Thin and tiny Pico USB packs a mean punch

September 10th, 2009 by Kunal

When it comes to modern flash drives, a basic mathematical concept comes into play: inverse proportionality. While the flashdrives’ data capacities are increasing, the drives’ dimensions are reducing drastically at the same time. Case in point: the Pico USB flash drive. It’s the size of your finger tip and still can hold upto 32GB of data.

The measurements of this tiny USB equal 31.3mm x 12.4mm x 3.4mm. This less-than-4mm thick flash drive comes in three variants – 8GB, 16GB and 32GB. The Pico drive impresses you with its polished chrome and nickel finish, and surprises you with its shock and water-resistant feature. With that tiny size, the drive still maintains a decent data transfer speed of upto 30 mbps. The plug-and-play drive is Mac, Windows and Linux compatible.

For those who worry about losing it because of its size, the drive comes with a chain to hang onto a keychain or the like. The 8GB version is available for US$29.99, 16GB for US$69.99 and 32 GB for US$139.99.
