September 1st, 2009

The hand grenade USB drive is here for you to recall those childhood memories of fake guns and bombs. The drive is a plastic cast out of a hand grenade with a trigger. The dimensions of the drive are 60mm x 30mm x 30mm and it weighs around 15g. The 4Gb dive is available in four colors – orange, white, blue and black.

Hope you don’t scare off too many people using this thing with your notebook at some public place and at worst get interrogated by the cops about this :P

The drive is available for $20

August 23rd, 2009

terminatoru usb flash

I am certainly tired of losing flash drives every now and then, such that I have bought a dozen in the past 2 years alone. However this $150+ Terminator 4 – Cyborg Skull Flash drive gives me some hope that it won’t be misplaced so easily. Partly because it will scare of the thief’s and after paying more than 10 times the price of a regular Transcend, I am sure I won’t dare to lose it!

August 15th, 2009

flash_voyager_gt

Corsair has launched what it claims to be the world’s fastest USB flashdrive. The Flash Voyager GT, as it is called, is a 128GB high capacity USB flash drive.

Flash Voyager GT can read at the top speed of 32Mbps and has the writing speed of upto 25.6Mbps which is almost the speed limit of the USB 2.0 bus. Even with the high data holding capacity, the flash drive is 75% smaller than regular flashdrives of less than half the capacity.

“High performance is a key requirement for super-high capacity flash drives, such as the 128GB Voyager GT, simply because it is able to store such a large volume of data,”says John Beekley, VP of Applications at Corsair. “The 128GB Voyager GT is nearly twice as fast as other high-capacity flash drives, which means less time waiting for your music, video, or office files to copy to and from the drive.”

The other flashdrives of 128GB capacity available in the market are Kingston’s DataTraveler and DiscGo. The Flash Voyager GT costs $400. Too much? well its currently the cheapest 128GB flashdrive available :P

Nort sure on how the managed this, but its kewl! Not for sale commercially, this is a custom made flash drive for corporate gifting. A product of CNK Promotions, this unique pendrive is certainly something I would like to pocket.

With flash drives getting as common as a pencil, it certainly takes a crazy beerhead to get something unique. Cheers

August 3rd, 2009

Another unususally designed USB drive, this one as a Light Bulb. While this looks cool and Geeky, I really doubt if this will fit into a Laptop USB port without elevating the latptop from the surface (the bulb’s round head is thicker than usual laptops). However nice geek stuff; A 2GB LightBulb drive will cost you $19, 4GB will cost $22 and 8GB will come home for $32. And hey, this doubles up as a keyholder aswell.
