Pros & Cons
Pros
Since i got mine back last may, it hasn't thrown any read errors or slowed down on me even a little bit. The write and copy speeds are the fastest and rivals every other major brand. The speed is nice, but mostly i like the stability, as pi's aren't t... Read More
This one's a no-brainer! Going on 25 years. It is in my pocket everywhere i go and has traveled with me to several different countries. Once again, i'm not disapointed by anything with their name on it.
The thumb drive feels great, it has a nice weight to it, is made of metal, and the cap fits snugly. It's hard to go back to regular usb thumb drives after using this. The drive is incredibly quick and stays cool to the touch.
Cons
For this price it's inexcusable. There is no advantage and it seems more of a marketing gimmick. Would return this.

Highlights
Quality
Very good quality which you would expect from corsair
You need a recent computer with fast usb ports with the right technology to fully take advantage of the unit
Can’t believe i wasted so many hours waiting to load poor quality usbs
It is a little heavy and bulky but it does add to the quality feel right out of the box
Price
The only negative i can think of is the price
Metal casing made it feel like it was totally worth the price
I liked the price and size of the drive
Shipping
Not hugely faster than what i replaced it with but certainly fast enough
I spent a lot of time researching what options were available for a thumb drive that was actually fast in both read and write
Well it doesnt run as fast as those people say it should for me
Packaging/appearance
The thumb drive feels great it has a nice weight to it is made of metal and the cap fits snugly
Competitiveness
This drive works great with a usb hub to expand chromecast storage
After buying a 1tb drive that was bogus amazon refunded my money and removed the listing but it is now back at 512 gb i got this one
Consider fan if adding inside a dyi box kit
I dont have any issues with power but i always may sure my monitor has a sperate power supply

Plugged this bad boy into my raspi 4 and copied the os to it and set it to boot from the voyager instead of the pokey sd card
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Once i removed the sd card it booted really quickly and runs like a scalded dog now
