While I didn't back my car over the Survivor to “crash test” it, the drive has a solid feel, and certainly looks like it could stand up to quite a bit of abuse. The water resistance is a nice plus, given that the drive is meant to be carried around, leading to the possibility of dropping it in a puddle, toilet, swimming pool, etc. You can rest assured that the Survivor will handle it all.

The Truecrypt feature is praised for being full and unlimited, however, Truecrypt is open source freeware that anyone can use.
TrueCrypt - Free Open-Source On-The-Fly Disk Encryption Software for Windows Vista/XP/2000 and Linux

How can security be open source?
Actually, it may be the only way to ensure there is not false "security by obscurity", since any "security" that depends on the secrecy of the encryption algorithm, is at risk from serious compromise if the algorithm became known. The security of known and documented encryptions can be defined according to their key lenght and any known vulnerabilities, with open-ness ensuring that both black-hats and white-hats havee equal access to evaluate any weaknesses.
