 Not at all durable July 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Within 6 months the end that doesn't screw off came apart. It seems that it is basically just glued on. Also, the rubber grips on both ends came off within just a few weeks.
 Nearly perfect - but watch the rubber rings May 27, 2008

Pros:
+ Rugged
+ Great capacity
+ Fast enough for normal usage
Cons:
- The outside rubber rings
- Minor quality issues with the labels
I bought the unit around Christmas 2007 to replace an old plastic 1GB unit that failed. I carried a flash drive im my pocket so that I always have access to my data, but the old one just wasn't rugged enough to co-mingle with coins and keys.
I purchased this unit specifically because of it's claims to be rugged. In that regard I have not been disappointed. The rubber o-ring on the inside should provide good protection from moisture, but I haven't tried to see if it will float.
I carry the Corsair Flash Survivor on my keyring, which is usually in my pocket. The outside of the aluminum case is showing a little wear from the keys, as I would expect, but drive itself is protected.
I have two issues with the flash drive. First, one of the labels on the drive was not correctly applied in the factory and had to be removed the first week I had it to prevent it from sticking to other items. This alone wouldn't have been enough to lower the rating if it wasn't for the second problem.
The quality and design of the rubber rings on the outside is an issue if you intend to carry this around like I do. Both of them are loose, and the one attached to the flash drive itself spins freely. It has even come detached a few times in my pocket, but so far I haven't lost it.
Overall, this a great product. And if you don't plan to carry it everywhere, you might not experience this issue.
Great except it is almost too big for my laptop May 1, 2008

This flash drive is very durable, plenty of storage space, and it is not that much more expensive than the voyager series. The main complaint I have is that since the case is a cylinder to provide strength it makes it hard to plug into my laptop. There is not really enough clearance to get it into the USB port when it is setting on a desk :( I end up using the USB extension that came with it most of the time.
 Great Flash drive March 4, 2008

 Tough, but connectivity issues surfaced December 2, 2007

No doubt, the case is as tough as available, and few alternatives offer the storage of 16GB - two features which may be enough for most. But, the first unit I had died on day two (Corsair replaced no questions asked), and the replacement unit I received has had intermittent connectivity issues with my USB ports. Sometimes you plug it in and the device is recognized, and sometimes you have to reset the computer or dive into Device Manager.
Transfer speed has varied between 1.5 - 2.0 MB per second.
