There’s not too much to the Flash Survivor GT package. The blister package shows the Survivor GT in its aluminum case and photos are printed on the insert showing what the drive looks like. A second vacuum-formed area hides the accessories from sight. There’s not too much information on the package regarding performance but a few features are printed.

Corsair has included a dog tag and a USB extension cord as accessories to the Survivor GT. The extension cord is a useful addition as the Survivor GT isn’t like your typical slim USB drive. The extension cord might actually be required for some users.

The Survivor GT isn’t actually small due to its cylindrical design but it isn’t very big either. I would equate it to about the size of a roll of quarters.

The bottom of the container is flat and allows you to stand the tube upright. The top has a slot for a lanyard or keychain. To open the enclosure you must rotate the top of the drive, indicated by the yellow arrows. A couple of turns and the drive can be pulled out.

Staring into the aluminum tube there isn’t very much to see. The cylindrical design makes the drive feel very sturdy; it would take a fair amount of force to dent the enclosure.

Just above the threads on the Survivor GT is an EPDM o-ring. This o-ring prevents water from getting into the enclosure and damaging the drive. Periodic inspection should be done to ensure the integrity has not been compromised. You can probably find a replacement o-ring for a few dollars at your local home hardware store.
