This is one extremely solid flash drive - perfect for when you absolutely have to protect your data from the elements. The case is machined aluminum with a screw top sealed by an O Ring. It is large - probably twice as large as a standard flash drive, but you get a really solid case for the extra heft. It also has rubber rings around the outside for shock relief. They can come off if you are not careful. As a test I loaded a 4 GB video file in about 1 minute 33 seconds - not the fastest USB 3.0 flash drive I've ever used, but respectable; certainly faster than the usual USB 2 drive. As others have said, the extra thickness is a problem if you are using this with a laptop. The actual flash drive is plastic and there is extra pressure on the USB plug if used on a flat surface - you need to be careful no to snap off the plug. Because of that I almost took off a point, but if you are careful it shouldn't present a problem. I have to say, I've never seen a more durable flash drive.One other small concern - this is really water-proof, but it is heavy. If it falls in water it will sink. If you are going to use it in or around water, you might want to rig up some sort of float to keep it from sinking.Corsair makes good memory - I've only had trouble with one memory chip on my PC a few years ago and they swapped it out for a brand new one immediately. It comes with a 5 year warranty!  Read Less
