USB Drive Proves Seal-Proof

Seal USB Flash Drive

For a few days in February 2019, the whole word was waiting to discover who lost a USB drive in New Zealand in 2017.

While it was not, actually, our Seal USB Flash Drive they found, we are not the least bit surprised the USB flash drive survived. After being dropped in water, through a leopard seal's digestive system, being frozen, washed and dried out again.

We've lauded the ruggedness of USB flash drives for more than a decade now. As opposed to other storage devices (aka CDs and DVDs) they are tougher, more versatile, easier to transport and less likely to crack or become unreadable through normal use.

For photographers and videographers, you can throw a USB drive into your pocket or camera bag and download whatever you've shot while in the field. But a misplaced USB drive can also be a bummer.

A few days after the first tweet about the seal poop-proof USB drive, its owner came forward. She had, in fact, collected the seal poop as a volunteer for the researchers. She told officials she didn't realize she'd lost the USB stick, but that she'd shot the video a few days before she collected the scat.

Seal researchers, we highly suggest checking out a Seal USB flash drive for your future projects. Or any of our custom shaped USB flash drives. Contact your account manager today and we promise you won't have to dig through seal scat to get your drives.
