USB Drive Saves Data, Tells Future

Oh mystical USB drive I come to you with an important question: “Will there be any Snickers left in the breakroom vending machine?” (Stars Say Yes). Thank you USB drive. You are truly wise.

CurrenKey Coin-Shaped Flash Drive: It’s Almost a Good Idea

Kudos to LaCie for making their flash drives more portable—although, the coin-shape may prove problematic. It won’t be long before your sensitive data ends up in the hands of some Starbucks employee. It is definitely thicker than a traditional coin, but the metal exterior of the USB 2.0 drive enhances the illusion, making it easy…

Kanguru’s e-Flash Drive Can Handle USB and eSATA

In recent years, that vast majority of thumbdrive “innovations” have been…well…non-technical. However, Kanguru has actually done something useful by integrating an eSATA plug with a standard USB 2.0 drive. For folks with eSATA capability, that means performance speeds that are several times faster than USB. The drive even comes packaged with an eSATA + Power…

USB Drive Proves Fertility Conventions Give Out the Best Swag Ever

Attendees can get some pretty cool swag at big conventions, but I have yet to see a product as functionally hysterical as this sperm-shaped USB drive handed out at the American Society For Reproductive Medicine’s (ASRM) 2008 conference.

This 16GB Mahjong USB Drive Costs $550?!

If you thought the Chinese were going to undercut cheap Japanese USB drives with even cheaper versions, you’ve been drinking too much contaminated powered milk. These Mahjong drives are custom-engraved with three letters, such as the character on Mahjong pieces, your name or whatever dirty phrase you can come up with. They’re also $490 for…

For the world’s cheapest man, we present the world’s (supposedly) cheapest 64GB USB stick. It’s assembled just for you out of the Netherlands, the place where quality (?) USB drives are made.

Zip Zip LEGO USB Drives Get Updated to 4GB

The previously 1GB Zip Zip LEGO USB drives are getting an update to 4GB. Unfortunately, Zip Zip still doesn’t make these things out of real LEGO blocks—there’s probably some legal reason preventing them from reselling it or something—but they’re a good approximation. Things you shouldn’t do with this: toss it into a huge bucket of…
