The question of course isn’t if it can take 2,000 lbs of pressure. The question is always, what happens when even the Titanium Cruzer takes a sharp rap along its case?
Squeeze is one thing. Sharp impact is another. You wanna damage something absolutely rigid? Whack it against a desk- just like people do every day when they wear their USB sticks on a lanyard around their neck. That always unnerves me- the potential for data loss or damage is larger if you are in a position to bang the stick, so to speak. -cough-
