We're pretty sure that at least a couple of you are familiar with Kingston's SSD Destructo video series, that was meant to prove the overall durability of the company's solid-state drives, and those of you who were inspired by some of those videos (and started dreaming about new and spectacular ways of tearing apart a SSD) can now actually earn some money, by coming up with ideas on how to destroy one of its solid-state drives.
Called the SSD Destructo Challenge, this competition will prompt participants to come up with very innovative ways of destroying a storage unit, then submit their ideas in 300 words or less on Kingston's Facebook discussion tab.
A total of 16 prizes will be awarded, with the Grand Prize of $3,000 or a trip to Kingston to be on set during the shooting of Destructo II.
Additional prizes include cash awards of $1,000 and $500, VIP gift baskets and Kingston memory products.
"The SSD Destructo Series was wildly popular because it was an entertaining, over-the-top demonstration of the durability of our SSD products," said Danny Ordway, strategic marketing manager, Kingston.
"Who in their right mind would swing a baseball bat at an SSD?
You wouldn't expect the drive to work afterwards but it did.
This video series is a great way for Kingston to interact with our customers.
We know we have smart, creative people using our products and bringing them into this process is a fun way for us to get their feedback," Mr. Ordway added.
The competition will run through November 5, 2010 but, unfortunately, only residents of the U.S Australia, New Zealand, India, Singapore or Philippines will be able to participate.
