OCZ announce ruggedized flash drives

In similar style to Corsair's Survivor series of flash drives, OCZ have announced today some very rugged well-built offerings of their own in the ATV and ATV Turbo series.

These flash drives will cop a real beating as they are both shock and water-proof, the Turbo series has extremely quick memory chips in it which allow for read rates of up to 35MB/sec and write rates of 30MB/sec, of course they are Windows ReadyBoost ready as well.

The external casing features a durable and colorful rubber 'tread' pattern which will keep the internals very safe even when submerged in water.

The ATV and ATV Turbo flash drives come in sizes ranging from 2 to 8GB.
