More Corsair reviews , RRP: AU$279.00

The good:

  • Possibly the most protected flash drive ever
  • Huge capacity
  • Water resistant up to 200m
  • Very generous warranty

The bad:

  • Might damage furniture when dropped

The bottomline:

Corsair's Survivor is a flash drive that's nigh on impervious, and sports 200m water resistance.

Editors' rating:

9/10

Users' rating:

My $30 2gb Cruzer Micro went through the washing machine and came out the otherside, all data intact, still works fine.

It is way slower than my 8gb Cosair Flash Voyager. Transferring 1gb on the Voyager took less than one minute, on the Survivor it took over two minutes :(

      Iomega Media Xporter 160GB

      Iomega dresses the Media Xporter in a fancy casing and tries to pass it off as the ideal companion for your games console, but really, it's just an average external hard drive.

      Toshiba USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive

      The Toshiba USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive is an attractive drive with a decent price. Its size makes it great for travel, but we can't recommend it due to its lack of performance.

      Conceptronic's Grab'n'Go NAS is a solid offering that comes with enough features to keep the home user happy.

      The ReadyNAS range is a perfect addition to a household that needs not just storage, but control over that storage. Now if only Netgear could do something about the price.

      If you're in the market for Blu-ray authoring, Sony has produced a decent device. Everyone else will most likely stick to their vastly cheaper DVD burners for a little bit longer.
