Corsair Introduces the Flash Survivor Series
Corsair has just launched a new series of ultra-durable USB flash drives, nicknamed Survivor. Building on the massive success of the Flash Voyager line-up, the new (limited availability) Flash Survivor is an extremely durable, water resistant, drop-tested flash USB memory drive. The Corsair Flash Survivor USB drives are available in 4GB and 8GB capacities. The Survivor drives are made of extremely strong CNC-milled, 6061 Type 2 Aluminum, the same used in aircraft parts manufacturing. They are water resistant to 200m, protected from vibration or impact damage and work flawlessly with any USB 2.0 certified peripheral computer port (backward compatible with USB1.1). All Corsair Suvivor drives are also protected by a 10 year limited warranty.

How thick is the alu? I want 4mm thick alu..
they use 6061 aluminum (which isnt exactly aluminum, but an aluminum alloy with magnesium and silicon) to make mag-lite flashlites (among other things), and i've run over my mag-lite once with a car and it only scratched the surface...
If you're Bear Grylls with a laptop, this drive is for you.
bit of a waste of time in my opinion.
Unless its bomb proof, fire proof, can take being run over by a military tank proof, nuke proof, radiation proof, & lightning proof then theres no point in paying for it.
but what kind of an idiot can you be to take a USB mem stick to a f**king god damn swimming pool?
If you need this, you might wanna find something less dangerous [to your thumb drive] to do.
