What is the smallest USB drive?

[ZeroBullet]

The ones we sell here at Staples all seem sort of big :\

Thanks!

i'm going out on a limb and saying 16mb.

 

[ZeroBullet]

oh, sorry! Should have specified, I meant physical dimensions, not capacity

 

[BoyBlunder]

oh haha.

well, i have a sandisk that's pretty small...

also i think there's something out there that's called the i-stick (short for intelligent stick or something), and that's extremely small based on reviews.

google it

I also have a Sandisk. The Cruzer mini. 256mb, and it's tiny.

The iStick from PQI. Comes in sizes from 32MB to 512MB, and it's about as thick as two credit cards, and about as wide as your pinky. It's completely flat, and actually smaller than the USB port (it fits in half of the port).

I have two, and love them. I carry them in my wallet.

No.

That picture is for the case for it. It's not an adapter.

The older models have a rectangular case that holds two of them. I much prefer that case to the funky single-stick case shown in that picture.

The iStick is still much smaller.

 

[karoth]

The Iomega is 40 x 18 x 8 mm (LxWxD)
The iStick is 43.3 x 18 x 2.8 (LxWxD) ((if my math is right)

So, the Iomega is thinker and shorter. It won't crack in half, and includes its own USB plug cover and key ring attachment thingy.


So, the iStick is NOT much smaller... about the same size....

8mm vs. 2.8mm. The iStick is MUCH smaller (thickness).

iomega is shorter.
