Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Corsair 8GB Flash Voyager USB 2.0 Flash Drive CMFUSB2.0-8GB
Customer Review: Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this drive from PCuniverse on Amazon and I am generally happy with the service I received and product quality, I have not used it for long time yet but have managed to fill up most of the drive. The speed looks good even over wireless network. I also like the Truecrypt encryption software bundled which is actually freeware; seems to be quite capable an usable with any drive (USB flash or disk drive, look at [...]It seems much better than the software that comes with many flashdrive in terms of capabilities. I am surprised that there is not a lot of competition in the 8GB flash business yet possibly because people don't need it. I had a Corsair 1GB drive from 2 years back and it worked quite well; upgraded to 8GB as my data requirement grew.Customer Review: Useful one
Summary: 4 Stars
As always thank you Amazon.com for great service
I've got this item in time.
Generally speaking it works well, good looking, comfortable to hold and carry, strong
reliable well protected from moisture case.
There are some concerns:
1.It's a bit bulky.
I have two USB ports close to each other. If I plug Corsair in one of those I can't use
second one(no room for another USB connector)
2.To download 7,5 GB file it took about half an hour. You may compare download time
yourself it you have an experience with different flash drives.
3.Corsair memory can't take 8GB file. It is few hundred MB short.
4.4GB Corsair has security lock software. 8 GB one comes without it.
Customer Review: Good price, good capacity
Summary: 4 Stars
I can't find any complaints. I haven't put the speed to any scientific tests, but it seems to to be on par with any other USB2 thumb drive. Not as fast as my USB2 hard drive (which is strange...isn't flash suppose to be really fast?), but good enough. Capacity is great, especially in the age of multi-gig files.
It's nice and padded. I haven't tried to abuse it, besides dropping it on carpet, but I would say it's tough enough for most people's abuse.
If I had to pick one negative, it would be that the grippyness of the housing causes it to pick up a LOT of lint when it's in my pocket. And it tends to grip on the pocket's material, too. So it may feel a bit odd. But really, those aren't big negatives at all.
Customer Review: Acceptable Drive
Summary: 3 Stars
This drive performs well and it has a lot of capacity. I hear it is also water resistant. It's a little thicker than I would like, which means it takes up a lot of space on a key chain. It also has a rubber exterior, which means that it sticks to the key chain instead of sliding around it like a key would. I also think having the key chain hole on the cap makes more sense as I don't like having my keys dangling from the USB port on my computer -this might interfere with its water resistant design though this is a rubber cap that doesn't snap-on quite like the Lexar drives do. It would be a good drive to throw in a backpack or in your pocket. If I was writing a dissertation, I would want something more key chain friendly.Customer Review: Stopped working after 30 days and its replacement within 5 months.
Summary: 1 Stars
Overall I am very disappointed by this USB drive. The first one stopped working within the first 30 days of usage and its replacement - fast and without problems from amazon - stopped working 5 months later. After pluging the USB drive into the computer its light flashes for a few seconds up to several minutes and then after that time it suddenly stops and is not visible on the Computer. This happened on several PCs/Macs and on USB 1.1 and 2.0 ports while cheaper no-name brand flash drives work perfectly. I only can encourage people with a defect drive to use the 10 year limited warranty by corsair: http://www.corsairmemory.com/warranty/default.aspx or by phone: 1-888-222-4346
