Conclusion
These are two great USB2.0 flash data disks and you can't really go wrong with either one. To say one is a lot better than the other would be tough as each has features that the other does not. With that being said the Kingston drive was a lot faster and has the security feature, which I see as being much more useful than the durability of the Corsair Flash Voyager. Another big plus for me is the fact that the Kingston will fit into a USB connecter when there is another connection plugged in next to it, the Corsair cannot.
Even if the Kingston drive was 512MB, like the Corsair, it should have the same speedy transfer rates. This is how Kingston's testing and white papers explained things, which makes sense because the flash memory controller as the model we tested. This drive is a good deal more expensive than many other 512s out there but given its speed and security this unit is going to be the perfect thing for a segment of the market, especially business/executive/spy types who are traveling with important data. The Corsair Flash Voyager, due to its durability, fun looks, and cheaper price could be a better choice for the average consumer who is just looking to move data from one place to another, a move which may possible include submersion or a terminal velocity fall.
