Tech Quickie - Corsair Survivor Stealth USB Flash Drive - Please Leave Feedback

2012-11-11
this is my original course our survivor Drive it's pretty good it served me well for three years however there's a new kid on the block the survivor stealth takes everything that was good about the original survivor and kicks it up a notch the anodized aluminum housing looks stunning in a military-style matte black and the molded shot collars have been significantly thickened for better durability the keyring has also been upgraded to make it less likely to wear out over time once we open up the drive we find the USB 3 SuperSpeed interface and activity LED and the EPDM seal that makes this drive waterproof to up to 200 meters deep overall the housing is incredibly rugged and can handle up to 400 G's of impact impact ratings are fascinating but unless you actually test them they're totally meaningless impact tests are great but we also wanted to evaluate just how waterproof the survivor stealth is the answer very waterproof and no matter what your drives been through see this is the one we did our throwing tests on it is still ideal for covert ops where you don't want to get recognized so you've got to get in and out in a hurry so we're using the USB 3 transfer speeds in order to copy a 1 gig file of what you can see is clearly secret stuff off of a laptop now the drive will work in USB 2 mode however it will just copy slower so it's fully backwards compatible you just won't get the benefit of super speed USB 3 so you can see we're copying at over 50 megabytes per second and we are out of here this has been another tech quickie on the corsair survivor stealth I'm Linus and I hope to see you guys next time
