Rating: 3/5Corsair Flash Voyager GS USB 3.0 128 GB, Read 295 MBs - Write 270 MBs, Plug and Play (CMFVYGS3B-128GB)
This review is from: Corsair Flash Voyager GS USB 3.0 128 GB, Read 295 MBs - Write 270 MBs, Plug and Play (CMFVYGS3B-128GB)
Pros: Very solid design at a good price.
Cons: The only issue i have with the drive is the write speed only reaching half of the advertised 270MB/s.
When transferring an 8 GB video file to the voyager gs the write speed only reached 140MB/s as measured by windows 8.1 pro. When transferring the same video file to my Samsung T1 the transfer reached 400MB/s as measured by windows 8.1 pro. (Samsung advertises 450MB/s max)
Not sure how the other reviewers were able to achieve the maximum advertised write speed as I could not get mine to reach the advertised 270MB/s.
Other Thoughts: Will be returning it for exchange in hopes it is a defective stick.

This review is from: Corsair Flash Voyager GS USB 3.0 128 GB, Read 295 MBs - Write 270 MBs, Plug and Play (CMFVYGS3B-128GB)
Pros: As an update to my earlier review: It did a superb job with everything I threw at it. No issues whatsoever with it operation.
Cons: It only operated for ~3 weeks before failure. To be fair I did use it all day, 5 days a week as a technician but I'd be lying if I said I was disappointed that it failed as quickly as it did. No trauma to the drive; it just suddenly became recognized as raw data and Disk Management stated it was write protected.
Other Thoughts: Best USB drive I've used, when it worked.

This review is from: Corsair Flash Voyager GS USB 3.0 128 GB, Read 295 MBs - Write 270 MBs, Plug and Play (CMFVYGS3B-128GB)
Pros: Worked perfectly on over a dozen systems running Win 10, Win 8.1 and Win 7. Benchmarks shows the drive running faster than advertised (not by a huge amount), but at least exactly as advertised. It's very well built, and sturdy.
Cons: The only con I have with the Voyager GS is that carrying it around in my pocket for just over a month, the finish is starting to rub off. This didn't happen at all with the previous models of the Voyager.
Other Thoughts: Love the drive, its fast, well built and reliable.
This review is from: Corsair Flash Voyager GS USB 3.0 128 GB, Read 295 MBs - Write 270 MBs, Plug and Play (CMFVYGS3B-128GB)
Pros: Every computer I've tried to boot from this USB has recognized it and worked flawlessly. Lesser drives seem to always have the most issues with this.
Tested read and write speeds on W8 with crystal mark and it tested as advertised. Actually tested just over advertised specs; blazing fast.
As others have noted this drive is big but not to the point where you can't use another USB in the slot next to it. It's just build like a tank; heavy and solid and a bit longer than usual but not wide.
Best bang for your buck for the speed, build quality and compatibility. Amazing drive for techs, I know I'm a fan.
Cons: If you throw the drive for some reason it might go through drywall... guess that's a con?
Other Thoughts: Plan on getting a couple of 64 gig versions of this same drive, super happy with this purchase.

Pros: Fast! Built like a tank and as big as one. This drive is a beast. For you people that prefer small dainty drives look for a different model Even if you don't mind a large drive I'm telling you this thing is huge not for the faint of heart
Cons: Huge heavy
Other Thoughts: I can't see this drive ever falling apart in your pocket or hand

Cons: Size But it well built
Other Thoughts: Buy this one it should last you and its fast
