Corsair Flash Survivor GT  (Source: Corsair)
New drives are rugged and have lots of storage space

We always seem to need more storage on our computers, iPods, and any other gadget that we use for storing digital content or other media. The flash drive is no different; the drives fill up faster than expected by many users leaving them having to delete files or buy a new drive.

Corsair announced a couple new flash drives today in its rugged Flash Survivor GT family the two new drives offer huge storage capacities of 32GB and 64GB. The drives feature the same rugged design and construction the Flash Survivor line is known for. The new flash drives are water resistant to 200 meters and have a shock dampening collar and EPMD seal. The flash drive itself is secured inside an aluminum tube that provides the protection.

“The Flash Survivor GT is the ultimate flash drive for users requiring both high speed and extreme ruggedness,” said John Beekley, VP of Technical Marketing at Corsair. “These drives will carry your data and media into the harshest environment and still provide rock-solid protection.”

Corsair offers no performance figures for the new flash drives at this time. Compatibility information is also unknown. However, the Flash survivor GT will presumably support the same systems and the standard Flash Survivor. That would mean support for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems. The standard version of the drive is also bootable.

The poster is from the TV show "Black Sheep Squadron", which told the fictionalized exploits of real WWII marine fighter squadron VMF-214, "The Black Sheep" (so nicknamed due to the way the squadron was formed from unassigned pilots). VMF-214 flew the Vought F-4U 'Corsair'.


Er, um.....what??

Okay, got it figured out. Let's try it this way:

Punctuation Nazis, to the rescue!! ;)
