    Duration of ownership: 2 Days

    Strengths: Speed......very fast, size, and rubber cover.

    Weaknesses:None so far.

    Overall Evaluation: This is my second drive from Corsair. I like them both. I bought my first one over a year ago and it has worked perfectly since. I was a little concerned when I read the other reviews about the cap being loose but that has not happened with either of mine. They are both quite snug. I give the Corsair 8gb flash drive 5 stars.

    Duration of ownership: 1

    Strengths: None known at this time

    Weaknesses:Dead on Arrival. No enclosed warranty information. Corsair website fails to have either an E-Mail or phone number (one of which Provantage requires).

    Overall Evaluation: I got the flash drive and from the box it looked outstanding! I did not expect the lanyard nor the USB extension cable. I can see advantages to using both of them in various situation. The lanyard might look geeky, but if you're it will help you keep track of the drive and protect it.Without using the extension cable, I plugged the USB flash drive into one of my Dell computers. It failed to see the drive. I removed the drive and tried a different USB slot with the same result. I then took the drive and tried it in three other Dell computers (Dell Inspiron 9300, Dell Dimension 3000, Dell Precision 390). None of them saw the drive.Going to the Provantage website, I read their return policy requiring a person's name, phone number, and/or E-Mail address. I looked for warranty information in the package and found only the Corsair website URL.Going to this site, I couldn't find a support phone number or E-Mail address.The site does have a form that asks you several questions and gives you various suggestions on fixing the problem. None of their solutions worked. I put my name, E-Mail address, and phone into their form. I got an automated E-Mail saying the E-Mail address is not monitored (so I can't give it to Provantage). At this point I'm waiting to hear back someday from someone at Corsair.com.At worse, I'll just file a complaint with my credit card company for protection from this bad purchase. Hopefully, Corsair or Provantage will resolve this before my billing date.I'm not impressed by either Provantage nor by Corsair support. As for what you should do, I can't say as I can't test its speed or reliability.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Plenty of storage space, fast drive speed, includes nice lanyard.

    Weaknesses:The cap is easily lost. The encryption software requires administrator privileges to run on different computers.

    Overall Evaluation: Corsair is a great PC peripheral company and the Flash Voyager is another one of their excellent products. Comes with a copy of TrueCrypt, which is an open source encryption program. Unfortunately to use True Crypt, one needs to have the drive for on the fly encryption/decryption on the host PC. This is problematic on computers where one does not have administrator privileges. The drive works great and is pretty fast. The only concern is the ca can slide off pretty easily and thus become lost.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Good Size, Good Speed and Good Protection

    Weaknesses:Cap is too loose

    Overall Evaluation: It is a very product design. This drive is Sturdy, practical and waterproof. 8GB is big enough for what I need. It is really fast for read/write. However, its rubber cap doesn't stay on the drive tightly. It is kinda loose and easy to be lost. Overall, it is very good.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Storage size, protection and speed!

    Weaknesses:None

    Overall Evaluation: This is a great USB flash drive with very large storage capacity and good speed. The rubber protective shell does a great job protecting the drive. I just dropped it several times and the drive still stands strong.
