storkus Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Per the rules, not mentioning names, but almost all UFD makers have stopped putting write protect switches on their sticks, including Corsair. I was wondering why this was done. I want to get a Voyager 64 GB or (preferably if/when it comes out) Survivor 64 GB so I can store multiple Linux distro install images, save important files I don't want to lose, and so on; for obvious reasons, once a known-clean image/file is on that drive I don't want to stick it in someone else's unknown-state computer if that machine can write to it and either infect executables and archives, or damage or destroy those important files (on accident or on purpose). In other words, I want to use it like a high-cap and more portable BD/CD/DVD-R. Has Corsair ever made a statement about this? Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I can't recall them ever putting switches on their flash drives actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 1, 2008 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 1, 2008 I am sorry but Wired is correct we have never used write protect switches on our Flash Voyager Products. However we did have a write protect switch on some of early SD card products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
