Corsair Introduces Flash Survivor USB Drives

Corsair launched a new rugged line of USB 2.0 flash drives. Called Flash Survivor and available in two capacities, 4 GB and 8 GB, the new drives are water-resistant to 200 Meters (650 Feet)/20 Atmospheres and shock proof.

Flash Survivor is water-resistant, CNC-milled aluminum encased, and shock-proof to safely store user’s information and files in the most demanding environments.

Crosair Flash Survivor Features Include:

• Water Resistant to 200 Meters (650 Feet) / 20 Atmospheres Sealed with an EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) waterproof seal, Flash Survivor is
  designed to provide 200 meters of water resistant durability. During these tests, no leaking or compromised integrity of the data on the drive was found.
• Shock Proof – Triple Point Protection
  Flash Survivor features triple-point protection against shock and impact:
  o Encased in CNC (Computer Numerical Control) milled aluminum (as found in aircraft
  part production) ensures consistency in material quality, thereby guaranteeing the USB
  drive’s toughness.
• Additional protection from shock and vibration is achieved through the use of rubber molded collar shielding. When dropped, the durable rubber absorbs the impact force to prevent damage to the inner drive and the USB connector.
• Engineered outer metal tube with two end caps provides enforcement to the hollow tube and prevents it from collapsing when abused.
• 5 Times faster than other drives (GT version).
• Pre-loaded with a security application with 256bit AES encryption, the most secure encryption algorithms available.

Corsair claims that the GT version of Flash Survivor is 5 times faster than other drives, with read/write performance up to 34MB/sec.  Also the USB drives are delivered pre-loaded with security application that enables users to create a password-protected partition.

The recommended price of 8 GB version is $129.99 USD and $59.99 USD for the 4 GB drive.
