Transcend has recently released a brand new Anti-Shock USB Flash Drive - the JetFlash V70. The drive is made out of a durable eco-friendly silicone rubber that makes it highly resistant to survive shock, splashes and dust. Created with sporty outdoor adventurers in mind, the JetFlash V70 allows users to express their individuality and unique personal style with attractive bright color schemes. While that’s great and all, the point is if you were going outdoors would you really need a pen drive? A rugged mobile phone makes sense, I’m not sure this does.

Austin Huang, Regional Head - Sales, SAARC & APAC, Transcend, said, “We are extremely proud to have introduced our new range of rugged flash drives. Combining exceptional durability with performance, stylish sporty design, and environment friendliness, the Transcend’s JetFlash V70 USB Flash Drive is a great storage device that allows users with active lifestyles to take their important files wherever they go.”
The JetFlash V70 fully meets rigorous U.S. military drop-test standards (MIL-STD-810F 516.5—Transit Drop) making it one of the most robust USB Flash Drives available. Additionally, the JetFlash V70 is equipped with a unique tethered cap holder that prevents it from getting lost when removed from the drive during file transfer; this is a smart move I have to admit, I’m just not sure that having a rugged pen drive is the way to go as most ordinary pen drives are quite capable of being “manhandled” to quite an extent without a protective case.

Currently available in 16GB (Red), 8GB (Orange) and 4GB (Purple) capacities the drives carry Transcend’s renowned lifetime warranty. Prices haven't been announced yet.
