 5 weeks.. November 16, 2008
Well well what da ya know. I hate to do this because I love to give props when they're due and give 5 stars to everything I ever got from amazon because most of it works great. But this device here..This $#!T should be taken off amazon. I kid you not, no more than 5 weeks of owning this crap I encountered problems. You never know what kind of stunt its going to pull. It's a blessing if the computer recognizes it and you're actually able to transfer a file but more often, it makes the sound that windows makes when it recognizes that a new device has been inserted and within the same second it is "pulled out" and makes that sound that says a device has been removed. Other times it says USB device not recognized. This also happened to my sandisk 8gb but my 2gb sandisk worked fine for a year! I'm thinking its the bigger flash drives in general. HEAR MY CRY! DO NOT SUPPORT THESE PEOPLE!!!!
 rubber doesn't mean rugged November 14, 2008
Things I liked about this drive:
- capacity
- speed
- nifty blue light that blinks when data was transferring
Didn't like:
- The rubberized cap sometimes grips other things like denim more than it grips the smooth metal of the USB connector, so it would come off when I was taking it out of my pocket. I ended up switching it for a non-rubberized cap from another defunct USB.
- It's just as vulnerable as any other USB drive in terms of getting bent/broken where the USB connector meets the body of the drive, and I guess I sat on it and bent it, and it ceased to work.
Currently I'm looking at getting a Sandisk Cruzer with a metal body and retractable USB connector, and I don't foresee having this problem again.
 Good Flash Drive November 13, 2008

This flash drive has a significant amount of space and is "hardened" against shock (rubberized coating). This also keeps it from getting a five star rating from me. It is a tad thick if you want to stack something else in a close USB port, but of course the coating which makes it thick also gives it protection, so it depends on what you are looking for. This is a good product.
 Replaced a lost 16gb Corsair with the 8gb. November 10, 2008

The Corsair thumb drives work great. I highly recommend them to anyone, the speed is decent and having 8 gigs in your pocket is very nice. I have a 16 gig also which was missing for a few months, being in the IT field having a thumb drive really makes life easier. Not even 2 weeks after i bought the 8 gig i found the 16 gig, It was in a pocket of a pair of pants that was washed and dried. All of my info was still on it. That is the 3rd time it got washed and it still works. Hopefully the 8 gig can handle a washing also =)

I have had this for a couple of months now and it works great... I use an encryption program with it - True Crypt - and this works well too. It is quick and secure.
I lost my last 8GB Usb drive and thats why I now encrypt all contents on all these type of devices... Losing it was like losing a wallet..
