 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..
;)
Good speed, but too bulky for a MacBook Air November 7, 2008
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
This flash drive is reasonably fast (especially if you copy one large file at a time), but its profile (i.e. the rubber casing surrounding the drive) is too thick for some USB connectors, such as that found on the MacBook Air (MBA). I found from the first time I used it on my MBA that there seemed to be some strain on the USB connector, and after about 40-50 uses, the MBA began to complain that it couldn't communicate with the drive.
In summary: if you have a USB connector that is easily accessible, this flash drive should work well, but it has a limited lifetime for small spaces.
