MNEMOSYNE USB Cube – It’s All a Puzzle To Me

Written by Richard Blanchard on July 1st, 2009. Posted in Flash Storage, Hand Crafted USB, Useless Novelty

The MNEMOSYNE USB cube is an artistic 3 dimension puzzle hiding a 16GB USB key inside.  The product is made by SolidAlliance, which based on their past products, is all a puzzle to me.

These USB fish are rubberized drives giving them a very unique shape and bright, vibrant colors.  I don’t think the typcial computer geek would appreciate these, but for someone a bit more into aquatic life these could be of interest.

World’s Largest USB Stick: Kingston 128GB DataTraveler

Written by Richard Blanchard on June 17th, 2009. Posted in Flash Storage, Kingston

The last time GetUSB.info did a post about the largest USB stick it was for the 64GB Transcend flash drive.  That little guy retailed at near $200, but that was also back in September of 2008.

Two days ago, Kingston released their 128GB USB flash drive.  The Kingstong DataTraveler 200 is “now” the largest USB stick in the market.  128GBs.

This guy retails for $546.  That is a very expensive drive when you compare it to the Western Digital Passports where Terabytes are under $300…but you can’t put a price tag on portability.  Or can you?

There are no special features nor auto-backup software included in the bundle, just a simple drive with a ginormous capacity, a sliding cap, and password utility for extra security. Strangely enough, Kingston will only sell the 128GB version as a made to order process.  Go figure.

Written by Richard Blanchard on June 15th, 2009. Posted in Flash Storage, GetUSB Dealz

Dane Memory is running a special this week through Buy.com for a 16GB USB flash drive for $27 and change.  This is a great price considering almost all the other 16GB drives are between $38-40.  In addition, you are getting some great produce.  Dane Memory uses only the best controllers and flash memory [Toshiba flash] so the performance is Category 6.  Considering most netbooks these days have 64GB hard drives, this nice little pocket addition of 16GB could make all the difference when a bit more storage is needed.

Another feature worth noting is the capless design.  Much better than the swing arms we’ve seen out there.
