I needed a bigger thumb, just came in it's not fancy I guess.

But stuck it on a keyring flashlight, these things are getting crazy small these days.

Might get another.

Smallest one available, but probably also the slowest. Something has to give.

My boss has one of these. I put a load of large files on it and it maxed out at 7MB/s.

I have a 16GB of this:

It's ok. It's a bit thicker than the usual flash drives. I noticed it's a real tight fit for some USB 3.0 ports.

I think it had ~15MB/s write speed.

I've got a 32GB version of that same drive that I keep with my keys. It works for what I want, which is some computer repair software as well as a couple movies. I used to keep important documents but got paranoid about losing it. I have a keygrip that I carry it on, and it fits nicely.

Those are perfect for head unit inputs in the car. Who needs speed to play MP3s?


From what I can tell, it's a MicroSD card inserted in the bottom part of the USB connector. Neat design.

Those wee little ones are great for use with a lappy, where you want to leave it there almost all the time because it doesnt stick out very far nor weigh very much when do you remove it & carry it in your pocket.......

But for desktop use with frequent passing back & forth to different users in the office, I like the ones (like shown in the pic here) that are a little bigger & easier to handle without dropping or worrying about losing it under/behind/inside the desk....

of course YMMV :)

If speed is a big concern, make sure you get a USB 3 stick, AND that you have USB 3 ports to plug it into, otherwise it's really just a mute issue...

Interesting. Yes, impressively miniscule. But, I like the table and the hand blown bird centerpiece more.


^^^this^^^

reminds me of a really smokin hot babe at work though, who wore some really nice, open-back & leather-strapped sandals yesterday......

when I told her she had nice ankles, she appeared to get offended, apparently because I was not looking at her butt or chest (which are a site to see, BTW) :eek: :awe::eek: :eek:

Exactly. Speed doesn't matter in the least once it's loaded.

I have a Kingston 64 GB model that holds 15,000 mp3s. I just leave it constantly attached to the head unit, which I remove daily. It indexes and begins playing in about 15 seconds.

The black end of it sticks out of the head unit about like a cigarette filter standing on its end, just big enough to grab if needed. Very unobtrusive and not prone to being accidentally whacked.

Beats CDs or fooling with a phone or cable for playback. It's down to $30 right now on Amazon, with a 5 year warranty.
