OCZ says the drive is water resistant but in testing, the cap was found to come off easily. Be careful with it and you will have one of the fastest drives around. To compare to the recently reviewed corsair Flash Survivor GT HD Tach numbers showed an average read speed of 23MB/sec with an average write speed of 20.6 MB/sec. That makes the OCZ ATV Turbo significantly faster than the Corsair Flash Survivor GT.
