It doesn’t boast the eSATA / USB 3.0 capabilities of the N909, but ADATA ‘s new S007 is easily the tougher of the two. Designed to be fully compliant with US MIL-SPEC standards, this new USB key is available in capacities up to 32GB and should provide careless handlers with “unrivaled digital data protection from both impacts and electric shocks.” Both of ‘em (it’s available in green and red) are wrapped in a rubber coating, and transfer at USB 2.0 speeds (upwards of 30MB/sec on the read side and 8MB/sec on the write side), but sadly, there’s no mention of a price or release date.
