Corsair CMFSL3X1-128GB 128 GB Voyager Slider X1 USB 3.0 Flash Drive

Nice and fast write but the read like any fast stick is rather slow.I got a constant 180mBps write spead but only 33 constant read spead. This was writtent to a Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB.Worth 5 stars for the price and I am very happy with it.It is natural to have a slower read speed anyway and that is why they always show the write speed on the listings and not the read speed.I think it is a lovely well made stick and is not too bulky. L 55mm - W 25mm - D - 12mm. Same when it's open or closed.It is solid and not flimsy like some of the good makes but of course CORSAIR is in my opinion the best.It lives up to it's spec and does have a very fast write speed and that is dependent on what hard drive you have or what rig you have.Compatible also with USB2 but do not expect it o be fast on a USB2 setup.I recommend these and mine was the 128GB version.

I bought the 256GB X1 model and I must say I'm pretty impressed. Nice and robust and really quite small for this amount of storage..though you could find it a pinch on width if you have other ports very close to the USB 3 one on your equipment (the drive is about twice the width of a USB connector, so needs roughly half the width of the USB socket each side free) An excellent backup device for the money...and it's seriously quick.On a desktop Windows 7 64bit I7 with USB 3.0 it is a pretty fast drive, particularly on reads, but on a new Windows 10 I7 XPS 9550 Notebook with USB 3.1 it really flies. As you can see in the screen snips. Recommended.

I bought this 256GB USB stick to put all of my music 140GB on it for playing in my car (2011 BMW 5 series with USB audio). It works perfectly, all of my music (800 albums) in MP3 and WMA format (CD quality but works on BMW USB Audio / iDrive) copied onto it and it is pre-formatted as FAT 32, the format required by BMW USB Audio so I didn't have to do any formatting for it to work. FAT 32 normally has a limit of 32GB but this is FAT32 formatted and the full capacity of 256GB is available.I would not hesitate in buying another one, the capacity is huge and works like a dream. Can't quite believe this size is available for a very reasonable price of £50.

Exactly as described and I find Corsair flash drives / memory sticks seem to be a better quality and more reliable than some cheaper generic brands. They also can be faster in their read and write speeds. It can be attached to a lanyard or key ring. The LED is visible but is quite discreet or not too bright which some people much prefer. The slider design is ideal - no end cap to loose.

I am not technically minded and also using tonight on a new computer I have nothing to compare with however I can say it is very small and neat. Smaller than expected i.e very approx just 2.25" long and about 0.75" wide. I bought the X2. I was keen to have the slide mechanism and that is firm but easy to use. I bought Corsair based on the computer man using his 500GB hard drive to down load my docs/music/pictures to my new computer. From his hard drive a total of 114GB took 40mins the other night. Tonight it took longer. 58GB of docs took 1 hour but I was using the X2 in a USB hub so seeing what difference it made plugged straight into computer I'm pleased to say I got better speeds in time. 15mins to download 10GB of pictures and then 40 mins to download 114GB of music. Like i say not technically minded so am probably talking in laymans terms but all info successfully transferred and if I note anything relevant as I continue to use it in the months ahead I will come back and add comments. Overall a neat product.

Great purchase! Corsair have done it again... I cannot fault them as a company... I have their Vengeance and Vengeance LPX RAM in both Gaming PC's at my home... also have Corsair SSD's and the K70 Gaming Keyboard so I'm very much aware about their brand and the quality that comes with the brand Corsair and that doesn't stop when it comes to making smaller devices such as this Flash Drive...It's a great size, not too big that it's an obstruction and not too small to the point where it can be lost... It's 23.3mm x 11.1mm x 54.3mm. The Flash Drive itself is 32GB and is formatted in FAT32. The USB has a sliding mechanism to help keep the USB 3.0 protected and undamaged when it is being carried around which initially from the package it is very stiff, but as soon as it's been used it weakens up so that it can slide in and out easier and clicks/locks when fully open or closed.Previously to this, I had a OTG memory stick by Lexar which had both a USB 3.0 and a Micro USB adapter but it soon broke after 2 years of use and around 3 weeks into it, the sliding mechanism broke and so did the Micro USB Adapter.... this forced me to purchase this flash drive which I use this flash drive for school work only, however it's more than capable enough to have movies and other forms of media stored onto it and it being used to watch movies or play music from... I ran a test on CrystalDiskMark which scores will fluctuate up and down and it is also dependant on the PC it is on... however my PC has been on all day and has multiple programmes running also using the CPU and the scores still came back impressive and MORE than enough for Files, Pictures, Documents, Music and Movies. When the USB is in use, there is a blue LED which indicates whether the USB is reading or writing any data and there is also a plastic loop by the LED so that you can tie a rope or clip to it putting it onto your set of keys so that you don't loose it.Overall... I highly recommend this product... If you are looking for a durable, high quality Flash Drive, then look no further... you are investing into one of the best brands when it comes to computing and storage and the form and function of the USB make it a great purchase over other brands which are making very small USB's and also cheaply made USB's which will just get lost and misplaced... Also there are variants ranging from 16GB up to 128GB so you are really spoilt for choice, depending on how fat your wallet is :)

definitely well worth it!! absolutely superb and super quick at transferring movies, videos and documents etc... and fits on my key ring like a treat. rock solid construction with a reassuring click when you "pull out" the usb part and it locks into place and like wise when you click it back into its casing... my only regret.... i should have bought the 512 GB version.
