Corsair CMFUSB2.0-8GB 8GB Flash Voyager Water Resistant Flash Drive

Not fit for repeated use
I owned a Corsair Flash Voyager. One of the great things about any flash memory drive is that you can unplug it, transport it easily, and plug it in to a different computer taking your data with you. Incredible then that Corsair have designed a Voyager that is not fit for repeated use. Sure it looks tough and may be difficult to damage by squashing or smashing but this product can be damaged through normal use!! When you have another USB attachment plugged in next to or above the flash voyager it pushes against the Voyager putting strain on the internal components.

Great memory stick
This USB stick does exactly what it says on the tin. It's fast, works straight from the box, and comes with a copy of some very good encryption software on the drive which you can optionally use if needed. So far, it's been fast, reliable, and problem free. After ordering this it arrived very quickly.
