Review on πŸ’Ύ Corsair CMFVY3A-32GB 32 GB USB 3.0 Flash Voyager Flash Drive - High-speed and Reliable Storage Solution by Greg Princeking

Revainrating 4 out of 5

They are two big (wide) and they just don't last. Don't risk the data on it.

I've had several of these picks ranging in size from 8GB to 128GB. I liked them when I first started using them, but not so much now. First, they're wider than most thumb drives and tend to partially block an adjacent USB slot, making them difficult to use at the same time. The worst thing is that they are short-lived. I've used them a lot and they all break after about a year of use. The problem I think is that the soft shell allows the circuit board inside to flex and you end up cracking the solder and the device fails. I was lucky and was able to twist or bend the device to get temporary contact and copy the data onto the flash drive before throwing it away. This design is completely useless. But a brand with a solid shell and a good lid.

Pros
  • Cute
Cons
  • The cable is shorter than the others
