Corsair Flash Voyager GT 32 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive CMFUSB-32GBGT

Glad to comment first on this drive. I was skeptical at first before I purchased this drive, since it had a couple of negative reviews about formating problems, which bothered me as it questioned its reliability. It comes standard FAT file format. This means you will not be able to store a file larger 4 gigs. As an I.T. person, you always need to copy files larger than 4 gigs like images, databases etc. The problem people might have is formating this baby. It is not straight forward.

To copy my images onto the Corsair, I ran a program that I wrote that can copy digital photographs scattered all over my hard disk to another disk. I ended up copying 8,173 JPEG files each of which is scaled to fit within a 1920x1440 pixel display. These files average 1.18 MByte each, totalling 9.42 GBytes. Thus this Corsair is actually overkill for my immediate needs, although if I put *all* my "choice" scaled images on the drive, most of it would be used up, since I'm also into taking reams of family photos. In any case, I timed how long the copy operation took: 18 minutes and 34 seconds, or 7.33...Read more

As the price of flash memory has dropped, products like these are a good buy. The only draw-back I have found it the size. It's too fat to allow another USB to connect to the second port at the front of my tower.
