I was testing my new Voyager 8GB, and it's performance was a bit strange. I compared it to my new OCZ ATV 4GB.
The OCZ ATV 4GB is on the Left, The 8GB Voyager is on the right.

If you look at the voyager, you can see unexplained performance. Just random drops. I just want some opinions on this.

Well, I figured it was strange, also, are you using your case or motherboard side USB ports with those figures? Just wondering where I can place my USB stick to get max speed lol. Both of these sticks I just tested fair better then my PNY 4GB Vista Edition. God it's slow.

i'm using a laptop that has 2 hi-speed ports and 1 full-speed port.
any hi-speed/2.0 port should be fine.

I had a Voyager GT that was slower than the standard Voyager. Nice rep chap on the Corsair forum board told me to format and do a test with Hdtune a ( I was using HDtach) and to RMA if results were the same. I haven't got around it it yet ( lazy SOB ) but the 10 year warranty makes me all fuzzy and warm inside.
Some of the pendrives differ in performance across the size range 2GB sticks often outperformed 8GB sticks for example.

Typically, lower density flash drives perform better. For example, a 2GB Voyager GT will crush an 8 or 16GB Voyager any day. Part of this is due to the more stringently binned flash used in the GT series, and part of it is just due to the performance decreases across higher densities.

But I'm not talking about the Voyager GT lol.
