Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted May 28, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted May 28, 2009 NO that is not exactly what I stated. And yes if a reseller is not on the list but they purchased from an authorized source they would be considered and authorized reseller while not being officially on the list. And the Question was how do I protect my self from purchasing a fake product and this was my answer to only purchase from resellers listed on our site. That does not mean to say that a reseller that you know and trust who may have our products for sale who is not listed would not be covered. I think you are putting more onto what I stated. And Our warranty policy is quite clear in reference to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Deals Direct have removed all Corsair product from their online store. I tried to use my credit from the 64GB for the 32GB instead. Looks like I'll just cash in the credit & get it sent via cheque. Takes ten days... still one deal left on these "12 month" models http://www.dealsdirect.com.au/p/corsair-8gb-flash-voyager-usb-2-0-drive/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotrod Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 Looks like Deals Direct are still selling 16GB "refurbished" drives, so they have obviously not learnt their lesson - link: http://www.dealsdirect.com.au/p/corsair-16gb-flash-voyager-usb-2-0-drive/ I recently purchased a Genuine 64GB Corsair Flash Voyager from AusPCMarket (who list speeds), despite the expensive price tag of AU$238. I still think these drives are way overpriced in Australia, as this should be no more than say AU$150 - http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/show_product_info.php?input[product_code]=AL-CMFUSBHC-64GB&input[category_id]=1735 At least I have a genuine product and a 10 year warranty. Whats the best utility to test out the transfer rate of my new drive and should it be formatted as "exFAT" (Windows 7) or NTFS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted June 22, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted June 22, 2009 The file system you use is up to you, but if you use "exFAT" it will only be usable in Windows 7 systems. Please try the HD-Bench software to test the performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotrod Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 The file system you use is up to you, but if you use "exFAT" it will only be usable in Windows 7 systems. Please try the HD-Bench software to test the performance. FYI: With Windows 7 when you choose format you only have the choice of ExFAT (Default) or NTFS, no other alternative. So looks like if you want to do a FAT32 format you must rely on Windows Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted June 23, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted June 23, 2009 You would have to use WinXP or Vista to format it with Fat 32 and use fat32formatter. Other wise it will only see 32 Gig max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brightpixie Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I bought a flash voyager at the end of 2009. It worked for a week and then failed. Tried on various computers but no luck. Paid $100 or so to a MAC store for mine. I certainly didn't think it was a counterfeit, but must have been since it failed so quickly. It's sad that these counterfeit flash drives are out there. I did report the problem to MAC store, but they say my warranty is with Corsair. Told Corsair about the problem. They apologized and offered to send me a replacement, but since I had personal data on this drive, I wasn't comfortable with sending it back to the company. Willing to send the cap back. :) I'd not buy another corsair. At present, I'm out my $100 and the material that was stored on the flashdrive. And if you're wondering why I didn't have a backup. This flashdrive was being used at the time to backup a reformat of my computer. Didn't have time to recopy what was lost before the drive failed.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted March 15, 2010 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 15, 2010 I would try and format it from a command Prompt and thats strange on my system I did not have any problems formatting Fat32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedTrap47 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Szwesta (EBAY and AMAZON) is also selling counterfeit 64GB CMFUSBHC-64GB Flash Voyager thumb drive. Color of ""Flash Voyager" is wrong Cap and body are half as thick as a normal corsair product I pulled the board out with very little effort.
