The Top 10 Weirdest USB Drives Ever

Posted by Zonk on from the mmmm-dimsum dept.

Ant writes "Fosfor Gadgets lists the top weirdest USB drives ever, including photographs. Sushi and shrimps look yummy." From the article: "We start off with the least weird USB drive, and it's the iDuck from the Japanese company Solid Alliance. They are available in six different colors and the version on the picture even lights up when it's plugged in. It's cute so it's not that hard to understand why it's popular, right?"

    at first, i thought "oh what's the big deal? you can stick a little flash drive ANYWHERE these days"

    but then ...

    Rip the head of the cute Barbie doll, and plug it into your PC.

    can you say TWISTED???

      Oh C'mon, like who hasn't ripped off Barbies head?

      Though I think they have it backwards, the head should be the drive, pluggin the body in is just absurd.

    Anything, even the weirdest USB drives ever, could only improve on the sad, shallow life you now lead.

  5. iDisk by The+Amazing+Fish+Boy · · Score: 4, Interesting

    They're all pretty weird, except the iDisk. That product seems pretty useful to me. I might actually be tempted to keep that little thing on me, unlike clunker "keychains". I could put it in my wallet, for instance. Who cares about the likelihood of losing it? That doesn't make it "weird." When I buy it I know it's small.* Small is useful. It's not weird at all.

    * There's a joke in there, somewhere. Go nuts.**
    ** Yeah, I know.

      Has anyone out there ever used a usb drive this small, and was it effective?

      It's convenient, but the bits are so small.

      I concur. I used it to store a Word document (a research paper). When I read it off the disk, the average font size had gone from 12 to 6. That's some serious bit shrinkage. The shrinkage seems to occur in all the critical places.

      I used one to store my bank account information, and found that my money was convered from dollars to cents.

      However, that doesn't compare to the horrors that will befall the user that attempts to use this drive to store their pr0n collection, and views the result.
