While I didn't back my car over the Survivor to "crash test" it, the drive has a solid feel, and certainly looks like it could stand up to quite a bit of abuse. The water resistance is a nice plus, given that the drive is meant to be carried around, leading to the possibility of dropping it in a puddle, toilet, swimming pool, etc. You can rest assured that the Survivor will handle it all.

USB flash drives are a wonderful invention, they are extremely small and lightweight, reliable, fast and they require very little power. The icing on the cake is if you have a USB capable computer (and who doesn't in 2007?) you can use them for portable storage. It is not all positive however, flash drives have tiny plastic bodies, which tend to make them very weak and they are easily lost. Enter Corsair, who have taken a very different approach to his storage medium recently, they have designed a drive which is extremely durable to physical damage - in fact Corsair claim it is almost indestructible. In making this drive so they have made the drive somewhat larger, which in theory should mean it will also be harder to lose.

Corsair has hit the market with another 'tough' flash drive, this time in the form of the Survivor series. The 8GB Corsair Flash Survivor GT isn't your typical "indoor cat" variety of USB 2.0 flash drive. In addition to boasting high transfer rates, this drive is enclosed in a tough aircraft grade shell that is sealed with o-rings providing water resistance to 200 meters.

Over the Internet this device has been shot, pounded with hammer and who knows what. Only unique test that would't risk my life as well as the Survivor's was the combination of water and pressure: a freezer. Mug filled with water and Corsair was put in to -20 C to find out if its really waterproof and can handle some pressure.

With USB flash drives going almost anywhere, memory manufacturers have realized this and are designing products that can withstand a fair amount of abuse whether it be leaving it in the washing machine or smashing it against the table a few times. While this quality of construction is good enough for most, for those that demand the absolute best Corsair Memory has designed an ultra rugged USB 2.0 flash drive. We threw it into an eight-foot deep chlorinated pool, boiled it in water for several minutes, and even beat it with a hammer, but was the Corsair Flash Survivor GT able to cope with all of these torturous events?
