Intro
Now that LCD screens have found their way even to mass storage devices -
Corsair ReadOut we reviewed earlier, it's hard to
think of anything new to add to a USB Flash device. Corsair keeps surprising, now with Survivor concept of tough USB memory
with nice 8 GB capacity. It's advertised to be very durable and faster than your average USB memory device.
Let's find out if any of this is true.

The Survivor
Ordinary package, less ordinary content.
Starting from the package, this product is rather military styled. Specifications are printed on top of
a camo pattern. Memory itself looks like some sort of scifi ammunition. Nice addition is the USB extension
cord, though it's rather short if you have your PC located under the desk. If your pockets are filled with other
cadgets, Survivor can be carried on your neck using the supplied necklace. Physically the memory feels
very solid and why wouldn't it: it's made out from aluminum. Stickers on both sides take away some of that high
quality feeling. These stickers start peeling of immediately when in use.

Opened
See the thin o-ring on the base which makes the case waterproof? Big wide rubber rings are mainly for
looks, they don't seal anything. Opening mechanism is very simple but strong: threads. Blue led indicates
that there is
data being transfered. Physically this flash memory is very convincing excluding the cheap stickers.
When dropped, the floor is more likely to take damage than the Survivor itself.
