7th Corsair Flash Voyager in 3 years.

[_Jimlad_]

So my 7th one packed up today, luckily i have only paid for the original one and the others have been RMA's getting to be a bit of a joke really

im looking for a sturdy, small and well built usb flash drive, around 32gig, what do you recommend ?

Well, cant fault the corsair warranty. I've used a single ocz rally for about 3 years, it's outlived half a dozen pny sticks. It's been used as a boot disk for about a year of that, which is pretty write intensive.

That's just my experience though, i think corsair have a better reputation than ocz for reliability. Is sending files over the internet an option? Dropbox (insecure) and rsync+ssh (secure) have pretty much replaced usb sticks for me.

p.s. sorry about your luck

yeah mine always take that long, i use mine day in day out on 100's of different pc's and to be fair on corsair i don't always eject them correctly, but yep RMA to Belgium or Holland and then a 3 - 4 week turn around before i get a new one

i never send back the lids

Have you tried the usb3 flash voyagers?

Must be different flash memory and controller to achieve the USB3 speeds, but in the same durable rubbery body.
