Super Talent has announced a 2-carat, gold-plated thumb drive. It's water-resistant too.
Er, why?
Joe James, the company's marketing director, doesn't know, saying: “Is it the speed, the ruggedness, the water resistance, the incredibly tiny size or the pure elegance that people like most in our Pico-C drive? Who knows? But, this combination of features and style is not offered in any other terrestrial storage device, which makes it a real craze.”
Back on planet Earth the smallish device, at 1.3mm x 12.4mm x 3.4mm and weighing less than 5gm, has an 8GB capacity, meaning you could store more than 2,000 MP3 versions of the Goldfinger song, It also has a gold chain, adding to the bling appeal.
The 8GB Pico-C Gold drive, part number STU8GPCG, is available from NewBiiz and NewEgg today for under $40.
