[Acoustics] fortress drive

[Winkler, Michael F ERDC-CHL-MS]

If you go the Thumb Drive route - I bought one a few months ago that is made
by SanDisk and is called the Cruzer.  
It was a 1GB drive in a titanium case that retracts so there is no need to
keep up with a cap.  I think I paid around $100 for the drive.

No experience with it, but talk about overpriced!  I'd get a thumb drive with
a couple GB's-much cheaper, smaller, and you can drop them, too.  One or two
gigabytes are more than enough to back up a day or two's worth of field data
before you can the data to the office/servers.  Just my 2 cents...

Hello fellow field folks and abusers of equipment... 

Has anyone had experience with this?
