Hi all,

I could do with a new USB flash drive as my current one is starting to get a bit shabby and only offers 128mb. I use it daily for work and I'm getting really bored of seeing it - It's pretty hideous.

I've had a search around for a nicely designed, small and sleek flash drive without joy - They're all pretty ugly. You'd have thought that something that is more useful than a watch to some people would be worth some nice design work.

Anyone know of any nice flash drives?

The one i've got looks like this:

What about the Sandisk Cruzer Mini? I think they look pretty nice.

I got mine on ebay about a year ago, but I've seen it in some online stores recently. The only details I know is that it has Samsung memory...and its tiny, cool, has an aluminium cover and turns heads as much as any thumbdrive can! :D

 
i have a corsair flash voyager now. it's nice, very fast, and covered in thick rubber, but it doesn't look very good. i just ordered a 60gb lacie skwarim last night since i needed at least a 4gb flash drive as an upgrade from my 1gb and for the same price i could get a tiny 60gb drive :eek:
now that's an interesting looking thing!

I have the 256mb SanDisk Cruzer Micro and it is very nice looking.

It's availible in: 256mb ($16), 512mb ($30), 1gb ($47), and 2gb($70).

edit: I also have used the Cruzer Mini and it is a very good thumbdrive.

14-Ct. gold and 5 polished diamonds USB flash drive.

And then you can go get one of these iPod cases.

A company called Miniot have created an iPod case carved out of a single piece of rare and in some cases extinct hardwood, it is available for the 30 or 60GB iPods and iPod Nano.

YAY, extinct hardwood!
