I used to own the 4Gb Corsair and *LOVED IT* until the day it completely crapped out on me about 2-3 months after purchase. I sent it in for replacement, but they discontinued that model and without a receipt, they only offered me a refund of about 1/2 of what I paid. They still make the 16Gb model, but unfortunately, they wouldn’t consider upgrading me to it for my troubles or even letting me pay the difference.

I considered buying a 16Gb anyway since the 4Gb was good when it worked, but since I suspect the problem I ran into may have something to do with them discontinuing it, I am leaning away from that line all together.

True, and it is the only one of these drives that has that risk. I’m pretty good about that, amazingly - I’m more likely to leave the whole drive sitting somewhere, and there’s equal risk among all the drives for something like that :)

Ooops - you’re absolutely right. I switched ‘em when I was modifying the post earlier. Thanks for keeping me honest.

Just to update the author, the first paragraph has “Corsair (the Cruzer Contour) and SanDisk (the Voyager GT)”

Isnt it Corsair (Voyager GT) etc..

I have the 4GB Corsair GT and the transfer speed to and from the drive is quick. The only problem is the issue of losing the cap.

I’ve got a Sandisk, so i’m pretty happy with those results.
I really do reccomend it to anyone looking for a good USB thumdrive.
It’s done nothing but work more efficiently than i could have asked for!
