Great little drive. I had this drive for about a month or two and I like it a lot.
It's fast and the best of it, is that it fell onto ceramic tiles from the first floor of the office where I work when I was getting downstairs and it bounced and landed on the other side of the room... I lost hope at that moment, but when I plugged it into the USB port, it worked! I am happy with this purchase and couldn't recommend this little drive enough!
disintegrates easily I bought this memory stick 6 weeks ago.

It still works but now disintegrates frequently. I doubt that it is still "rugged, water and shock resistant" Learning outcome:
a) do not pull out of the usb port by only touching the key ring rubber bit
b) probably don't buy it to start with
Very slow bordering on unusable for me Bought two of these and had to have both replaced for sub-spec speeds. Trouble is the replacements are no faster.

A 1MB file already takes several seconds, a backup of a few good files can easily take twenty minutes. My four year old 1 GB Lexar stick is three times faster according to HDbench and gets to about 1000kb/s. I consider my... more info
First appearances I got the 8GB version of this. Very pleased I was with it, too. Solid, well-designed, fast, and all encased in very durable rubber. However, what seemed like a practical idea turned out to be anything but. That rubber cap - after a few days, you just know you're going to lose it. You have to, how easily it slips off. Or leastways, if you're going to use the Corsair as a keyring, which I did. Picked it up once in the street at the front of my house. After that, it was only a matter of time.
