So this is different vs their back to school sale right?

Not a bad price on the Corsair 32GB USB 3.0 flash drive, but since its man refurbished, only 30 day warranty. Anyone have experience with this or know if its reliable enough?

I bought the 16GB refurbed Voyager a couple of weeks ago. After about a week I pulled the lid off and the usb connector came with it. I'm not touching Corsair flash drives again... But of course, YMMV, I just happened to get very little mileage

This stick is widely known for its high failure rate. I'd stay away from it, especially since it's man. refurb.

I heard if you RMA it (even if it works fine), they will send you a brand new one instead (not refurbished). Maybe worth the postage to send your drive.

No idea on the refurbished drives
but
Tried (3) brand new Corsair USB 3.0 flash drives a few months back.
Two failed to work consistently. One failed to work at all. Returned all three back to the store.

Seagate USB 3.0 3TB External hot if you've had better luck with that than WD (not in my case.) Brother printer 2240D lukewarm if you don't need wireless and can either hook it up to one computer (preferably your only one) or if you can fiddle with a routers - I believe the printer is quite similar to the 2270DW which usually goes for $30 more and that has wireless which will accept print jobs from multiple devices.

even though the corsair stick is a great deal. I'm staying away.
I've yet to buy a perfectly working corsair product to date. Even the ram that I had exchanged under warranty came back defective... go figure. Maybe it's my bad luck.

I guess it depends on the type of product and which manufacturer they decide to go with. For example, Corsair's Seasonic-made power supplies are pretty reliable.
