USB Drives To Delight, Or Not

by Staff Writer

Even photographers use those USB flash drives too. Heck, we lose a lot of them. To replace the ones we lost, here’s a few of them. Take your pick.

The Darth Vader USB Stick:

The Darth Vader USB stick comes in 1GB, 2GB and 4GB versions and Mimoco – who makes really outrageous flash drives (designer drives, they say) – is offering you these totems of the Dark Force to convince you to join them. Not everyone can have this though, not only because of their limited (about 3,000 units) edition, but because they’re a bit pricey: $80-$170 a pop depending on the Gigs. But don’t worry, there’s more.

The Rubber Ducky USB Drives:

Choose from the cute little rubber ducky into which you can stuff your tutorials and other school work, or the Evil Rubber Ducky from EverythingUSB where you can stuff all your you-know-what.

The EZVue USB Flash Drive:

The EZVue from Royal Vista may actually be quite useful because it features a small LCD display that scrolls the contents of the flash drive with the push of a button. Available in 128MB to 1GB capacities. $50 for the 128MB version.

And finally this:

From Japan, the land of the Rising Sun and of those oh-so-realistic imitation food that you see in Japanese restaurants, the Sushi USB Drives. Drives me nuts!

Thanks Engadget and Gizmodo for the pics. (chrismalinao)
