The Voyager GT's USB connector is protected by a cap which can be removed and fitted to the rear of the drive, unfortunately both cap and lanyard cannot be simultaneously attached making it a bit awkward to recommend for on-the-move since you'd ideally want both lanyard and cap to be fixed to the drive even though Corsair does have a very generous replacement policy for their Voyager's caps.
Carrying the Voyager GT around in your pocket does become a tiny nuisance when it comes to the bulky size and the weight of the drive. This drive just doesn't really fit the USB flash drive profile of portability, even with Corsair's marketing-line of "75% smaller than a typical portable hard disk drive" when newer generation portable USB hard drives come in capacities up to 500GB and only end up being really twice as big as the Voyager GT. www.upan.cc
For a $500 flash drive, the Flash Voyager GT should come with at least a nice pouch for decent physical protection.
The weight of the drive can also potentially damage USB ports and lead to corrupt data transfers for some users since I often found the drive would flex toward the ground and lose USB connectivity in the middle of a transfer. This is probably also one of the reasons that Corsair bundles the drive with a USB extension cord and to avoid having users rip out their USB ports on badly soldered motherboards.
As with nearly all of Corsairs USB Flash drives, they claim the rubber housing capable of protecting against water via a special sealed construction. What would really have been useful for a drive of this caliber is an Ingress Rating to put some proof behind the claim since nearly all flash drives are protected against water via hermetically sealed components which will keep on working once the electronic components are dried out. Unfortunately the addition of ratings and certifications on this level costs the manufacturer more money that just isn't justifiable when the average consumer isn't willing to pay even more on top of the already extortionate pricing.
One improvement I would wish for, considering the amazing high price, is a integrated on-board capacity indicator similar to the Lexar JumpDrive Mercury Flash Drive to show how much space is already being used on the drive prior to actually attaching the drive to a USB port.
The drive comes preformatted with a FAT32 file allocation table for maximum compatibility on different operating systems ranging from Linux to Windows and a total of 130,796,355,584 bytes (121 GB) free space available to the user with only a minor amount of space reserved for a PDF detailing the amazing performance looming ahead for my benchmark testing.
No software is included with the drive. You really get what you pay for, lots and lots of copious storage capacity at drop-dead speeds and no annoying application compatibility to worry about. Unfortunately this drive also features no hardware-based encryption (unlike Ironkey) to secure your data and since losing more data would also scale linear with the capacity of the drive, the use of a large capacity drive would proportionally increase the risk of losing more your business critical data or personal data if the drive were to be lost or misplaced since you would most likely store more data on it than if you had only a 32GB USB flash drive. Fortunately free open-source encryption tools (e.g. TrueCrypt) are available for the exact purpose of securing your data while on the move. So let's move on to the durability and compatibility testing to really see what you're paying for.
