Cons: - getting cap back on requires putting pressure on the lid, but hardly a con as its water tight.
Pros: - STURDY construction, solid aluminum body, I could probably run over this with my car.- Fast to read and write to. Comment:
I got this to backup important data, it currently sits inside a fire/water proof safe (yo dawg I heard you like fire/proof water proof data storage so...). This replaced an OCZ ATV flash drive which was VERY slow, so far I love the controller on this. I get read speeds of 60-80 MB/s and wrote of about 30 MB/s all over USB3. Over USB 2 it is also very fast, reading at about 30 MB/s and writing at about 20 MB/s. |

Cons: Big
Pros: Cheap, Durable Comment:
I actually thought that it be somewhat smaller than what it is. The screw out design is questionable as it takes a couple of seconds to unscrew the lid to get access to the USB port. It is not as fast as I thought. Only ~20Mb/s writes. But overall, for the price, definitely beats any USB 2.0 drives out there. |

Cons: -Take time to unscrew the cap, but not a big deal.-Can't attach the cap anywhere, so it's possible to forget it or lose it when the key is in use.-Can't plug it into my brain.
Pros: -Solid as a rock (smashed it on cement a couple of times and still working perfectly)-Pretty fast, even on USB 2.0 (hasn Comment:
Pretty good usb key so far. It has been just 5 days, but as computer tech, I used it a lot for installing Linux distributions on the fly and it went pretty quick to boot.It doesn't take too much space when plugged in my usb port : I can plug another next to it without problem, as long as it isn't too big or too long (because the top of the key is large). Plugging an usb cable next to it is alright too.Copying 9 GB of data (a huge 4 GB file, medium sized files and a big bunch of tiny files) took less than 8 minutes on USB 2.0, with a FAT32 filesystem on the key and on Linux. Pretty good ! |

Cons: Quite big, won't work so well on keychains into your pocket
Pros: Relatively priced wellWell built - seems quite sturdy Comment:
$20 after MIR...not bad considering normal USB 3.0 drives with the same storage are only $5 less. For $5 more, you're getting a well built flash drive, not to mention the speeds in comparison with the slower drives. |

Cons: Bulky, I didn't get the accessories that comes with it (It's just me)!
Pros: Waterproof, USB3.0, pretty durable. Comment:
Okay USB3.0 speed. Much cheaper than LaCie's and with USB3.0. casing can be easily scratched, but it is waterproof. With some rubber protection around the case, at least it's shock absorbent. Just realized that it came with a dog tag and USB extension cable. But I got neither of them. USB extension cable is a great idea from Corsair, because not all cases do have USB3.0 in the front panel. 10 years warranty is also good! |
Had a USB2 version of this, which I lost, so this is a sweet replacement - USB3 will give it some serious lasting power. Now I have to manage to hold on to it - and the cap, without which it's just another flash drive.
