CurrenKey Coin-Shaped Flash Drive: It’s Almost a Good Idea

9:40AM Sean Fallon | Kudos to LaCie for making their flash drives more portable—although, the coin-shape may prove problematic. It won’t be long before your sensitive data ends up in the hands of some Starbucks employee. More »

Biodegradable Flash Drives Were a Long Time Coming

8:30AM Mark Wilson | Electronics manufacturer Hoshino has just announced “the world’s first biodegradable USB disk.” It’s constructed of the corn-based plastic polylactide, and just in case you forget that fact, they’ve shaped the drive like an ear of corn. We don’t have a lot of information on the device, but it appears they’ve figured out how to make the entire drive biodegradable, not just the casing (though that cop-out is certainly a possibility). Since most of our electronics we’re using right now won’t be part of our daily arsenal in two to three years, it’s good to see manufacturers at least considering how we’ll dispose of all this junk.

High Dexx USB Flash Drives Combine USB Flash Drives With Highlighters

5:30AM Jason Chen | If you asked us what two things on our desk that we’d want to combine into one thing, we’d probably pick these two things, the USB drive and the highlighter.

What more connection do you need? Thanks, High Dexx USB Flash Drive. You know exactly what we’re thinking. [Gadgtes2Order via Oh Gizmo] More »

‘Nailed’ Flash Drive For People Who Secretly Hate Their Computer

6:00AM Sean Fallon | There are plenty of odd USB drives out there–especially ones shaped like food. But those drives are meant for happy-go-lucky types that may or may not have an eating disorder. But what about hotheads that have a love/hate relationship with their computer? Plankon’s 1GB “Nailed” USB drive fills that void with a design that almost begs short-tempered nerds to smash an unruly laptop with a hammer. Available for the steep price of US$45. More »

Brando EKmemory Micro Flash Drive Suprisingly Not Cheapest, Smallest Of Them All

11:45PM John Mahoney | I’ve been meaning to buy a Super Talent Pico flash drive for a while–they’re 8GB, 31mm long (claiming world’s smallest) and have a metal loop that looks like it won’t break (hopefully) on my keyring. Now Brando is jumping into the ultra-tiny flash game, and surprisingly, the 8GB EKmemory Micro will run you US$55–US$20 more than what the Pico is going for. And the Micro is packing an extra four millimeters to boot. For shame Brando, for shame. [Brando via Pocket Lint] More »

Buffalo’s 32GB and 64GB SSDs For Eee PC Get Launch Date, Price

6:13PM Kit Eaton | Asus’s EeePC 901 has already proved itself very hackable but Buffalo’s newest product won’t require much modding: 32GB or 64GB replacement SSD’s. Not much more to say, apart from the obvious: more storage, more impact resilient, longer battery life. The best bit? The 32GB SHD-EP9M32G is a mere US$156, and the 64GB SHD-EP9M64G an equally neat US$316. Available in Japan at first, mid-September. More »
