Log on to a PC and it allows me to use it.

I use these memory sticks daily for transfering materials to clients and I have found that they have a life of about a year. Got caught out in the past so now I have two or three on rotation.

I had three Corsair sticks, 2Gb, 4Gb and 16Gb. All of them packed up at the same time. I don't remember doing anything unusual with them.

Luckily I had a backup of the data and Corsair's warranty support is top notch, so I now have a 4Gb, 8Gb and 16Gb as replacements.
