I bought a 16GB Corsair Flash Voyager GT USB3 a few months ago. Let me tell you it is horrible. The thing is unreliable in retaining stored data. Within a month files are corrupted and unreadable. The most telling are the thousands of pictures I archive and using Windows thumbnails view I quickly spot the files that are corrupt. I would say 20% are ruined. I've reformatted the drive three times in the last few months and stored my files again and every time, a month later files are corrupt. What bothers me is the drive doesn't notify me that something has gone awry. Why isn't there some kind of CRC check implemented when reading the data like with optical media?
I wouldn't want to open up hundreds of documents just to check they are still OK. The thumbnails view of archived pictures pretty much told me the drive is unreliable.
