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.

The usb stick is rugged, feels well made and is fast! This replaced my old 120G sandisk. this one looks to be static proof i hope.

I love how strong and robust the construction is, waterproof with an O-ring, etc. It feels like you could run it over and it would be fine. It isn't too heavy due to aluminum construction, but not small in size or light either.

Durability; durability; durability

Large size..; but that's what makes it durable

We tested the 32GB Survivor, which costs a heart-stopping $229.99 list-but that works out to $7.19 per GB, a much better deal than the 4GB version at $12.50 per GB ($49.99 list), if you care to look at it that way. The Survivor also has 8GB ($79.99 list) and 16GB ($129.99 list) versions.

The most durable drive going; Ten-year limited warranty

Cap is as big as the drive; lose it and you lose the durability

We previously reviewed the 8GB version of the Survivor and were impressed enough to give it a Kick Ass award, due in part to its ability to survive our extensive series of durability tests unscathed.

Indestructible formfactor makes this a go-to device for your next secret mission

Some minor issues have yet to be fixed

I leave this review with mixed feelings regarding the Corsair 32GB Flash Survivor USB drive.  I have nothing but praise regarding the abilities of the Flash Survivors physical abilities.

Extremely strong because of CNC-milled; anodized aircraft-grade aluminum; Water resistant holds true; Can take lots of beatings and it holds up like nothing happened; 10-year warranty and RMA process is simply and fast; Read speeds are pretty fast

Write speed not fast enough for something that looks military; The military is strong and swift, the Corsair Flash Survivor is strong but not swift, First unit prematurely died on me in 2-3 months time, Could be too bulky for some, Could be too pricey for some

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

Extra strong case; 8GB capacity; fast data transfers

Bulky and heavy; price per GB is spendy

Tough, lightweight, and featuring excellent read speed, the Corsair Flash Survivor is a very capable USB drive for klutzes and outdoor types alike. Priced for less than $50 at select online retailers, the Corsair Flash Survivor doesn't offer security features, but casual users looking for large...
