The sturdiest flash card from I-O Data

I-O Data Company considers that the information on your flash-card should be kept as safe as it is possible.. And impossible. That is why their new invention is HDMC - a sturdy 16 GB flash card.

At first, it is waterproof. Then, it is steady to falls and different kinds of blows. And the third point is that low temperatures don't influence the flash at all.


I don't know if it is really important, but nothing happens to it if it is at the depth up to 1 meter in the water, but no more than half an hour. Can you imagine that while testing it was thrown from 1.2 meter height and even frozen? The results of the tests were brilliant. But there is an interesting question: are they testing all the flash cards that way? If not, can we turn the card back if something happens to it after our tests?


Unfortunately, I can't really answer the question what this flash card was created for. Maybe for businessmen, whose information is often very important, but in that case the company had forgotten that the flash card can be simply lost or stolen! In that case they should add there a signalling. Why not?


Anyway, I don’t see much of a need for such a sturdy flash-card. It was done for selected people. They can take it with them almost everywhere: while diving, mountaineering and bailing out!


But the idea is nice and progressing, it looks like it is a flash card of a new generation.
