LaCie Takes USB Key a Bit Too Literal

Written by Richard Blanchard on March 4th, 2009. Posted in Flash Storage, USB News

LaCie launched a new line of USB keys that look like, well…keys.  I’ve mentioned a key looking USB key before, but it was just a prototype.  Here LaCie made USB keys a real-deal and they look pretty sweet.

There are three models LaCie has introduced.  The PassKey, IamaKey and Itsakey.

Engadget reports these guys also have microSD card readers, but I honestly don’t see where that is, but clearly a nice addition.

Warning:  Putting these USB keys on your keychain could cause some irreversible damage after a late night of drinking and you’re jamming the wrong key into your door lock.

Price and availability yet to be announced.
