Great drive

CORSAIR Survivor 32GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive CMFUSBSRVR-32GB
CORSAIR Survivor 32GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive CMFUSBSRVR-32GB

Pros: Practically indestructible in every day use. Huge storage size. Comes with TruCrypt.

Cons: Kinda big, can't use adjacent USB port if you don't use the supplied cable.

Overall Review: I've got two of these for our department, and they have worked flawlessly. The only issue I have with them is their size, as they are a bit on the large side, and you have to use the supplied extension cable if you need to use the USB port beside the one this drive uses.

Most Critical Review

Good drive. Poor design.

CORSAIR 16GB Flash Survivor Ultra Rugged USB 2.0 Drive Model CMFUSBSRVR-16GB
CORSAIR 16GB Flash Survivor Ultra Rugged USB 2.0 Drive Model CMFUSBSRVR-16GB

Pros: The Survivor series drives are pretty much indestructable in every day use.

Cons: The hole for a keyring or belt-loop clip is on the wrong end of the device.

Overall Review: Why was the design changed so that the keyring loop on the end that comes out when it is unscrewed? The 32GB version of this drive I already own is the exact opposite of this bass-ackwards design. With the 32GB, I unscrew it from the case and plug it in, leaving the case attached to my belt-loop clip. With this unbelievable design change, you have to unscrew it from the case, then unhook the drive from your key-chain / belt loop / etc. and then you can plug it in and use it. Whomever made / approved that design change should be given a drug test.

Non-replaceable battery?

Tripp Lite 750 VA UPS Battery Backup, 450 Watts Eco Green, USB, RJ11, 12 Outlets (ECO750UPS)

Pros: It worked.

Cons: Taking a cue from Apple, Tripp Lite decided to go with a Non-replaceable battery.

Overall Review: By using a non-replaceable battery in this device, Tripp Lite has lost my business.
