💽 Corsair Flash Survivor Stealth 64GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive - Black (CMFSS3B-64GB) Review

Attached performance chart. This is on a laptop with the same test workload I use to test new cables or external drives. An older Samsung T3 SSD external drive can read or write at 250MB/s (with a maximum read speed of 350MB/s) on the same port with the same test files. No other workloads were running and that was on new, freshly formatted drives. As you can see in the graph, it maintains a decent (and advertised) speed (100MB/s) for some time and then does this weird sawtooth pattern where…

I broke some flash drives and needed something really strong. To test this drive I went through hell to see if it would become my #1 flash drive. Tests: - They hit the wall as hard as they could. crushed the wall, but the drive worked fine - put under the car tire and drove along it, no dents and worked perfectly - left in the water for 24 hours, when opened it was dry inside, the drive worked - threw it out of the 3rd floor. Floor of building at about 50 feet, drive was scratched but worked…

I bought one many years ago before buying new ones this year, let me say the old one was a little battered and fell off the second floor. Water fell and the hidden system they got is perfect. Also, I accidentally fell out of a moving car, my little dog used it as a chew toy for a few minutes (before that, I lost 7 regular USBs because of my crazy dog). but this old one is still perfect and working. I am ordering TWO new ones because these new ones have more storage capacity, my old one still…

I broke some flash drives and need something really permanent. To test this drive I went through hell to see if it would become my #1 flash drive.

I was looking for a flash drive that could take the beating. I wanted something that would withstand an accidental fall, something that could be machine washed if left in my bag, and something that would last a long time. That was it! I bought my first Survivor 5 years ago and have never had a problem with it. The only reason I bought another one was because it was 5 years old and I thought it would be good to replace it so I can be sure my flash drive will last another 5 years with no…

After some searching, this is probably the most secure EDC flash drive you can find. Mainly because the interface components are truly 100% sealed and housed in an all-metal case. Waterproof, dustproof, shockproof and dropproof. In terms of physical integrity, I'd say this is the pinnacle of flash drives. There have been several reviews of people ripping off a flash drive after removing the aluminum cover, and at this point I'd say it's up to you because once you "bare" it, it's no different…
