Flashsticks: USB drives get a touch of nature

November 5th, 2009

Flashsticks wooden flash drive 3

We absolutely love the natural wooden treatment given to any gadget and Flashsticks (UK) makes some really cool and natural wooden pen drives. Each of these USB flash drives are made from locally hardwood wood from a renewable source. The wood is collected from the woods of Berkshire in England. This is fallen wood from the previous winter’s storms. Thus no two of these drives are similar.

So if you are fascinated by the combination of silicon chips and nature or simply want to stand out with a unique gadget connecting your notebook, FlashStick is just what you need. Fully compatible with USB 2.0 and a unique design is enough to attract me.

Currently available in a 2GB version (upgrades coming soon), this wooden Flashstick would cost you £15. And if you are lucky you can take home one of these FREE. Flashticks UK is giving away one of these cool wooden drives to a random commenter on this post. So let us know in comments below why you want this! (contest closes in 72 hours)

256GB USB Flash Drive from Kingston (DataTraveler 300)

July 21st, 2009

datatraveler 300 256gb

Just weeks after we saw two different 128GB Flash drives here comes a 256GB one from Kingston. This little portable drive costs more than my PC and Mobilephone combined = $900! But the thought of a thumb sized drive that can hold a full 256GB is mind blasting (specially for someone like me who used to hunt for 16MB memory cards at some time to fit into a Nokia :P ).

The Data-traveler 300 works with Windows, Mac and Linux offering great compatibility. Now only if they could fit in some awesome security in it with a mobile connectivity on an Android? … god the possibilities are amazing (or I am just thinking a little too wild)!!

Memory Pill USB Drive

June 7th, 2009

memory-pill

You always wish for a pill that could let you remember things and increase your memory so that you never fail in exams. Well, here is a pill that can store some memory for you but can’t help you pass exams without cheating.

The pill is a USB drive with an attached keychain. The Pill USB Drive is only a 64 Mb drive. The keychain being attached to the cap leaves you with a risk of the USB part falling off with all your 64MB worth of data. Not the smartest design, but a gizmo nevertheless.

Its available through Giftlab @ $18.

Lacie gets innovative with ‘its a key’ and ‘i am a key’ USB Drives

March 15th, 2009

An unusual name for a pen drive – iamakey and itsakey. But the design is equally unusually. At first I thought that its a USB key for cars that would also probably work with ATM’s and has a biometric fingerprint scanner inbuilt … :D

key-pen

But as it turns out its just a Key shaped USB Flash drive concept from Lacie. So you can attach this to your Keychain (along with your real keys I guess) and ensure that when you lose either of them (USB or Key) – your loss is double. So the fear of this double loss might probably make you a little more attentive and would subconsciously motivate you to take better care… :P

However I would rather use this to fool people who want to borrow my Pendrives. I would tell them this one goes into my bike! (Apparently I have lost over 8 pendrives with people borrowing them and not returning it)

Via UberReview

And yeah, If you really wanted to know these would cost you between $15-28 (4GB and 8GB variants in different designs. Check here)
