Corsair Flash Survivor (8GB) July 25th, 2007 | by Jason Tomczak
Full Review - Conclusion
Conclusion
The average price of $125 USD for the 8GB Survivor GT is a little steep. Less durable 8GB USB drives sell for about $70 USD online. If you don't need extra strong physical protection of your data, go with a cheaper plastic drive. If you know you'll be in situations where the flash drive could get wet, dirty, trampled, dropped, or submerged, then by all means, spend the extra $55 USD and know your data is safe.
It seems like the Survivor GT would be an ideal data-protection product for the military, police, search and rescue teams, and those active in water sports. Even though I don't fit into a single category above, I remain very impressed with the Survivor GT and would consider it an invaluable asset in my tech tool kit.
Pros:
• Extra strong body
• 8GB capacity
• Fast data transfers
Cons:
• Bulky & heavy
• More expensive per GB than other drives
