These USB flash drives are not what you normally see. They are custom built from old cars and I must admit that they do look rather cool. Each costs $17 and has a capacity of 256MB. Another picture is available after the jump.

USB Hamburger Flash Drive
July 23, 2007 by 2 Comments
USB Flash Drives come in many shapes and sizes these days. The latest one I came across today was the Hamburger version which has a 2GB storage capacity and can transfer data at 8MBps. It supports USB 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and 2.0, so however old your PC is you should be ok. The drive has at least 10 years of data retention and it can be written to 1 million times. I think that will suffice as in 10 years 2GB will be laughed at just like my PSION 128K flash disk 10 years ago. It is named Freshly Baked and looks quite cool.
The freshly baked (not really) drive will cost you $59.99 from Vavolo.

USB drives are very popular devices which allow you to store large amounts of documents, image, video and other files. As devices shrink down in size they tend to have more ability to get lost. The USB credit card flash drive aims to tackle that as it can be stored in your wallet along with other credit cards which you have a habit of keeping hold of.
When you purchase this drive you have the choice of pre loading it with security software designed to work with the Windows Vista operating system. The cards can transfer files at 480Mbps and sizes from 128Mb to 2Gb are available. If you choose to get the software then 160Mb of space on the flash drive is used but can be deleted once copied to your PC.

The Cruzer Contour from SanDisk is an 8GB USB Flash Drive which recently became available. The design of this flash drive is quite sleek. The design also features a unique slider USB connector which means that you do not ever loose the cap off the end. As can be expected it works at USB 2.0 speeds allowing for quicker transfers. Also another cool feature is its ReadyBoost compatability which allows it to improve system performance on Windows Vista by acting as extra RAM if specified.
Digio USB Flash Drive
May 10, 2007 by Leave a Comment
Some great ideas for flash drives have been showing up over the last couple of years. We only just posted about the Pocket XP flash drive which allowed you to keep a backup of your OS should you need to do an urgent install when on the road. The Digio is another example of a great idea. This time the flash drive includes SD and MicroSD slots so you can transfer data to and from your SD cards via the flash drive. Its a simple idea which could be handy for those situations where you need to quickly backup data from your camera or mobile phone.
Solar Powered USB Flash Drive
March 27, 2007 by Leave a Comment
Shenzhen Truth Digital Technology, or TRUS has created a USB flash drive with LCD display. The display appears to be used for showing storage space available, although having a file browser could happen too. We doubt the latter part though. The device also sports a solar panel which we guess is to keep the screen powered.
The device doesnt look too exciting to be honest although showing used space could be ok if you have a number of flash drives to choose from.

Many flash drives are coming out with fancy new features such as LCD displays showing memory usage, titanium ones which are super strong. However, I have not seen or even thought of modding a Pez dispenser to make in to a flash drive. This is exactly what Metku did. In the picture above we see a familiar character from the Incredibles converted over in to being a flash drive.

Buslink 64Gb USB Flash Drive
October 16, 2006 by Leave a Comment
Buslink have created a 64Gb flash drive thats not too cheap. It costs over $5000. This drive provides an easy way to transfer large amounts of files. It can read at 20Mb/s and write at 15Mb/s. The case is a ribbed metal allow and very sturdy.
This is the ultimate in portable storage. I guess the only con right now is the heafty $5k+ price tag. No doubt by next year these will be common place and a lot cheaper! I will be waiting a year or 2 before even thinking about buying one of these.
The device can plug right in to your PC/Laptop and files can then be transferred right away. It uses the USB mass storage standard.
