Introduction

There are a few USB drives on the market that claim to be the fastest, there are also a few that claim to be the toughest, most durable and rugged. Today for review I have one of those drives; it is the ToughDrive from ATP. The ToughDrive just looks to be built for durability and toughness, at first looks the ToughDrive gave me the impression of something the military would use, it just looks rough and tough, I can see a Marine carrying the ToughDrive into battle (why he would exactly I don't know, but it's just the picture I got in my head...). Are you looking for a durable and rugged USB drive that can withstand most anything you throw at it, then read on to check this out!

I would like to thank ATP for the chance to review the ToughDrive.

Armed with a solid, rubber housing and an ultra quick 200X (30MB/s) transfer speed, the ATP ToughDrive USB Flash Drive is the most versatile, robust USB flash solution on the market!

Everything including the shape and size of the ATP ToughDrive was designed with functionality as the highest priority. The stylish, distinctive housing offers absorption of shock from accidental drops and water resistance for rainy weather. Although small enough to be conveniently stored in pockets, the tactile rubber surface along with grip lines make the ToughDrive easy to hold and grasp without dropping.

This convenience and usability are combined with the ATP standard for performance and reliability. By taking full advantage of USB2.0, the ToughDrive will transfer your files faster (up to 30MB/s), meaning less wait time for large file transfers and flawless multimedia streaming. Using highest quality SLC flash components, the ToughDrive will potentially outlast other standard USB flash drives by a factor of ten (read/write cycle lifetime).

The ATP ToughDrive is the perfect USB storage solution for any user seeking premium durability and reliability without any compromise in performance.
