CORSAIR Survivor 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Model CMFSV3-32GB CORSAIR Survivor 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive Model CMFSV3-32GB

Pros: -Great memory
-Corsair quality
-Looks cool
-Great protection

Cons: -Little Heavy (Can bend the socket in time)
-A little big

Other Thoughts: Great memory unit, just wish it had a little more durability where the socket was. After about 6 months, it bent on its own with just the shear weight.

Pros: Coming back after more than a year of owning this bad boy and let me just say that this is an excellent product to own. Whether or not you have a USB 3.0 capable computer you will be very satisfied by the durability, space and speed even with 2.0 slots, with which it's compatible

Still unscrews like new after more than a year, (not very heavily jostled or travelled, but still)

Cons: None.

Pros: USB3 stick, relatively fast transfers before it died

Cons: Completely died, non recoverable and lost all data on the drive. Very bulky and not great for MacBook Pro's or other slim notebooks because of it's size.

Other Thoughts: I should have stayed with my Mushkin drives! The Corsair failed in less than a year of light use and I lost all the data on this drive. Luckily I had backups. Tried to recover the data but the drive is completely gone and not recoverable so I threw it in the recycle bin. I'm staying with Mushkin usb3 flash drives because I've never had one fail yet and Mushkin has great customer service and they're based in the USA. Live and learn...

Pros: - Usb 3.0
- Durable
- Nice aesthetics

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I love USB 3.0! Waiting for files to transfer has become a thing of the past, and with 32GB I have plenty of space for my needs. The only thing I would want out of this is more space at the same price, but it's still a great product.

Pros: this flash drive is very fast, works very well and is still holding up. i did the ultimate dry test, i took this flash, went to an eight foot pool and dropped it in, then went right back in let it air dry, popped it back into my computer. the results, nothing, it was still running smooth and strong. i then downloaded 2 gigs of binary information in an encrypted file to the flash, it still was going strong

Cons: the only conn i have is that the hole at the top could be bigger but thats not worth taking an egg over. i love this product and will definently be updating and getting more from corsair

Pros: The enclosure for this device is SOLID. It feels like it could be shot, roll down-hill over hot coals, drop into a puddle, and get run over by a MAC truck, all without affecting the condition of the USB drive inside.

Cons: Tad on the bulky side (a little more from weight than shape), but it's a fair trade-off for the durability. Something to keep in mind if you plan on putting this on a key-chain or wearing it on a lanyard around your neck.

Other Thoughts: I was going to get the 64GB model, but the 32GB had the better cost per GB when I got it. Regardless, 32GB is more than enough for PortableApps and similar modular applications in addition to transferring the occasional file.

Also, I noticed that the rubber grip around the screw open/close end can eventually start to slip a little bit (not freely but rather with some noticeable resistance) but it only seems to do so when tightening it closed rather than opening it. I'd imagine that this could help prevent over-tightening and putting undue strain on the enclosure and any seals, but some people might (mistakenly?) attribute it to Corsair trying to same a few cents on some adhesive to affix it to the enclosure cap/device base.

Pros: -Great for security
-Super Durable
-Waterproof!

Cons: -Make sure you know how bulky it is

Other Thoughts: I have read reviews mentioning the key ring attaching to the side that goes into the PC and not the cap side. This is an added security measure to ensure that you cannot lose this drive. If you are looking at this particular stick, then you have sensitive information that you need to survive on this drive between your travels, it being attached to your keys makes it that much more difficult for it to be stolen/lost. If you don't appreciate the added security there is probably a lower cost option available to you.

Pros: It works fantastically and is made with very strong metal causing it not to be easily broken. I am a person that is rough with their belongings so I highly recommend this to whomever is also rough with their belongings because this has not broke. Also the speed of the USB is very fast, however I use the USB 2.0 so I do not get the full speed of my USB however I can guarantee that if it were to be used on a USB 3.0 it would run very fast.

Cons: A little too heavy.

Pros: * Built to survive the absent-minded or adventurous techie
* Decent speeds: At USB 3.0, 85.67MB/s read and 42.14MB/s write.
* Hard to lose due to the size.
* Looks cool.
* Made by Corsair, who has a very good reputation for standing behind their products.

Cons: * A little on the large side. Can block adjacent USB ports.
* Doesn't come in a GT version for USB 3.0.

Other Thoughts: After having a standard Corsair Voyager die after the 9th time through the wash (unintentionally,) I bought this. I guess because it's large, I notice it's in my pocket and it hasn't gone through the wash in the year since I purchased it. Go figure...

The speed is adequate, and I haven't had a bit of problems with reliability. I always run the free USB Tester utility to scan for bad spots, and this was clean as a whistle.

If you're like me and often find your flash drive after it has gone through the wash, this is a great unit. But if you're looking for maximum speed, check out Corsair's GT line - they hit 225MB/s reads and over 100MB/s writes. Unfortunately, they don't make a "Survivor GT" in the USB 3.0 flavor yet. I'm guessing the 2.0 version wasn't a big seller, which is a terrible shame.

Pros: Feels solid, has already been through a few accidental wet/dry cycles & stayed dry on the inside. Works just like I'd expect a quality flash drive should.

Cons: Might have to replace the ring seal within the next year, but I hear that Corsair can provide a replacement if you ask.

Other Thoughts: Make sure this will fit in your pocket/bag/wherever you're carrying it. he aluminum enclosure is a tad larger than most flash drives.
