Hi all,
I want to find a memory stick that can survive on a keyring. Most I buy either stop being recognised or break where the keyring goes. Im hoping theres a good price out there with cyber monday and all. Any ideas?
This looks best so far:

Needs to be at least 16gb, USB3 isn't a big deal. Durability is what matters most.
Thanks
Wouldn't the gold contacts get scratched easily? It's out there in the open!
Well I haven't exactly thrown mine around but it does sit on my keys and so far no scratches.
According to the manufacturer the gold bit is also scratch resistant & waterproof: http://www.lacie.com/au/products/product.htm?id=10611
The Corsair one you linked actually seems pretty decent.
It does look good, the only thing stopping me from buying it is Im not sure if its a fake. Everywhere else sells this for $20 more or so.
The one you selected looks pretty hardy. I would say just stay away from those ones with removable caps; we have many plastic varieties but none of them are damaged yet (apart from a chewed one which was looking a bit rusty) and some are on keyrings too. For keyrings I prefer the type with the slide around top (Verbatim) which seems to offer some more protection though to the gold:

You could also look into those with the retractable heads (Sony) too. If moisture is a problem perhaps looks into a type that you could wear on a chain etc around your neck. If it were me I would just do a daily back up to a computer and if the usb is looking sus then simply replace it with another.
I recently picked up one of these: http://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/buy/lacie-32gb-100m-waterp…
Pretty solid & handy to have around.
