Privateers nothing attack

I have this memory stick for many months. Corsair is a very famous brand in flash memory (RAM PC and USB) for years, even exceeding Kingston.
There are several years the Corsair Flash Voyager 1GB and 2GB models were the fastest in the market. But for reasons of cost, the type of memory used is no longer the same: it was before the SLC, fast and reliable, now they type in the MLC type.

The result is frankly disappointing transfer speeds. Use this USB drive as TrueCrypt encrypted drive for its Linux bootable or for portable applications fall under pure suicide ... eg 20 to 30 seconds to launch Firefox Portable ...
If, against this is to store the data ocasionnelles as DVD movies or some Office documents, the key is OK.

To add to this defect that the key is very large: it blocks access to a second USB port if it is adjacent.
The cap is easily lost.

In the end I am very disappointed with this USB key that I rather compares to an old floppy disk or CD-ROM a hard drive.

If your priority is speed rather take a 5400Tm external hard drive of any brand. If your wish is more focused on the temporary storage mélé to frequent traveling, the key is for you.
