Corsair 128 GB USB 3.0 Flash Voyager Flash Drive, Black

Good and solid construction. Decent benchmarks and probably could do better in a better system than mine. Very happy with it.

Once upon a time when USB flash drives were new to the market, I had a 1GB (or 512MB, can't remember) Corsair Flash Voyager, and I was not unimpressed with what it could do. In These days flash drives are like 3.5" floppies were 15 years ago. Also like floppies, most inexpensive USB drives have been great on reads, but slow as daylight on writes. This is not one of those drives. Copying a large file (a 1.5gb .WMV movie) over USB 3.0 (from a 1TB Samsung 850 Evo) saw sustained transfer speeds between 59MB/s and 61MB/s. Copying the same movie back to the SSD saw speeds between 89MB/s and 91MB/s. Even small transfers (a folder of images ranging from 300KB to 800KB), which is where USB drives usually suffer badly, completed at a very respectable 11MB/s. My first Corsair Voyager lasted about 8 years until I connected it to a wrongly wired USB port, and until that time, despite heavy usage, I never lost a file, so I have great expectations for this drive.The one downside I can find with this drive, and it is a small one, and it may be my computer, is that it takes several seconds to be recognized. While not a downside worth docking a star for, the original Corsair Voyagers shipped with a utility which could create a password protected encrypted partition, but these days there are several drives, including some made by Corsair, with hardware level encryption.Of course as soon as it was delivered the price dropped by $1, but isn't that always the way?

I have 3 of these Corsair Flash Voyager drives (16, 32, 64 gb). I don't use them probably like most people. I put stuff on there I want to keep and they go in a box until I get ready to update them. I did have the small one while 4 years in college and it worked great. A couple of times I forgot about the small cap but luckily it was still there (who wants a rubber cap?) I never had a problem and feel like these are very sturdy and they hold anything I threw at them and never lost data. I have plugged these into my smart tv and played mp4 files. Just make sure you get the size you can afford. I also use Windows 7 platform so if you use Apple products I'm not sure how that differs. I usually buy one a year to put everything on just for a backup to a backup to a backup just in case.

Been using this brand for 5 years now. Prices have come down while capacity improves. Never had a problem with reliability. 64 GIG is a good size for storing files and or transferring between computers. I believe you can get up to 256 GIG, bit I didn't need such a large capacity and they got a bit pricey at that lever. An external SSD would be a better use for backups.

Great speed and value for the money.

I am a fan of Corsair USB 3.0 Flash Voyager Flash Drives. They perform well and I rather like the rubber water resistant cladding of the drive, even if the detachable cap is sometimes easy to lose track of. The one thing that I do object to, however, is that all the Corsair drives of this type are all the same color and, worse, Corsair never labels a drive with what size it is. So, if you have four drives, of 16, 32, 64 and 128GB respectively, there is no way to tell which is which. Would it be so difficult to imprint the GB capacity on the rubber exterior? Would it be such a challenge to make each size a different color? As it is, I have to tie different colored ties or strings or whatever to each drive to keep track of which one is which. In any case, that annoyance aside, these are fine USB 3.0 flash drives, and I have gotten a lot good use out of the several that I own, even if I have to invent my own identification system.

Regardless of anyone else's negative experiences, I have found this thumb drive to be extraordinarily reliable and speedy. I have both a 32 GB and a 16 GB model and both have been extraordinarily reliable. I accidentally put my 16 GB model through the wash and it came out working perfectly. The speeds are incredible - without performing any speed tests (I know, sorry...), if I boot from the 16GB model in a USB 3.0 port, it only takes 4.6 seconds longer to boot than from my internal SDD, something I find completely ludicrous.Bottom line: these are reliable, fast, and reasonably priced. If you're in the market for a thumb drive, I haven't found anything better yet.
