Be careful with this snail USB drive—it's so cute someone might try to steal it from you.
With the death of floppy drives (you remember those, don't you?), USB memory sticks have become as commonplace and indispensable as mobile phones.

Wireless devices are usually far more convenient than their tethered alternative.

Corsair, who seem to spend all their time finding speed records and then breaking them, announced their Flash Voyager GT USB flash drive at the droolworthy 128GB capacity. Even better, the speeds totally don't suck: 32MB/s and 25.6MB/s read/write, respectively.
