 Sometimes I like to dump the whole lot of them on my bed and roll around in them. Sadly though, none of them go above 2GB. So I have to get my hands on one of these new 16GB bad boys from Corsair.
<p>
The Flash Voyager drive has all the features of its smaller-capacity siblings including its proprietary all-rubber housing that’s water resistant, shock absorbing and allows it to operate in severe temperature situations.
<p>
The drive can be password protected, too, and used to boot Windows, which is fun. It also features 8-bit Error Correcting Codes (ECC) for keeping your ones and zeros free from corruption, hopefully. Best of all, this size is so big you could totally go into your office and swipe all kinds of crucial documents and sell them to spies. You’ll make back your $299 investment in no time.
<p>
EDIT: Blake says “the 16gb corsair flash drive is officially the stupidest looking flash drive I’ve ever seen.”<br />

This device looks like its more marketed towards lonely single women.
Yikes, bpm2000, that gives a whole new meaning to “file transfer”
Dare I ask when operating “in severe temperature situations” would be needed.
“Shoot, the house is on fire, quick grab the thumb drive that works in severe temperature situations.”
While I do agree, they look about as stupid as third nipple, they are quite grippy. To be honest, I care very little about what my portable storage looks like, its all about the feel. :)
The a-open usb thumb drive called JOGR is pretty reliable, only goes up to 2gb i think. Bought it for a clumsy friend of mine and he has left it in his pants pocket and put it in the washing machine twice and it still worked fine afterwards. I think more should have a rubberized outside for protection.

Arizona summers….110 in the shade while sitting on the patio at Star Bucks sipping your extr tall Iced Mocha Cappuccino.
I actually own the 1GB version of this, and I think the thing’s darn near invincible. I have no qualms throwing the thing across the room to somebody else, because if it hits the ground, it just bounces around a bit, and it’s none the worse for the wear. I wouldn’t recommend doing it regularly, but if you’re too lazy to walk across the room (like me), you’ll enjoy it.
