Great review!

Nasya should get one of those...

The spin cycle feat was amazing...

LOL! Yeah.. and I actually forgot to take it out during the spin cycle.

It's pretty tough. I have it hanging around my neck now as I travel around Macau and China. Very useful.

Why left it hanging on your neck?

Testing The Flash Voyager section

Will you take a look at that? The 128MB Kingston DataTraveler was over 11.5X as fast as the 512MB Corsair Voyager at large files!

The Flash Voyager took under 11 seconds to transfer 100MB of large files while the DataTraveler took over

126 seconds at the same task. What a stark difference.

That bolded sentence. Shouldn't that say the Corsair one was faster than the Kingston one?

Whoops! That's a big mistake!

What I meant was the 512MB Corsair Voyager was over 11.5X faster than the 128MB Kingston DataTraveler.

Thanks for pointing it out to me!

No problemo. Stumbled upon the review when a poster asked something about it over @ the HoH (meesa admin

). Can't remember what though. Just noticed though that it isn't on the Flash Review list there, I'll poke Ram Guy to add it on the current list ASAP.
