Fantastic Deal! Darn Cap!!!

I purchased this item originally for $119.99 with a $40.00 rebate = $79.99. I still haven't received the rebate although I have received notice that it is "processing." That's not a bad deal in itself and Amazon later changed the price to its current, $96.99, which dropped my price another $23.00 (through Amazon "price adjustment" within 30 days of purchase policy)for a grand total of $56.99 after rebate!! Sweet!!

There are a lot of complaints about the cap and they are warranted. The cap is loose and you have to keep an eye on it or you certainly will lose it. Corsair does offer replacement caps free of charge but you'll probably lose that one too! That's simply not enough to negate the value you're getting, otherwise.

The rubber covering is supple. I think it protects the actual memory device by cushioning it more than anything else. I cannot understand the claim that it is waterproof as the rubber is loose and easily stretches while the cap never makes a seal! IT'S NOT WATERPROOF! So, if you're the type which needs waterproof removable memory, for some reason, this would not be your solution.

That said, you get 32GB of reliable storage on your key ring. It's plenty fast both ways and you can use Truecrypt (if you dare) to encrypt your files. I've used it now for several weeks on both WinXP and WinVista systems without any issues. I'm very happy with it!

The only thing I can really fault is the cap and since I'm not the type that uses this device while scuba diving, or in any sort of foul weather, I can't take any stars away for it.

Despite the cap, I would highly recommend this device even at the full original price!

Wonderful Hard disk, in your Pocket ! 32 GB, of freedom, and Mobility

I had this, on my Wish List, for a while. Finally, I had to buy it. I was only content with my SanDisk 8 GB Cruzer Micro USB 2.0 Drive with U3 SDCZ6-8192-A11 (retail packaging), with "U3" technology. That drive allowed me to store a lot of info, college projects, research, and to save large files for various Operating Systems.... However, being a Tech Geek, I was drooling over the 32 GB flash / thumb drive, and I am very happy with the product.

I researched, for a while, due to the fact that prices were higher when I began drooling over the 32 GB availability, and the Corsair drive was my choice after reading reviews.

The drive arrives clean, and ready for possibilities. My Cruzer drive has the U3 system built in...which is nice...but also can be a pain, on older computers, some public computers, or computers with slow memory.

On the other hand, having all of your email, browser settings, and favorite programs in your pocket is wonderful.

I have read several books, about how to create a Linux /home file, on a USB drive -- Knoppix Hacks: 100 Industrial-Strength Tips and Tools, for an ENCRYPTED /home file, to run "in Persistent mode," with a Linux "Live CD," such as Knoppix, or Ubuntu 8.04 DVD --and I have read about how to hack a Linux OS into a USB drive.... Hacking Ubuntu: Serious Hacks Mods and Customizations (ExtremeTech)...so the possibilities seemed limitless....with more GB !

Although I may use the above books, to later create an encrypted /home file, for USB "persistent mode" (carry your Desktop, anywhere....except across Borders, according to the news) /home file directory, for now I have simply setup an easy solution to duplicating a U3 type of setup.

You can purchase this 32 GB drive, then go to Portable Apps (on the web), and install the "Suite" package, then update the programs, and install new programs. You can even import your email into the drive, and it works with multiple Operating Systems (see Portable Apps, for a list of supported OSes).

So, if you like the idea of U3 type technology, but you want more GB, you can purchase this drive, and use Portable Apps to turn the drive into a pocket Office, or organizer.

If you want to really Geek out, and you do not cross Borders (where Homeland Security is taking laptops and thumb drives), you can put your entire Desktop environment (Linux), in your pocket...then boot with a Live CD, and save data without leaving any traces on the machine that you boot from.

Either way, this drive gives nearly unlimited possibilities, until Uncle Sam takes it away from you...or hires you to teach him how you tweaked it.

As a fantastic bonus, instead of providing a small, old school extension, Corsair provides a fancy, sleek, LONG, "new fangled" extension that works very well, and gives you a lot of flexibility and reach. Extensions are important, especially for office workers, and more so when the PC units are on the floor. Who wants to get their nice dress slacks dirty? Simply plug in the fancy, long extension, and you can have access, no matter where the USB ports are located, or what weird angle (Dell) they are placed.

Furthermore, the drive comes with a nice cap, and a durable lanyard, with a strong clip. One loop through the beltloop, and if the drive falls out of your pocket....no worries.

Great Storage Product

There are so many positive things about this drive that it's difficult to know where to begin. Wait, no it's not--it's fast, massive (by today's standards), robust and durable. With its rubber coating, it resists electrical shock and physical shock. Lose the cap? You can still run it through the washing machine and dryer and have it come out fine. Reviewers who have tried to use this drive as RAM should remember that this is a storage drive, not DDR RAM. Get over it. It seemingly takes a long time to transfer lots of material, but compared to other flash drives, it's about the fastest available. It's not as cheap as it will eventually be, but when has that not been the case. For the here and now, it's great.

great reliable product

this product solved my storage needs with dependable reliability! Second one I bought! Already recommended it to a friend!

Works great, less filling

Its my first flash drive. It works great, and it can hold lots of huge files. Comes with a lanyard and a USB cable, which are nice extras. The only complaint, and it's very minor, is that while the package designer mentions that the device is Windows compatible, they forgot to mention that it also is compatible with the Mac.

The Corsair Flash Voyager family of USB drives is rugged, stylish, compact, and reliable, making them ideal for transporting MP3s, digital images, presentations and more. Flash Voyager drives are fully Plug and Play with most operating systems and are backward compatible with USB 1.1. Their durable rubber casing is easy to grip and water resistant.The Flash Voyager product line is both enclosed in the Corsair proprietary all-rubber Flash Voyager housing. Boasting water-resistant properties, these drives allow users to carry more valuable data and applications without compromise. Several reviews of the Flash Voyager products have demonstrated the ruggedness, durability, and reliability of the Flash Voyager family. The Flash Voyager has been shown laundered, baked, frozen, boiled, dropped, and even run over by a SUV in many third party reviews. After all the punishment it receives, the drive continues to work.
