No complaints at all about function, appearance, usefulness, or file uploading & downloading time. My only real gripe is that the actual usable space on this thumb drive is under 30Gb. How can the data that comes with this stick suck up over 2 GIGABYTES(!) of memory?!? Other than that it's a solid value... and of course this retailer came through with their usual superior service and lightning-fast shipping.

For the past year and a half I have been purchasing flash drives of Various Makes and Capacities. The CORSAIR 32GB Flash Survivor has made my day. Easy to use and plenty of space to do any job. It's Durable, and I love the safety Feature. My BEST purchase for the price so far. Thanks TigerDirect.

I previously had another no-brand 8 GB flash drive I was given as a replacement for a mini 16 GB hard drive (about 1" square) that kept dying or was DOA. With the 8 GB flash drive, it worked well, except I bent the USB plug and the drive was getting full.
So I got this drive for more space. The durability was just a bonus, but now that I have it, it is one I will not go without. Not only is the drive practically indestructible, but with the use of the (very heavy) extender cable, it prevents it from blocking any USB ports.
I've partitioned it and installed System Rescue CD to it and routinely boot off this device.
I also got rid of the FAT32 file system for NTFS, as that is a much more reliable and fault-tolerant file system.
However, I have had the file system get corrupted - probably forgot to hit "Safely Remove Hardware" first.

This is perhaps the finest Flash Drive that I have ever purchased. I do tons of design file transfers and send them to customers, some as large as 40 gigs. So far we have a fleet of 37 and they have weathered rain, sleet, snow and never had an issue with even one. One stick even took a 60 foot dip in the ocean for more than 30 minutes while I was in Aruba, no issues.
For those complaining about slow speed, try zipping your files before transfer then unzip them once transfered. Cuts the speed by more than half.
A USB flash drive consists of a NAND-type
flash memory data storage device integrated with a USB (universal serial
bus) interface. USB flash drives are typically removable and rewritable,
much smaller than a floppy disk (1 to 4 inches or 2.5 to 10 cm), and most
USB flash drives weigh less than an ounce. Storage capacities typically
range from 64 MB to 128 GB with steady improvements in size and price per
gigabyte. Some allow 1 million write or erase cycles and have 10-year data
retention, and are connected by and compatible with USB standards 1.1 and
above.
USB flash drives offer many advantages over other portable storage
devices, particularly floppy disks, or CDs - they even hold more than DVDs
and BluRay Discs. They have a more compact shape, operate faster, hold
much more data, have a more durable design, and operate more reliably due
to their lack of moving parts. Plus they come in a wide variety of shapes,
designs, and color - some quite unique - they have truly become a vanity
or fashion product!
Additionally, it has become increasingly common for computers to be sold
without floppy disk drives, and the new Netbooks don't have optical drives
either. USB ports, on the other hand, appear on almost every mainstream
PC, laptop, netbook, and handheld. These types of drives use the USB mass
storage standard, supported natively by modern operating systems such as
Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and other Unix-like systems. USB drives with USB
2.0 support can also operate faster than many optical disc drives, while
storing a larger amount of data in a much smaller space.
Nothing actually moves in a flash drive: the term drive persists because
computers read and write flash-drive data using the same system commands
as for a mechanical disk drive, with the storage appearing to the computer
operating system and user interface as just another drive.
A flash drive consists of a small printed circuit board protected inside a
plastic, metal, or rubberized case, robust enough for carrying with no
additional protection—in a pocket or on a key chain, for example. The USB
connector is usually protected by a removable cap or by retracting into
the body of the drive, although it is not likely to be damaged if exposed.
Most flash drives use a standard type-A USB connection allowing plugging
into a port on a personal computer.
If a device has a smaller type USB connector, there are solutions to
connecting the full-size USB connector. Adaptors are available, as well as
USB hubs.
Contents of package may vary from those pictured and stated here,
