Nuke-proof USB Drive!
Now, this is the height of military geekiness! A thumb-drive which could stand nuclear effects!
What u r seein is the IronDrive, strong enough to withstand those tough conditions such as high temperature, shock, vibration, submersion, EMI and caustic agents. Boasting a bulky cigarette lighter like design, the IronDrive is an USB drive that has been designed tough as per the military standards and it could even withstand nuclear effects. It can operate effectively in temperatures as low as -40 F (-40 C) or as high as to +185 F (+85C). It weighs a mere 164 grams and the site says that it is cost effective.
__________
I guess that means that if you had this flash drive and you were nuked, your MP3s would still be safe, so long as someone were around in another 100 years when the radiation goes away to get them.

Re: Nuke-proof USB Drive!
Say black box, it could be used in aircraft blackboxes and fighter planes as storage for later analysis. Nuclear proof would keep it pretty much shock proof.

Re: Nuke-proof USB Drive!
what if the data is saved but the person who knows the password dies?????
and considering it a military used device, the password would be necessary and also it will not be an easy one!!!!
Whats the use for such thing?

Re: Nuke-proof USB Drive!
I have a metalic one. Sure it is not Nuke Proof lol. But it is really good, can throw it hard and no problems at all. It is pen drive itself - Metalic pen - can write and other side is USB. Checked with the manufacturer's site but seems they are not making it any more

Re: Nuke-proof USB Drive!
Well even if they put passwords on the Drive and lock it, the password can easily be broken if the information in it is sensitive and of utmost importance...
talk about supercomputers

I think these notebooks used on the field by many armies around the world would certainly live upto the pen drive's expectations...

Re: Nuke-proof USB Drive!
Nuke proof...........hmmmm
The site says,"does all this and retains the “hot pluggable” feature of a standard USB devices, without the fragility of a typical USB connector."
That connector looks like a gas valve

Re: Nuke-proof USB Drive!
these devices are not used for personal usage..instead are used mostly by the military and other enforcement departments to carry important data in a portable manner to the field...eg.feeding data for artilery,aavs,etc.
