Silicon Power TOUCH 851 USB 2.0 Flash Drive

In addition to our recent testing of the Silicon Power A80 Armor USB 3.0 portable hard drive Silicon Power also provided us with the TOUCH 851 USB 2.0 Flash Drive. A flash drive review might seem trivial considering the market is saturated with flash drives of all shapes, sizes, capacities, and abilities. However the Touch 851 is no ordinary flash drive. With a sleek checkered textured casing available in silver or gold the physical appearance shouts ‘Bling-bling!’ Underneath the hip exterior is a sliding USB connector of a drive that is waterproof, dust proof, shock and vibration proof. Many people will experience the loss of a flash drive due to physical damage, but the Touch 851 is designed to be one tough cookie. Don’t let the small size fool you – this micro-sized flash drive is available in 8 and 16 GB capacities. The Touch 851 drive is compact yet it packs a great feature set. Waterproof, dust proof, shock and vibration proof this device is designed with durability in mind. You will probably lose the drive before it breaks! A major issue with many flash drives is the fragile nature of the USB connector. Have you ever lost a drive cap?
