New 4GB Flash Drive Packs Quite a Punch

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the now-even-easier-to-lose-with-your-keys dept.

PCPro has a neat little tidbit about a new flash drive from Corsair. This little drive, only half the size of a lighter, packs a punch with 4GB of data storage and a very reasonable price tag (approx $32 USD). "When a Corsair rep turned up at Dennis Towers yesterday he told us he'd brought something pretty special to show off. We were therefore distinctly underwhelmed when he said it was ... a flash drive. But this flash drive needs seeing to be believed. It's been passed all round the office, where it's invariably been greeted with ooohs and aaaahs of grinning appreciation."

    I keep one of these in my wallet. It's wafer-thin. Pretty much the size of a flash chip plus a USB connector wafer. They come in sizes up to 8GB.

    Dam, even a 15 second foray to Newegg turns up no fewer than 4 drives that are small, have a capacity of 4 gigs, and are well rated.

    The SuperTalent Pico drives (in particular the C) are smaller. I recently purchased a 4gb model for half the price of these. You can also get the Pico with 8gb. I am not impressed with what Corsair is offering.
