Indeed.

A good review that really covered all of the aspects. I was sure Corsair Survivor, with its long thin body, would break under the weight of a bus, and I didn't expect the minis to be such good performers.

I only wish the not-so-tough drives were put under some sort of durability test, because we all want our portable devices to be durable, but I have always been under the impression that, for the 95% of people who don't care if their flash drive can survive a plane crash, most ordinary drives will do just as well; in other words, while a bus would destroy them (just like it destroyed one of the tough drives, slightly damaging the others), they could take falls from normal heights and a bit of rain wouldn't "kill" them either. So I wish there was at least a soaking test for those drives so I'd find out whether I were right or wrong.
