Watertight, Rugged USB Stick Can Weather the High Seas

Get your head out of the cloud! Sure Internet connections are prevalent. And, yeah, remote storage is only getting cheaper. But even Moore himself would likely concede that some data is too precious not to be backed up and carried with your IRL.

In that case, you’ll want to be prepared for anything. This USB drive is, quite frankly, more resilient than a Terminator. We swam with ours in the ocean, left it in the fridge for a couple hours, and even dropped it from a moving vehicle. The Corsair—and our data—survived it all.

The casing is made from anodized, CNC-milled, aircraft-grade aluminum. So the Survivor weighs just 1.4 ounces but is immune to rough handling (up to 1,500 g’s) and temperatures from -13F to 167F. And the screw cap’s watertight EPDM seal is certified for submerges down to 650 feet. Need more? You can back up an entire 16GB iPad on this little guy

WIRED: Slip-resistant ridges on the casing. Narrow profile doesn’t block adjacent USB ports when you plug it in. Read-Writes at 34MBps/28MBps. 10-year warranty. USB extension cable and dog-tag chain included. Also available in 32GB and 64GB models.

TIRED: Dropping it is fine. But with the circular design, you’ll want to avoid dropping it on hills. Dog-tag chain or no, it’s too big to be comfortably worn like a pendant.
