     USB Flash Drives are in real demand these days, but there are also so many variations to choose from. With literally hundreds of flash drives to choose from, how do you know which is the right one for you? The innovative geniuses over at OCZ Technology have made this decision easy, especially if you are the rugged outdoorsy type. OCZ recently introduced the ATV Turbo USB 2.0 Flash Drive with a water proof housing which also adds extra durability. By design, flash drives are already the most durable form of external and portable storage one can find, but with OCZ's over the top innovation, the ATV Turbo just might be the last flash drive you will ever buy.

     The OCZ ATV Turbo is covered in a sporty looking water proof housing. This rubber housing not only makes the flash drive water proof, but it also helps protect it from breakage. I also like the bright yellow color as it's easy to find.

     Keep in mind that the ATV Turbo is not water proof unless the cap is on. However, I have ran my old 1gb OCZ flash drive through the washer and drying on several occasions and the drive just keeps on working. These flash drives are extremely durable, so the ATV Turbo should be virtually indestructible.

     If you were curious about what the little yellow wedge shape piece was on the key chain, it's a cap holder. You simple slide the cap over this piece so you don't loose the cap when the flash drive is in use.
