I am extremely disappointed with the Voyager Mini 4GB. It is the only flash drive that I have ever had a problem with. As mentioned by SOUZOU below, it just doesn't work sometimes. According to Tech Service 3% are just bad drives. Thank goodness brain surgeon's don't use this drive. Recommended fix: spend several hundred with a data recovery source. Thanks Corsair, but no thanks. Take your RMA 1750360 and RAM it. Thank goodness I am not by myself. I am extremely disappointed with the Voyager Mini 4GB.

That is a lack of vulnerability, as can be found in other conventional sticks. On a conventional USB stick, the connector is the weak point. It is likely to show bad connection between connector and the stick itself, when handled roughly (or just carried in your pocket). Not so with this Corsair stick, where the connector and the memory are one piece of hardware, and therefor less vulnerable. The Corsair offers a far bigger advantage over speed.

The drive letter issue is easily fixed: I never used Windows98 (95 to XP) but I think this should still work in that OS. Go to computer management - probably can find it under the control panel or right click the My computer icon on the desktop. Click the plus next to the storage section This should list all drives connected to your computer You should see the word removable under the flash drive right click on that drive and choose change Drive letter paths Give an unused drive letter then click OK twice. That should cure it. If you don't see the drive there - test that usb connection on your computer with some other usb device. maybe the plug is bad.

Click the plus next to the storage section
This should list all drives connected to your computer
You should see the word removable under the flash drive
right click on that drive and choose change Drive letter paths
Give an unused drive letter
then click OK twice.

That should cure it.
If you don’t see the drive there – test that usb connection on your computer with some other usb device. maybe the plug is bad.

I have just bought this nice looking 4 G Flash Voyager mini (Corsaire). It is written on it being compatible Windows 98, but it is not recognized by my computer. Neither could I hence find the fitting driver on the net. If somebody could give me a hint I would be very grateful to him. thanks in advance, Souzou Hello!

Ofcourse you can use synthetic benchmarks but you need real benchmarks as well. Also you only used 1 benchmark. You cannot call this a review, sorry to say...
