Even the USB drives need their share of rugged make and that is what Corsair has in mind. With sensitive data normally stored in them, toughening them up through a super-strong aluminum casing is a good idea. And if you want one that can really withstand the extreme conditions, the 64GB Flash Survivor USB drive from Corsair should be something worth having. The drive is comes with a molded, shock-dampening collar and EPDM seal, which provides water-resistance to a depth of 200 meters.

This drive has already been tested through the worst scenarios which include being run over, dropped, baked and boiled. The Corsair 64GB Flash Survivor USB drive is now available through Corsair authorized dealers which may want to consider coming out with larger storage drives considering the files people put in these portable solutions today.
