Last year I had a Memorex flash drive that was temporarily lost. Unfortunately, it was also run over by a truck. I've still got it, but have been told by techs who have looked at it that its a lost cause except for professional data retrieval (minimum $200 job for data retrieval.)
I replaced it with a Crucial drive. Everything has been fine until this weekend, when the laundry was done and the jeans it was in were washed before I pulled out my keys (and the attached case I keep the drive in.) I figured this one was toast as well. I was wrong.
After going through both the washer and dryer, it still works without so much as a hiccup. Thank you folks for a quality product. It's not often I buy something so good that I register on a company forum just to rave about it. Again, thank you.
(And yes, I've backed up the data from the flash drive. I usually do at least once a month. Unfortunately, in the case of the old drive, it had been a busy month...)
