I have to register a certain amount of disappointment with my Corsair purchases of late.
I purchased a USB Voyager, 4Gb thumb drive in February of this year and was happy with it until I found it started to corrupt my data. I reformatted it, but continued to get the same problem. I contacted eBuyer, whom I purchased it form and was informed that I had to deal with Corsair direct.
I filled in the form and received a RFC to return the drive to the US for repair or replacement. After waiting a number of weeks I contacted Corsair by email and this seemed to immediately despatch a replacement. This arrived a few days later. When I plugged it in, it asked to be formatted, but it wouldn't accept this on any of the machines I used.
I filled in a new RFC, referring to the old RFC and asking whether the procedure could be streamlined as I had been without the first drive for a month. I got no reply, just an RFC for returning this second, defective drive. I am still waiting for this to be replaced.
Whilst my Voyager was away, I have been using a Corsair SDHC card with the supplied Corsair card reader. Not an ideal solution, but as my work involves moving files and I didn't have any other thumb drives, it was the only option.
You can understand my disappointment when last week, the Corsair card reader has now stopped functioning. The adapter will not read the SD cards. As a result I have had to purchase another Corsair Voyager thumb drive as a interim replacement (am I mad?).
Perhaps you would care to comment on the reliability of these items, as frankly I'm quite disappointed.
