Customer Rating:      Summary: Mid-Storage Mini Hard Drive Comment: 12 October 2008. This flash drive is handy for files that are greater than 8 GB, but not 30 GB and above. Great for smaller video files, songs and such. I'll find out more about it as I use it more. C. Yopst
Customer Rating:      Summary: Best, most rugged Flash Drive IMHO Comment: This is a stellar product. I rarely give 5 stars but this line of drives is amazing. I have both the 16 and now the 32 and am eyeing the new 64 also. The rugged housing is great for drops. I use it on OSX and its never given ,e any problems. It comes with a nice laniard to keep it around your neck or such also. Only item I would add is I wish the cap were attached somehow. I am always afraid I'll lose the tiny little cap but I never have of course. Great drive.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Looks nice but is HORRIBLY SLOW Comment: I just received the 32 GB flash drive. I was pleased with the overall design (though the cap seems rather loose).
I am currently trying to write 11 GB worth of data to it. I've been at it for 3 hours and it's still not done. Windows Vista gave me estimates that were all over the place - at one point, it said there was 1 day 2 hours left. Actually right now the progress bar is not quite halfway and the estimate is 14 hours left. I knew it wouldn't be lightning fast, but even at the lower end of estimates (4 MB/s writing speed), 11 GB should take no more than 45 minutes.
Bottom line: Buyer Beware! The drive may be huge in terms of storage and indestructible in design, but the slow write speed makes it (the 32 GB model at least) totally impractical. I feel terrible I plunked down $80 on this. I would rather have given it to charity than to have spent it on an electronic gizmo that turned out to be (in my opinion) worthless.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great high capacity flash drive Comment: I bought this drive mainly for the capacity, and having 16GB has been fantastic. It allows me to back up all important data and photos, which is not only a good idea for backup purposes, but enables my data to be completely transportable without taking a laptop.
The rubberized unit is attractive, water resistant, and apparently indestructible.
The data transfer seemed somewhat slow when I received the unit...noticeably slower than my 4GB Apacer drive.
But I reformatted the Corsair Flash Drive using Windows Vista, and it sped things up. On a 2GB test, it sped up the transfer rate by about 35%.
All in all, this is a good value.
Customer Rating:      Summary: It Works! Comment: Oh my god! This product totally does what it says it does. I am so impressed!!!
