Corsair Flash Survivor USB flash drive - 32 GB

Advantages: Really well built - indestructible and fast
Disadvantages: higher price

...Corsair is well known because their products are best in tests and very reliable. This flash disc is more than reliable and fast - it is also nearly indestructible! The devide is a mass storage and therefore standard plug and play. First impressive was weight which is around 50g because of aluminium. Device is 83mm long and diameter is 20mm. The wrapping is made from three aluminium parts - middle tube with two pegs with rubber to make it water resistant. Desing is good but anyway when i buy this type of devide i dont care about design since it will be scratched all around very early.Opening the disc is possible in few seconds - inside the tube is a simple usb memory you know. This disc is well fastened to the cover and is made from plastic. If you try to make some speed tests you will be delighted because corsair is fast enough even... Read review

Advantages: Speed, Reliability, Looks, Lanyard
Disadvantages: Rubber coating makes it quite large

...I chose this flash drive as corsair are a very well respected memory manufacturer, and had read on various forums that its speed was second to none. I can confirm that as i have used it in conjunction with the Vista Ready Boost function that aims to boost system performance by using a flash drive as a page file, naturally the corsair with its speed was a good choice for this job. This is a very competent and very quick flash drive, which i whole heartedly recommend to anyone. The lanyard is a cool freebie and makes the flash drive easier to find.

For the price you can find cheaper flash drives out there but as with any technological product it is oftern worth... Read review

Advantages: Hard wearing, Extremely Fast
Disadvantages: Cap tends to feel a little loose.

...I was not 100% sure about purchasing one of these as they are not the cheepest flash drives about by a long way, but i am so glad i did! This is probably the 6th or 7th flash drive i have bought and it is by far the best one i have got. I would say tranfering files with this is at least 25% quicker than the next fastest one i own (crucial gizmo). And to say this is rugged is a bit of a understatement mine has been dropped and stood on countless times,been through my washing machine twice and even been chewed by my girlfriends dog. And has never failed to work once! So if your after an extremely hard wearing high performance usb drive this is the one to get.... Read review
