8 GB Corsair Voyager Slow Write Performance (Again)

[Dxun]

Hi,

 

a couple of weeks ago I bought the aforementioned model of your Corsair Voyager, but he suffered of pretty much the same problem that was described here -> http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79464.

 

After doing everything as Corsair Support advised in that thread it yielded exactly zero results, so I was forced to invoke the warranty and return it back to my vendor.

 

I got my replacement in a couple of days, but the problem is - the stick is even worse!

 

I have ~13 MB read speed and 5-7 MB write speed which is, compared to your 2 GB model, really sluggish. I confirmed these figures on three different computers and two OS (just as I did the previous time).

 

I also ran through the procedure of formatting the stick a couple of times with SD Card Formatter but I came up short with that - the transfer rates are again pretty bad.

 

So, three questions:

1) Is there anything I can do to remedy this besides invoking the RMA (again)?

2) Am I eligible for RMA with this poor speeds?

3) Is there any chance we could actually know what are the official R/W speeds of Corsair Voyager products?

 

Thank you very much for your time

 

With regards

The Read for this drive is a bit slow and only thing I can suggest is to have it replaced.

Any chance you can provide your RMA# or case # so we may be able to contact you? =)

Since I am dealing with a local vendor in Croatia (http://www.links.hr), I seriously doubt that you'll have much use of RMA# or case# :)

 

Any official info on these flash specs?
