Tough USB Memory Stick

[Kasakato]

I have seen a bunch of "tough" memory sticks recently.

Which ones really are strong? Im looking for something that I can toss around on a key chain without the fear of it being crushed or scratched to death.

Sandisk Cruzer Titanium.

Its a bit on the pricey side, but I have a two gig and it has been on my keychain for awhile now, no problems

Sandisk's Cruzer Micros are great for this...

The guts is protected in a simple metal cover, but the bulk of the body is covered by a slightly (very) flexible kind of rubber. I've had mine for a couple of years on my keychain, and it still looks damn near new since there isn't really any metal to be scratched except for the USB plug itself.

I've put an OCZ Rally 1 (original metal one) through the washer and dryer and it still worked flawless :)

ATP ToughDrives are the best; much faster and stronger than anything from SanDisk.

Corsair Flash Voyager (and GT):

Drives that are durable and fast:

Corsair Flash Voyager (rubber)
ATP Toughdrive (tough plastic)
OCZ Rally 1/2 (aluminum)
Patriot Xporter (rubber)

I put a generic 32MB no-name one through the washer and dryer twice and never lost any data. It has worked flawlessly for a couple of years now. :)

Don't just listen to anybody, watch the video (see how they drove a Mini Cooper on a Sandisk Titanium):

Toughness:
1. Sandisk Titanium (it's titanium....DUH!!!)
2. Patriot Xporter (feel as tough as the bottom of brand new winter boots)

For the combination of raw blazing speed and toughness, it has to be the Patriot XPorter.
