I'd like to think that I would never subject precious computer data and the media it's stored on to extreme environmental conditions--but that is 'perfect world' thinking! Corsair has the Flash Survivor with either a 4GB or 8GB USB 2.0 flash memory drive encased in a one-piece, milled aluminum housing. Totally water-resistant and shock proof to depths of 200 meters (650 feet) or 20 atmospheres, Flash Survivor has a durable rubber collar for additional shock and vibration.
The Flash Survivor GT 8GB at $129.99 MSRP is said to be five times faster than other drives with sustained rear/write speeds up to 34Mb/sec. It also comes pre-loaded with 256-bit AES encryption for partition password protection of you data should the device fall in the wrong hands.
The Flash Survivor 4GB at $59.99 MSRP, like the GT uses a NAND flash chip with enhanced dual channel and interleaved memory technologies. I received a 8GB Corsair and immediately put it to use copying all my precious data--Quicken files, client phone and address files, current writing articles (Word documents), legal papers, and much more. I'll take the Corsair with me when I leave home in case a disaster hits my house and computer! This drive is faster than other Jump drives I've owned. It's even faster than a 12GB USB hard drive I use at the studio for interim backups.
All Corsair products are backed by a 10-year limited warranty complete with customer support via telephone, email, forum and TechSupport Xpress troubleshooting guide. For more information on Corsair Flash Survivor USB drives, visit www.corsair.com/corsair/flash_memory.html.
