Carrying your documents, photos, even multimedia files just became a lot safer. TODAY’S TMJ4’s Technology Guru Scott Steele shows us the latest in portable digital storage. Millions of people have replaced briefcases and file folders with a great gadget of the digital age: a USB flash drive, often called thumb drives because of their size. Scott remembers doing a report about the technology when the first ones came out and could carry a whopping 256 megabytes of information. Now, there are units that can store more than 100 times that. You see, there are flash drives, and then there are flash drives. Meet the Corsair Survivor. Just like from the open of the old TV show the Six Million Dollar Man, we can make it better than it was…better…stronger…faster. The unit is stored in a unique housing made from aircraft grade aluminum. The company claims it will make it through everything from big falls to water exposure. Time to find out. First, Scott Steele climbed to the roof of the TODAY’S TMJ4 station and threw Survivor to the ground. Next, a swim sounds good. A quick dip in the pool at the JCC. Finally, since it was wet, how about a couple minutes on high in the drier to test the heat and vibration capacity of the rubber molded collar shielding design. After all this, Scott plugged in Survivor back to his computer and found all the files he previously added completely in tact, but this is a best of breed for more than it's durability. The creators engineered this to be up to five times faster than ordinary drives which means you could transfer the same movie file in a minute and a half instead of waiting almost six minutes with lesser technology. Survivor also boasts preloaded security applications to keep all your important files safe from prying eyes. You'll pay a bit of a premium for all the features, but if a durable drive is what you want to keep your valuable data safe, peace of mind may be worth it. You can find the Corsair Survivor from a variety of online stores, and they've just created a 32 gigabyte version which can store dozens of high definition movies.
