World's Smallest USB Drive - Pico C USB 4 GB to 32 GB

World's Smallest USB Drive: A range of USB Drives have gone on sale this week boasting the smallest size and weight in the industry.

A key advantage of the USB drive has always been their size. Now the SuperTalent Pico C takes it to another level.

It may be tiny, weighing less than 6 grams but that doesn’t prevent it from holding up to 32 GB of data.

This flash drive is speedy too, “the I/O performance results are amazing when it comes to the Super Talent Pico C.” explained Tom’s Hardware reviewer Patrick Schmid. However the Pico suffers from slower write speeds. Patrick went on to say “the flash-based thumb drive is great for file storage, but not for intensive access.”

Measuring just 1.5”x0.5”, it’s possible to attach the Pico USB drive to a key ring. This means there is no need to worry about losing it.

The first USB flash drive went on sale in 2000. By 2005 many computer manufacturers stopped including floppy disk drives in their products to make way for more USB ports. USB flash drives act as the modern alternative to floppy disks. Unlike a floppy disk drive, USB ports appear on more than just

Voyager Port - Corsair Launches - CeBIT

Corsair launches Voyager Port at CeBIT

In an effort to better market its flash drives as more than just this generation's floppy drive, Corsair has stepped up at CeBIT this year to introduce the Voyager Port. Put simply, this flash drive dock connects to one's PC and provides one-touch backup straight to whatever USB stick is plugged in.


By including the NovaBackup 10 software, the docking station transfers a copy of a user's hard drive to any USB drive (provided that it's large enough), and while you may argue that an external HDD could do just the same, this could be a cheaper option for someone who already threw down for a capacious USB stick. Pop down below for a look at the admittedly simple device.
