    When it comes to 32gb of data the word refurbished scares me :(

    So did I (the regular flash voyager). Unfortunately a month ago having lost the rubber cap (it gets loose very easily), I managed to snap the usb connection off the board in the key. Anyone buying one of these should be careful with it - without the rubber cap, it is fragile if kept on a key ring with a bunch of keys or shoved into a pocket. Thankfully I was only using it as a daily backup of data so I didn't lose anything important.

    I was about to say that the most lightly reason that they are refubished is due to the usb connection snapping off. It always happens to these drives.

    These things are bullet proof, mine has been through a couple of washes in my jeans pocket with no complaints.

    I lost the cap on my Voyager GT and Corsair sent me out two new ones free of charge.. they came from the US and they didn't even ask me for postage. Very good customer service.

    Seems to be out of stock (also the price when I click on the link is £31.99 + £2 pp). Its still a good price- but not nearly as tempting as £22+2pp......?

    I see you unthanked me for that :D. I didn't say it was brilliant and tbh I didn't see the specs also just looking for an alternative.

    With that range of 4mb on a 32GB stick I wouldn't touch it ;)

    If you broke it would you return it? Would they replace it :confused:
