Kingston Digital has announced the SSD Destructo Challenge. Kingston wants contestants to submit ideas on how to destroy one of its solid-state drives. The Grand Prize winner will be the entrant with the best idea and have the choice of receiving $3,000 or attending the shooting of the next series of SSD Destructo videos, premiering in January 2011.
The first SSD Destructo video series was released in January as a fun and creative way to demonstrate the durability of Kingston's SSDNow product line. The series was so popular that Kingston is inviting the public to develop ideas for the sequel. To enter, contestants have to simply click "Like us" at www.facebook.com/kingstonssd and submit their ideas in 300 words or less on Kingston's Facebook discussion tab.
"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 would not 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."
The SSD Destructo Challenge runs through November 5, 2010. Each contestant must be 18 years of age or older and a legal resident in the US (void in Puerto Rico and Hawaii), Australia, New Zealand, India, Singapore or the Philippines.
