This review is from: Corsair 8GB Flash Voyager Mini USB 2.0 Flash Drive CMFUSBMINI-8GB (Personal Computers)

I was looking for a small usb drive I could keep on my key chain that did not use a cap that I would end up losing. This drive fulfills that purpose pretty well but does have a few drawbacks.
First though a couple pros of this drive. It is fairly small at just under 1 3/4" x 3/4" x 3/8". Also the shell is made out of a soft rubber that seems pretty durable. The clip to attach the drive to a keyring reminds me of a necklace clip. While it is handy and after a bit of practice pretty easy to attach and remove the drive, it seems a little fragile and I worry a bit about it breaking off. I haven't measured the speed of the drive but it feels a little slower than some of the drives I've used in the past, not horribly bad though. The biggest problem I've had with the drive so far is the usb connector has a tendency to just slide back into the drive instead of going in the port. This isn't much of a problem when plugging into a desktop since there is usually space to hold onto the tab on the bottom of the drive and stop it from sliding in. On a notebook though there often isn't space to keep a finger under the drive and I have to lift the notebook up or slide it to the edge of the table in order to plug in the drive. So overall this ends up being a nice handy drive with plenty of space that I can keep with me all the time. It can just be a little harder to use than it should be at times.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great, with one major exception., December 22, 2009

This flash drive is almost ideal; it's tiny, rugged, and protects itself without need of a cover. There is, however, one major flaw: The rubber hole which is used to attach this onto one's keychain is incredibly flimsy. It broke within days, and no amount of superglue will keep it together. Therefore, this drive is now useless to me. If it's not on my keychain, it's lost.

4.0 out of 5 stars Small size but could have been faster, September 3, 2009

This one is quite small and it feels durable because of the rubber housing. Speed-wise, it's just decent, meaning around 5 MB/s write and 20 MB/s read. For a 16GB drive, the write speed is quite small as it will take forever if you want to fill it in one go. It also has a quite long access time compared to other USB sticks I own.
