Corsair CMFUSB2.0-16GB Flash Drive

Pros: 16GB, durable, cool, necklace and usb ext. cable
Cons: comes in Fat32 limit to 4GB max single file size unless you reformat to NTFS
The Bottom Line:
Get the 32GB drive if you can afford the $199 price tag. this drive rocks! (once you format it to NTFS) Do a google for 'Cosair format'
Just got this about a week ago and it's great but you have to be warned... The largest file you can transfer to it at one time is a 4GB file (FAT32 limit)!! So if you want to transfer DVD ISO which run at 4.5GB you are out of luck unless you do some re-formating. Go to Device Manager find the Corsair under "Drives".. right click to "properties" and choose the Policies TAB and select "Optimize for Performance"... The next thing you do is Format it:
Format (X:) /FS:NTFS /U (X=the drive letter assigned to the Flash Voyager)
It take a minute or two to work, then you are done... you can now transport large files to your NTFS partion.
Now that I got that off my chest, the whole thing is rubberized which is very good and it does not add alot of girth to the drive at all. It has a blue falshing LED when files are being accessed. It comes with a short USB cable for tough to reach\plug areas. It also comes with a cloth necklace to hang your drive with.
All in all the speed is ok, but if you download 16GBs of pictures at a time, that could be 1,000's of pictures... so it could take a good 10 to 20 minutes at least...
Still, this is a great buy, only wish I could afford the 32GB model.
