The USB flash drive in the picture is a based on the manga series Lupin the Third. If you are a fan you’ll simply have to get it. Inside that sitting Lupin plugged into your computer, you can store 4GB of all sorts of files, possibly even Lupin episodes. In case you hate manga and don’t know what a Lupin is or how it looks like, then simply look for another USB flash drive.

How small a mini hard drive would you like? Portable you say? Would 64 gigs do? How about if someone got those gigs instead into a USB flash drive?

The Patriot Memory 64GB Xporter Magnum is exactly the flash drive I am talking about. It’s said it has 210x read speed so you’d probably love it if you buy it. The flash drive is certified to work with Microsoft Window ReadyBoost, in case you were wondering about that. We’ll let you know more about pricing and availability dates later when we have them!

Duracell is known by the good (?) and expensive batteries that have been in the market for more than 50 years, but it looks like that market is a becoming bit small, and therefore they picked storage devices as their second “weapon” of choice.

The new storage devices will be made in cooperation with Dane-Elec, and the catalog includes a big number of products, such as normal USB Flash Drives, and different memory cards: SD, microSD, Secure Digital, CompactFlash, and others.

At the moment the products are already available online, at DuracellFlash, but unfortunately there is no information about the price of each device.

I am sucker for USB flash drives. The cooler it looks the more I’d want to get it. What I should be looking is storage space and transfer speeds right? Wrong! I evaluate the overall visual impression.

And today I found an USB sandal flash drive which would remind me of summer. If you’re happy with just 2GB of memory then go pick a sandal up. You can always get a pair of those if you need more space. The 2GB Sandal USB Flash Drive costs just $17. I’ll have a size 9 and 1/2 please!

In the past when USB Flash Drives weren’t so common, people didn’t care much about the style or design of the portable storage devices. But in nowadays it is all different because there is too much to offer, and when we reach that point it is originality that counts to make a difference.

With this in mind, take a look at this Mahjong styled drives that can be customized to suit your needs. You can pick the type of wood, title, and name of the drive.

As expected with unique devices of this kind, the price is rather expensive when compared to the 32GB Kingston. $400 is what you have to pay depending if you pick a 8GB or 16GB version.

This is way to cool a gadget to miss out on. The above set has multiple functions. You get three colored highlighters, which are blue, yellow and green, an USB memory flash drive with up to 2GB of space, and an USB hub to hold them all together.

I know what you’re thinking. What if you have to use orange to highlight something that demands an orange highlighter? Here is a more complicated solution: scan the document, highlight it in orange and print it out again.

I am not that clear with the pricing so better check it out here.

We’ve just seen the James Bond watch and USB drive so I guess you deserve to take a look at Super Talent’s new flash drive. The Pico-C Gold is a really tiny flash drive. It measures 31.3mm x 12.4mm x 3.4mm and it offers an amazing 8GB or available memory. It’s water and shock resistant and it could basically go anywhere you’re going. As long as you don’t lose it.

And that’s right, it’s gold plated. No wonder they call it Gold as it has 24-carat gold all over it. The price you ask? It’s just $40. It’s a really affordable piece of jewelry. It might even fit in your watch. Or simply wear it around your neck. Tell them it’s a symbol of your religion.

Super Talent Marketing Director, Joe James said about the Pico-C Gold:

Is it the speed, the ruggedness, the water resistance, the incredibly tiny size or the pure elegance that people like most in our Pico-C drive? Who knows? But, this combination of features and style is not offered in any other terrestrial storage device, which makes it a real craze

So, are you ready to order one?
