Q. What happens if you put a USB memory stick in a washing machine?
A. It comes out looking shiny new! At least that's certainly the case with my Corsair Flash Voyager. Having been subject to a full wash and spin cycle I partly expected the drive to malfunction next time it was plugged in especially as the area under the protective cap was slightly damp when it came out the wash. Fortunately the Flash Voyager's features a protective rubber body really does work.
Having used the memory stick a number of times over the past few days it is performing as normal - read rate of around 24mb/sec and write rate of around 14mb/sec. Nice to see the manufacturer's claims of water resistance are absolutely spot on.
