Corsair's new Flash Survivor drives are shock-proof and water-proof up to 200 meters
Corsair is adding their own bit of flair to USB 2.0 flash drives with the introduction of its Flash Survivor family. The Flash Survivor drives feature 256-bit encryption and can withstand the elements.
The Flash Survivor's Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) seals allow the drives to be waterproof up to 200 meters. Computer Numerical Control (CNC) milled aluminum coupled with rubber molded collar shielding gives the Flash Survivor its shock and vibration resistance.
"Corsair has built the Flash Survivor family specifically for customers with a "Bring It On!" attitude, someone who doesn’t want to worry if his/her equipment can stand up to the active lifestyle they lead," said Corsair VP of Marketing Jack Peterson. "Storing your valuable information on a USB flash drive capable of weathering the storm of everyday life while ensuring your data is safe -- that is what Flash Survivor is all about."
There will initially be two variants of the new USB 2.0 drives made available: the 4GB Flash Survivor ($59.99) and the 8GB Flash Survivor GT ($129.99). The Flash Survivor GT will offer read speeds of 34MB/sec and write speeds of 23MB/sec.
The Corsair Flash Survivor drives are available now from authorized retailers and come with a 10-year limited warranty.
