Maximum PC: Come hell or high water, or even a 10-ton truck, LaCie's new XtremKey USB 3.0 flash drive has little to worry about. As the name implies, LaCie's latest flash drive is extremely tolerant to harsh conditions, such as being submerged in water down to 200 meters (over 656 feet). It has a protective cap made of thick ZAMAC metal alloy and wear-resistant screw threads with a rubber O-ring.
They promise a ton of external storage while keeping your setup clean.

What he saw was, well, himself! And you could see yourself, too, if you look at the LaCie Mirror, an external hard drive with a mirror finish.
do we really need a flash drive that strong?
Military folk, construction workers, and McDonald's fry cooks are three demographics I can think of off the bat.
Data retention matters to. Some people use them like hard drives. (hey it happens)
