What’s in your Man Bag?

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

After a few folk on-site recently have been laughing at my “hand bag”. I keep telling them it’s a man bag which I keep my notebook in and a few other things! I’m always complaining to Lindsey about not being able to find her keys in her many bags that she uses, it’s prompted me to take a photograph of the items in my man bag!

Mine’s bigger than yours comes to mind!

I’ve been looking for a portable storage solution for a while to carry around some DVD isos, and VMware images but also wanted a sturdy pen drive.

Well you don’t get sturdier than this one.

  • Encased in extremely strong CNC-milled, anodized aircraft-grade aluminum.
  • Water resistant to 200M through the use of a EPDM waterproof seal.
  • Protected from vibration or impact damage through the use of a molded shock dampening collar.
  • Plug-&-Play with any USB 2.0 certified peripheral computer port (backward compatible with USB 1.1).
  • USB extension cable and Dog Tags included.
  • Protected by a Limited 10-year Warranty.

You may have noticed that the Corsair dog tag is upside down, I didn’t notice until after the photograph, am I supposed to wear the dog tag?

The 64Gb flash drive is quite long, and probably one of the longest flash drives around, it’s certainly not a short flash drive. It measures about 10cm long.

Some typical geeky, nerdy benchmarks for Read/Write

Flash Toolkit Benchmarks

Flash Toolkit Benchmarks - CMFUSBSRVR-64GBGT

CrystalDiskMark 2.2 Benchmarks

CrystalDiskMark 2.2 Benchmarks - CMFUSBSRVR-64GBGT

HD Tune Pro Benchmarks  - CMFUSBSRVR-64GBGT

So, 30MB/sec for Read and 18MB/sec for Write.

So if you want a big, rugged, 10 year warrantied flash drive opt for the Flash Survivor GT 64GB by Corsair!
