Killer Product: Corsair Flash Survivor GT
June 16, 2008My 4Gb flash drive has this unusual habit of getting into the strangest places where it shouldn’t be – in between a sandwich, in my shoes, in a car compartment (I don’t even own a car). Yesterday, it somehow managed to find its way to the washing machine. How it got there was completely beyond me. I guess while I was too darn wasted last Friday night, the damn thing crawled out of my shirt pocket and jumped right into the washer. With my shirt!
I was so eager to plug said flash disc into my laptop to check if my precious files were still present, but I decided to let it dry. The chance of the flash disc getting fried will rise up to 80 percent if electrical current gets into the wet internal circuitry. After waiting while cursing and cursing some more, I plugged the flash drive into my laptop and LO AND BEHOLD! It’s still in one piece! It was as if the two-hour long period of getting tumble-washed, bleached, and spin-dried did nothing to it, except perhaps getting rid of a Trojan virus or two. I have no clue about its manufacturer, nor from which country it was made (I got it on sale from CD-R King), but I bet the letters i, b, and d inscribed on its surface stand for “Invincible Badass Device”.
It swam through a puddle of beer, laundry detergent, and probably vomit, got spin-dried, and all it said afterwards was “Whatever.”
