Sony Micro Vault Tiny might be too tiny

Written by Richard Blanchard on June 30th, 2006. Posted in Flash Storage, USB News

Is tiny really that much better? Sony has their new Micro Vault Tiny USB flash storage line and it’s small, very small. But as with our Failing USB Drive article you’ve got to treat these guys with kid-gloves. Flash memory is not as durable just because there are no moving parts – so is smaller really better? This guy has so little a casing it does make you wonder what would happen with a little wear-and-tear. Micro Vault Tiny USB 2.0 drives are just 1.45cm x 3cm x 2.7mm. This is about half the size of conventional USB key drives, they’re available in capacities of 256MB, 512 MB, 1GB and 2GB. They’ll first find homes in Korea, then take the boat over to the states.
