancy. Just lots of storage space with fast transfer times. Comes with a winde blue neck ribbon-lanyad that always lete me know where the unit is amongst the clutter on my desk. The long warranty was a c0omforting factor.

My Usb Flash drive works well, is sturdy, and has a rugged design which suits me cause I tend to drop drives like that every once in while. I didn't expect 16GB on the dot. You don't get exact amount on any device in the GB because a GB=1024bytes not a 1000bytes. Very satisfy with the purchase an recommend by.

Love the Corsiar jump drives, great quality.

This USB flash drive holds more data than some of my hard drives. I works fast on a USB 2.0 port and works somewhat slower on a USB 1.0 port but still functions normally. That's great when transferring from a desktop to a laptop or other pc that only has USB 1. The case is soft so it won't break the case if dropped. Convienient, lightwieght, stores tons of files. I couldn't ask for a better storage device. I wish I would have bought two at this price.

Comment:
It is not 16 gigs, but 15. That is typical of most storage divices on the market. However, the product does exactly what I want it to do. It is visually appealing and completely fuctional without problems.

This is a real quality flash drive. It is durable and performs flawlessly. As with any flash drive, it will not hold EXACTELY 16GB. But, for the quality and price, 15+ GB is just fine with me. Plus, it looks great.

This ''little'' item saves a HUGE amount of time for me!

so far so good

The 1 & 2 gigabyte flash drives weren't cutting it for me, so when I saw that this 16g flash drive had such an awesome price with the rebate, I just had to have one. It was so nice to transfer over all of the files from my old computer prior to formatting that hard drive. It is well worth the price.

Comment:
This 16 gb flash drive works really good in computers. This usb flash drive will practically hold any type of information, even movies. This amazing little machine will hold all kinds of movies, even the movies that are deemed inappropriate by mainstream society. So go ahead and buy this product only if you think you can handle it's unstoppable storage capabilities. Only if you are prepared to win.

Comment:
Thumb drives are hardly exciting, so the question is whether it is an effective workhorse. The answer is yes, and it looks good too.

Comment:
I have no problems with this flash drive. I transfer video music and pics with no problem. Great for back up and transfer of files. Seems a bit slow, but i back up large video files. Just start it and do something else while it is working. I does not require you to sit and watch it. So even though it is a bit slower it does a great job so it gets a five on performance because speed isn't everything.

Comment:
Overall im happy with this product. I can't wait for 32GB to drop  in this price range. I have used other cheap flash drives and I have actually had them malfunction on me. I only stick to Corsair. Quality over quantity.

Comment:
Bought this to replace my Corsair 4GB flash drive. It's not faster but it has more space. It's built very solid. 10 years warranty is great.

While it says it will hold 16GB, it is closer to 15GB, it seems. Even so, it is still very nice. I have dropped it in the snow a few times (Michiganian here), and it is still just fine. Sadly, the read/write speeds have been awful, before and after I had dropped it... I also can't put in a file over 4GB in size, unless I reformat it from FAT32 to NTFS... and if I do that, it doesn't detect during installation of an operating system, it seems. As I use a RAID setup, with WD VelociRaptors (300GB 10kRPM each), I need it to detect at boot, for the drivers (I don't have a floppy, don't feel like getting one). Of course, it is a nuisance, changing it from FAT32 to NTFS, and back, based on what its current use is.

Reading speed >20MB/s, but writing speed only ~5MB/s.The real one actually has good looking than the picture shows. small size and the soft rubber body feels reliable. Buy it if on sale under $40.

SLOW performance. Reloaded driver - no help. Set up hardware for performance - slight improvement. Editing photos on drive too slow, must copy to HDD to edit then overwrite on drive. By comparison, the Sony ''Tiny'' 8GB USB flash drive runs much faster. Noted driver is FAT32 HDD not USB. With 12+ GB already on drive, I am not willing to experiment with a different driver. Next time, not Corsair.

I purchased a 4 GB Corsair Flash Voyager in March, and I misplaced it. Thought it was gone for good. Well I purchased a 16GB flash Voyager as a replacement. As I stated with the 4GB, its a good solid design with good file transfer performance. I use it for spreadsheets and PDF files and it works fine. I have had it for over 6 months, and then the 4GB pops up! Gave that one to my brother.

Comment:
I expected more. Transfer speeds are terrible, especially if you're moving a large quantity of small files such as mp3s or pics. Going to its properties and ''optimizing for performance'' helps, just don't forget to safe remove first. Last but not least, the rubber sleeve comes off every time I unplug it. I have to squeeze it pretty hard to keep it from coming apart every time. I'm about to RMA it, but I need it now, not in a month. Going back to my old 8gb Cruzer.

I have has 2 of these so far, and both suffered the same fate, I am a student so i am constantly moving them from machine to machine. The problem with the design is the end that goes into the usb port is very flimsy, mine after about a month got weak i could see it moving side to side, then it broke off all together in a computer at school. I mean the metal shield broke off completely. I am still waiting for my latest one back from RMA which was about 3 months now. I personally wouldn't touch any corsair USB drive with a 10 foot pole. I have now switched to Kingston ones. Much more reliable and faster. Not to mention i can get warranty right at the college now.
