Beer-Filled USB Drive Raises Disturbing Questions

Dan Nosowitz — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 20:00:00 EDT

Gadgets like this Beer-Filled USB Flash Drive really make me question the basics. More than my first-year university philosophy class did, anyway. Existential angst, the downfall of western civilization, and "customizable floaties" after the jump.

Is capitalism really that great, if it leads to beer-filled USB flash drives with "optional customizable floating objects" inside? Should we Americans really be that pleased with our free speech, if it means I get emails from people who make flash drives with BEER in them? And am I really secure with myself as a gadget dork, getting all excited over the latest and greatest shiny toys, if that same email brags about the floating objects being in 3D? How could they be anything but 3D, when they're actual, physical objects? I can't pretend like the world is the same after this. The sun doesn't shine as bright. The air doesn't taste as sweet. Congratulations, Beer-Filled USB Drive Manufacturer. You've broken me. [CNK]

Headless Teddy Bear USB Drive Combines Kiddy Nightmares, Storage in One

Kit Eaton — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 06:12:00 EDT

Ages ago we showed you a DIY version, but now the removable-head Teddy Bear USB drive is a real product, ready to trigger-off those childhood nightmares all over again. The little guy is around 3 x 3.75 inches, is USB 2.0, stores 1GB inside its teddy guts, and costs $17. Not much else to say. [Geekalerts]

Aexea KeyXpress Data Key Flashdrive Could Hide on Your Key Ring

Kit Eaton — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 08:02:00 EDT

Brando's Aexea KeyXpress flash drives are designed to really make key-ring data portability true: they're shaped like keys, and are about as thin as your average door or car key (about 0.12-inches thin.) They're in three colors, have 4GB of flash storage aboard, come with a similarly tiny lanyard and that's about all you need to know. Oh: they cost $27. [Brando]

Solid Alliance Silver Cross USB Drive is Holy Data Bank, for Goth Jewelry Geeks

Kit Eaton — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 05:39:00 EDT

Solid Alliance's newest USB thumbdrive will either appeal to geeky clergy-types, or vampire-goth-geek types, since it's an ornate metallic silver-colored drive that comes in a cross-shaped caddy. And it's specifically designed to hang on a necklace. Bizarre: both markets for this product can't be all that big, can they? Still, this gizmo might even contain real silver, since the 2GB drive costs $180. If that's too rich for your blood, there's a brass-colored one, also 2GB, for $145. [Akihabaranews]

High Dexx USB Flash Drives Combine USB Flash Drives With Highlighters

Jason Chen — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 15:30:00 EDT

If you asked us what two things on our desk that we'd want to combine into one thing, we'd probably pick these two things, the USB drive and the highlighter. When has it not occurred to you to put these obviously similar things in one package? We mean really, a USB drive fits in your hand and a USB highlighter fits in your hand. What more connection do you need? Thanks, High Dexx USB Flash Drive. You know exactly what we're thinking. [Gadgtes2Order via Oh Gizmo]

Dealzmodo: 16GB Corsair Flash Drive for $34 After Rebate

Jason Chen — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 15:30:00 EDT

Today's Newegg deal involves a $30 mail-in-rebate, but it's a pretty damn good price for a 16GB flash drive. Enter in the $5 promo code EMCAHDBAJ found on their savings page and you'll get $5 off, which coupled with the $30 rebate nets you a drive at $34. What can you do with a 16GB flash drive? What can't you do? [Newegg - Thanks Adam!]

Buffalo's 32GB and 64GB SSDs For Eee PC Get Launch Date, Price

Kit Eaton — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 04:13:00 EDT

Asus's EeePC 901 has already proved itself very hackable but Buffalo's newest product won't require much modding: 32GB or 64GB replacement SSD's. Not much more to say, apart from the obvious: more storage, more impact resilient, longer battery life. The best bit? The 32GB SHD-EP9M32G is a mere $156, and the 64GB SHD-EP9M64G an equally neat $316. Available in Japan at first, mid-September.

Macally PowerLink is Flash drive, Sync Cable, Emergency Juice for iPod, iPhone

Kit Eaton — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 12:20:00 EDT

You know how it is: you're camping in the wild, and your iPhone suddenly runs out of juice, just as you get bored stiff with the music selection you've got aboard it. Previously you'd've had to carry a bunch of stuff around to sort this out, but Macally's PowerLink has come to the rescue. With USB plug on one end and 30-pin iPod connector on the other, it acts as a sync cable, but also has a battery inside to give you a squirt of extra power if you're in a pinch. It also packs a 2GB flash drive, but you'll need to get mp3's off that via iTunes, sadly. No info on how long the battery lasts, but as a 3-in-1 gizmo it's pretty useful. Out "soon" for $49.99. [OhGizmo]

Climb Every Mountain, Ford Every Data-Stream with USB Flash Drive Carabiner

Kit Eaton — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 06:58:00 EDT

This gizmo from Brando is a carabiner with a USB flash drive embedded in it. M'kay. Handy for... um... snapping onto your notebook case, and securing it to your climbing harness as you tackle the north face of the Eiger? Actually no, because despite supporting Windows, OS X and Linux, it won't support you: I'm sure I should be able to see a "do not use for climbing" sign on it somewhere. It's got 4GB of storage, comes in six colors and is $32. [Brando]

Mimobot Designer Flash Drives Grow to 8GB

matt buchanan — Tue, 20 May 2008 16:30:00 EDT

If lack of storage was the major reason you were holding off on dropping the coin for a mimobot designer flash drive (which I have a soft spot for even though the price/value ratio is slightly outside of this reality), get ready to open up your tri-fold wallet, they've just started offering 8GB drives. They're $140, about double what you'd pay for a Cruzer Contour, which has its own design premium. But they are really cute. [Mimoco]

Bonanza Banana Flash Drive Has a Bunch of Memory (8GB, Actually)

AddyDugdale — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 07:05:00 EDT

When I saw this Bonanza banana, I thought of this. Eddie Murphy stuck one up a tailpipe, now you can stick a banana up your USB port—well, you can stick it wherever you like, it's Friday and we're all adults here. The fruity flash drive has an 8GB capacity, looks lovely, tastes rubbery, and is made by a firm called Hantat. [AVING via Pocket-lint]

PQI's Intelligent Stick Flash Drives are Tiny, Waterproof, Dust-Proof

Kit Eaton — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 04:55:20 EST

PQI's new Intelligent Stick USB flash drives may be a boon for those clumsy people, like myself, who often spill coffee on their electronics or get them soaking wet in pockets that let the rain in. I can't think of a time when I've got a gadget too dusty to use, but these tiny flash drives can even cope with that. Manufactured with a special COB process, they're available in 2GB and 4GB in a number of colors, and are due to be unveiled at CeBIT this week.

J-Lo Gresso USB Drive Will Abuse Your Wallet, Dignity

Haroon Malik — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 12:50:00 EST

Gresso, the makers of all things ridiculous and overpriced, have hit home with their worst idea ever. They intend to pre load their ridiculous and overpriced flash drives with new albums by artists no one is any longer interested in. The first (and possibly last) offering will be Jennifer Lopez's new album, Brave, which will retail for $70 on Gresso's Adam and Eve flash drive. Don't worry, your $70 will buy a customized Adam & Eve flash drive with J-Lo scrawled across it and some obligatory Swarovski crystals. Phew! There were we thinking this was just a ridiculous waste of money. [Luxist]

Whazatt Chicken Foot Drive, WhazTF?

smcglaum — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 22:49:33 EDT

I was just sitting here thinking that what I really need is a flash drive that looks like a chicken foot and damned if one doesn't show up. Whazatt has a suitably weird flash drive sporting 1GB of flash storage inside and taking the form of a chicken foot that could have come right off the set of Prison Break.

Voodoo types looking for a geeky offering to the computer gods can use this $44.95 flash drive with both Mac and Windows computers. The chicken foot is ABS plastic while the flash portion is in a die-cast housing. I find the packaging to be better than the actual product, the picture of a chicken bleeding from his bloody nub is worth an award or something. [Whazatt]

USB Dog Tag Chew Toy IDs Dogs, Children

Jason Chen — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 02:22:30 EDT

This USB drive holds 512MB of doggie data like pictures and its favorite diet, which is perfect for attaching to an actual dog so whenever it gets lost, people can use it to figure out exactly where to return the dog to. Of course, a slip of paper with your address and phone number would be the same, but since when did crazy ass Solid Alliance worry about practicality? The best part is that it's chewy and rubbery, so if it ever gets eaten it'll come out the other side relatively intact—unlike other USB drives. [Rakuten via Tokyo Mango]

Handcrafted Thalbach Design Thumb Drives (Anniversary Material)

Mark Wilson — Sat, 06 Oct 2007 11:36:03 EDT

If there's one piece of tech that's suffered from quick commodification, it's the USB flash drive—which is all the more reason that original products stick out in the market. We've seen wooden flash drives before, but these flash drives from Thalbach Design are heirloom material. Veneered in polished and oiled maple, ash and even a 150 year old burled wood (pictured above), a 4GB stick will run you $135, but you are a big important CEO who burns the midnight oil squeezed fresh from "used up" Benjamins anyway, so what is a little extra cash for some classy gear?

Bitmicro's E-Disk Altima 461GB Flash Drive Almost as Durable as God

ybaranovsky — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 19:30:00 EDT

Bitmicro Networks has announced the release of the new E-Disk Altima E2A3GL heavy duty SSD flash drive that holds a huge 461GB and is as sturdy as a Russian housewife. The 2.5-inch hard drive has a standard Serial ATA (SATA) interface and is designed to operate in both fairly cold and fairly hot temperatures (-40 to +85 degrees Celsius).

Built specifically for industrial and military applications, the drive will have 10 years of data integrity and will be able to sustain strong shocks and vibrations. Available in March 2008, there's no information on how much the E-Disk Altima will cost just yet but considering their target market, it's going to be about as much as a tank.

Flash Padlock: For the Paranoid Delusional On the Go

blongo3 — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 19:30:13 EDT

The Flash Padlock, available in 1 or 2gb models, is made for people who think that their data is far too important to be kept on any ol' unsecured thumb drive. When you remove your thumb drive from the USB port it automatically goes into lock-down mode. However all you have to do is enter in your handy dandy PIN number and poof you've unrestricted access to all of your files. Now just don't go and do something stupid like make the PIN your birthday or 1-2-3-4, OK? [Product Page via Shiny Shiny]

SanDisk Cruzer Contour Looks Monolithically Sexy

Jason Chen — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 14:32:22 EDT

If you're in the market for a cool-looking flash drive and the SanDisk Ducati looks a little bit too much mid-life crisis to you, might we suggest their Cruzer Contour (which we saw back at CES). It's a glossy black drive with an extendable/retractable USB connector. Yeah, that means you won't have to keep track of a USB cap anymore. So not only is it convenient, the tapered end and black design make it pretty slick to look at as well. [SanDisk]

Oooms USB Memory Sticks Made From Real Sticks

kthompson — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 18:50:00 EDT

A decade ago, your average tree wanted to grow up to be a great novel. These days, trees are going high tech by offering their branches up as fodder to be transformed into USB flash drives. Oooms' creatively named Wooden Memory Sticks are crafted from hand-picked wood from the forests of the Netherlands. Match one with your wooden PC for the full mountain man effect. They're USB 2.0 compatible and range in size from 256MB to 2GB. $60-$110. [Oooms Wooden Memory Sticks via [Luxist]

Hands-On With Lexar's JumpDrive Secure II Plus with Encryption and Capacity Meter

Jason Chen — Mon, 14 May 2007 14:30:27 EDT

Lexar's JumpDrive Secure II Plus brings the e-ink capacity meter previously seen in their other drives and the 256-bit AES encryption previously seen in the JumpDrive Secure II. The result? Something pretty convenient and secure, not to mention that it's the cheapest drive they have that has the e-ink capacity display.

The drive comes with the Lexar dashboard software for both Mac and Vista (although the OS X version required a driver install and a reboot) that was easy to use and easy to create mounted encrypted partitions on the drive. After setting aside 500MB of our 1GB drive on the partition—which was then mounted as a separate disk—we could drag and drop files onto it and it would be completely unreadable (it just looked like a file) when the drive was on another machine unless you knew the password.

What's also convenient is the ability to encrypt and decrypt files that are not on the drive, meaning you can use the drive to encrypt half the files on your hard drive if you wanted. Except if you lost the drive, well, you'd probably have to go buy another one. All in all, their claims of this being the cheapest drive with the e-ink and 256-bit AES encryption makes this drive worthwhile in sizes from 512MBs up to 4GBs. An 8GB version should be available soon. – Jason Chen

Hidden USB Flash Drive Lanyard

Travis Hudson — Thu, 03 May 2007 21:00:40 EDT

Flash drives of all brands and sizes could include a lanyard nowadays, but how many are already hidden into the lanyard itself? This looks like an average lanyard on the outside, but unfasten the clip to find the USB flash drive with 2GB of memory available for taking your donkey porn collection anywhere! It isn't too bad of a deal either—2GB for $38. –Travis Hudson

Popdrive Bottle Opening USB Flash Drive

Finally, a company has combined my two favorite hobbies. Thank you for fulfilling my dream of being able to transfer files with ease and crack open a cold one almost at the same time with one convenient device. This Popdrive is a 1GB flash drive that sits securely in the handle of a standard bottle opener. Chalk this peripheral up as another goodie from the fine folks at SkyMall. The question still remains: Is it a bottle opener with a flash drive or a flash drive with a bottle opener? *Head explodes* $30. –Travis Hudson

A-DATA Pirates of the Caribbean Flash Memory

Travis Hudson — Fri, 20 Apr 2007 15:00:51 EDT

A-DATA may be a little late to the party, but they have designed and released a variety of flash memory modules with a PotC theme. Available is a regular flash drive bearing Depp's character. Also available are SD Duo cards. These are like regular SD memory cards but have a USB module so they can be directly plugged in to a computer. Normally I would rip on A-DATA for showing up to the PotC bandwagon party very late, but I can't hate against anything featuring Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley. SD Duo pictures after the fold.

Sony VAIO Type G: Another 12.1" Sub-notebook with 32GB Flash Drive That Doesn't Come from Cupertino

www.gizmodo.com — Tue, 10 Apr 2007 07:50:51 EDT

For those who think that June will never come, can't wait to get a sexy subnotebook with flash storage even if it doesn't come with Mac OS X and live in Japan, here's the new Sony VAIO Type G: a 12.1-inch notebook that not only comes under the 2 pounds mark (1.97 or 898 grams) battery included, but includes a 32 GB solid storage unit for $1,926.

The VAIO Type G comes short on power though: it only has a Core Solo U1300 running at 1.06GHz and the Intel 945GMS Express chipset doing the graphic work, with just up to 1.5GBytes of DDR2 RAM. Perhaps that's why it comes with Windows XP Pro instead of Vista. And perhaps that's why I will stick to my MacBook until Apple releases something better with a SDD. – Jesus Diaz

Update: battery life with the standard battery and the SDD drive is 12 hours, but the total weight increases to 2.08 pounds (945 grams). With the small battery, Sony says it will last 6 hours

Ritek Yego Flash Drive is All About the Ménage à Trois

Travis Hudson — Mon, 26 Mar 2007 21:00:51 EDT

With every peripheral and its mom operating via USB, a lack of ports can actually be a problem. The Ritek Yego is a fairly standard USB flash drive, but the shape allows two other USB devices to be plugged into it with the help of a little hot pass-through action. So it is really just a USB flash drive hub. –Travis Hudson

Pretec i-Disk RFID: Where Do You Hide Yours?

www.gizmodo.com — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 09:25:44 EDT

Pretec's new i-Disk flash drive is 25 per cent smaller than a quarter, and can store up to 1GB of data. A combination of USB flashdisk and RFID technology in a waterproof case, the i-Disk is made using a semiconductor MCP process, and measures 45.7 x 12.2 x 2.2mm. It will primarily be marketed for use in hospitals, airports and warehouses and production is expected to start in the next few months. Honestly, I don't see much use to a whole gigabyte in a RFID tag other than hiding secret space station plans inside short legged droids. If you have any ideas, please write them after the jump. – Ad Dugdale

What You've All Been Waiting For: USB Humping Dog Finally Does More Than Just Hump

Matt Buchanan — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 10:30:45 EDT

That's right, a reader over at Digital World Tokyo has put together a guide on retro-fitting your favorite hypersexually active dog peripheral with some actual memory. Better yet, part of the mod is that the dog only humps when it's accessing data. While DWT characterizes the guide as "quick," be warned that you need some soldering skills and extra parts—notably a flash drive circuit board.

The real warning though is that this new and improved version isn't for sale, so unless you can make it happen yourself, don't get too attached. Video demo after the jump.

DIY: Install Windows Vista Using a Flash Drive

Travis Hudson — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 18:00:08 EST

A flash drive that can install an operating system is one of the most useful tools for any computer repair monkey (I should know, that occupation took many years away from me). Like its older counterpart, Vista also has the ability to be installed via a USB flash drive, with a little work on your part. Kurt Shintaku wrote a surprisingly small tutorial on how to do so. I plan on creating a Vista-installing USB flash drive simply as a back-up. I really just need to take more care of my CDs, but this is easier, kind of. Hit the link below to see the three, fairly simple steps, to accomplishing this task. –Travis Hudson

Paws On the Artist Series '07 mimobots at NY Comic Con

Matt Buchanan — Sun, 25 Feb 2007 09:25:46 EST

The NY Comic Con was disappointingly less gadget-y (or worthwhile) than I had hoped, which is to say that it was gadget-less until I spotted the Mimoco banner way against the back wall. And what can I say, I'm a whore for art toys—Kid Robot has gotten far too much money from me over the last couple of years.

After talking to the mimoco crew (half of the six-person company was there), I got my hands on one of the Artist Series '07 mimobots, Mori Chack's Gloomy Bear (Grey Heavy Blood), that we showed you a bit ago.

As you can see, it's actually fairly small—I was kind of surprised at first because the promo pics make them look huge. My only real gripe about the design is that when it's plugged in, the cool side—the whole reason to buy the drive—actually faces downward, leaving me with the Gloomy Bear's ass and its flashing blue light protruding from my notebook.

The drive comes with store of goodies packed on it, namely a set of Gloomy Bear icons, backgrounds and avatars of both pink and grey persuasions. The kicker though is a totally weird trailer of sorts with a bizarre soundtrack where a Gloomy Bear bloodily mauls a kid Killer Instinct-combo style for over a minute.

While it is more functional than the average art toy, at $100 for the 2GB model, you are paying more for the form than you are for the function—there are certainly cheaper offerings sporting the same amount of space, even if you go high end. Obviously, though, form is entirely the point, and if you want an art toy that does more than just sit on a shelf, this is definitely one of the better ways to go.

Bonus geekage: Stars Wars mimobots in the flesh, which, Bothan spies tell us with any luck will be dropping in two weeks after suffering numerous setbacks from the Imperials. I just wish they had a little speaker so the Chewie drive could go "Gwahrarrrrr" whenever it was accessing data.

When you are done lathering up those lips for a night out on the town, rather than tossing that used Chapstick container, mod it into a flash drive. This also serves as a more efficient theft deterrent. A tube of Chapstick looks a little less valuable than a titanium flash drive with 2GB written all over it. Jump for another picture.

The Titan: Handmade Indestructible USB Tankdrive

Mark Wilson — Sun, 11 Feb 2007 11:25:59 EST

The Russian space program didn't die, it was redirected to USB flash drive making. The Titan USB flash drive is constructed from a graphite/aluminum composite metal matrix that has "traditionally been used by NASA and other space agencies". This matrix is then covered in titanium to avoid corrosion, and generally help with the entire badass geek motif.

The result is a waterproof, anti-shock, and anti-static drive that can withstand 2,000lbs of pressure. The 1GB model costs $197 and the 2GB runs $247, which is less expensive when you consider it's a (semi) handmade product that is limited to 100 units produced.

By creator Slava Tyukalov, who brought us this cool mouse. Hit the jump for a video of an SUV plowing the Titan.

Lexar Does Custom Engraving on Flash Drives

Travis Hudson — Thu, 25 Jan 2007 14:56:48 EST

Remember when Apple was doing custom engravings on iPods for free back in the day and everyone was giving and receiving iPods with cheesy stuff engraved? Yeah, that idea is back, but from Lexar. Lexar is offering up this absurdly overpriced 1GB JumpDrive for $80, but you can get it custom engraved up to 20 characters, which isn't near enough letters to say "I gave you the clap so here is a flash drive to make up for it," but semi-cool nonetheless.

Birthdays, Valentine's Day, Bahmitzvas, anniversaries—I don't see a situation where giving the gift of a flash drive wouldn't be appropriate. At least it is shiny. –Travis Hudson

Well, think of it as foosball without the cross bars and by flicking the little people instead. For further explanation go consult Wikipedia or YouTube.

These little USB flash guys sit atop their base and can be removed for flash memory usage. It is only a conceptual design right now, but I'm sure the Subbuteo players are peeing themselves at this idea and want these flash drives to become a reality. –Travis Hudson
