Waterproof

The presence of water protection flash drive. Also in this paragraph, the specific level of such protection according to the IP standard can be specified, where the first digit is responsible for dust protection, and the second for water protection. The higher the number, the better the level of protection. So, the water protection indicator of 7 already allows us to talk about the short-term water resistance of the model. However, in most cases, manufacturers do not conduct global tests and do not mark their devices with an IP level, only assuring about some kind of protection. What it really is remains a mystery.

Manufacturer's warranty

Manufacturer's warranty provided for this model.

In fact, this is the minimum service life promised by the manufacturer, subject to the rules of operation. Most often, the actual service life of the device is much longer than the guaranteed one. But an indicator of 5 years suggests that the flash drive is more likely to be lost or become irrelevant. You can also come across a lifetime warranty, however, in this case it is better to drown out the details to which it applies. And anyway, it implies a certain period of time, though measured in decades. In addition to confirmation of reliability, such a guarantee allows you to contact the supplier after a while to eliminate possible problems (of course, not mechanical). But the difficulties in implementing this procedure (the representative office is located only in large cities) and the rare cases of the need for this (after all, it is easier to buy a new flash drive, with the exception of vital information on the old media) make the lifetime warranty more of a marketing ploy than a cool chip.
