Waterproof performance in a durable aluminium enclosure. Corsair is out with a new Survivor flash drive, let's take a look.

Today I will be taking a look at the Corsair Flash Survivor . The Survivor comes in two sizes, a 4GB and 8GB version. We have the 8GB version on our test bed. Let's take a look and see just how durable it is. Corsair have been making high performance memory modules and products since 1994.

Comes with encryption software; 8GB of storage space; Water proof; Durable case

Slipping rubber grip / anti shock piece

The Corsair Survivor appears to be everything that I had hoped it would be. Only time and use will tell, but I will be depending on this to not lose data.

I've had this for awhile now and it has worked great. Speed and size are perfect for me. It is a little bulky, but I keep it on my edc ring so I don't need it to be tiny. So far the o-ring seal has been excellent. The aluminum case is holding up very well. I have only noticed scuffs.

I've purchased a number of these Corsair USB Stealth drives. This being the highest capacity to date. They never fail. Got it on sale Recommended buy!

Capacity USB 3 Aluminum case Got it on sale

None Expensive when not on sale

I purchased an earlier version of this drive years ago and only recently replaced it as a cautionary step. The joke seems to be on me as less than a year after purchase the new drive suddenly died. While these might have been good drives when they first came out, they are garbage now.

This is more expensive than flimsy plastic USB drives but you can just feel the quality. I bough t this because I was fed up with USB drives becoming unreliable after a few uses due to the connector flexing.

I purchased this for my husband who walks several miles every day. He wanted something he could carry on his person and be certain it could withstand perspiration, rain, temperature extremes, etc. So far, this drive has held up well. He purchased a dog tag type chain and wears it under his shirt.

This State of the Art flash drive is great for me as I need to back up not only my home computer, but my work one with it. It's VERY durable and quick to upload onto. And at this price, I would recommend it to anyone!

"...damaged, I'm fairly clumsy... Anyway the Corsair Survivor looked absolutely ideal. It's crafted from corrugated anodised aluminium so it is unlikely to be crushed. The stick actually has a fine threaded screw, which is very nicely made to get it out which is cool; these have rubber seals in...

Very rugged; waterproof; shockproof etc .

Some may get annoyed with unscrewing it
