Corsair Flash Voyager

1. HardwareHeaven.com

The Corsair Flash Voyager is among the 19 drives tested here, but it is primarily rated against two other tough drives, the Flash Survivor and the ATP ToughDrive Mini. The Voyager is the slowest of the three when it comes to transfer speeds, but anonymous reviewer "Grace" says this is a design that has clearly endured.

Reviews here are very thorough, but it isn't easy to see at a glance which products are rated highest. Reviewer Michael Larabel says the Corsair Flash Voyager is not built to withstand as much physical abuse as the Corsair Flash Survivor, but if you don't intend to pummel it, it's a good deal.

Patrick Schmid and Sebastian Veltze, reviewers for TomsHardware.com, test 12 drives, assessing access time, read-transfer and write-transfer capabilities. The Corsair Flash Voyager 4 GB finishes in the middle of the pack on each test, but its durability makes it a good choice for those who need to carry it outside, the reviewers say.

6. Amazon.com

More than 400 owner reviews give a very high average score to Corsair Flash Voyager, but it should be noted that reviews cover all storage capacities, not just the 8 GB version. Only a small percentage of users give the drives fewer than 4 out of 5 stars, with the most common complaint being slowness.
