Corsair 4GB Survivor USB2.0 Flash Drive - Designed for Price/Performance

This is a well made product with an extremely good design. It is however bulky in size but not too heavy in weight. The cap is a screw on so it stays tight and will not come off under any circumstances that I can see. The case is so strong that damage to the drive under normal conditions is highly unlikely (dropping, stepping, even accidentally washing it).

The drive is a breeze to setup. I have used it on at least a dozen different machines and operating system configurations and it works flawlessly. There is a short pause the first time you plug it as windows works on recognize it then it’s pretty much instant on.

The drive is extremely slow, not really any slower than some of the crappy cheap drives out there but slow none the less. To give you an example copying 4,500 mixed file sized files takes almost 20 minutes and on an older model LEXAR that I have it takes only 5.5 minutes. This is due to the fact that this drive uses cheaper memory modules. Read speed is OK though on this drive.

If write speed is not an issue get the drive it’s great in every way but if write speed is crucial avoid it like the plague.

It does come with encryption software for those that have a need for such a thing.

Because of its size may block adjacent USB ports rendering them useless while the drive is plugged in.

Survivor 4G

Strengths: Tough

Weakness: A Little Bulky

This thumb drive is TOUGH. The casing is VERY strong and it's even water resistant due to a rubber O ring seal. I would recommend for anyone that needs to transport data in a harsh environment. It is rather BULKY though, much larger than most keyring size thumb drives.
