Most Expensive USB Flash Drive

Written by: jeremy Filed Under: Electronics, Luxury, Real Estate on February 18th, 2009

What could be more useful than a USB stick made of gold?

Actually, don’t answer that.

Most expensive USB stick

White Lake’s golden USB flash drive is, at least, sure to make an impression. Custom made with either fourteen- or eighteen-karat gold and maybe even some diamonds thrown into the mix, the most expensive USB drive is guaranteed to suit your individual personality—and by “personality” I mean “the gaping hole in your wallet.”

You can own this expensive flash drive for around $2,800 without diamonds or $3,500 with them. In fact, White Lake is so sure that you’ll want this revolutionary device that they don’t even bother to mention its storage capacity.

Luckily, White Lake’s offering has been trumped by a newer and more original flash drive—the Mnemosyne. This 16GB flash drive defies the standard USB stick format, instead taking the form of a puzzle cube. The drive was hand-crafted from solid aluminum and buffed to a mirror finish by the fine people at Italian/Japanese design firm Toshi Satoji Design. The 3” cube is aptly named after the Greek titan and personification of memory.

The world’s most expensive USB flash drive can be purchased from Japanese-language seller Solid Alliance for the hefty price of 1 million yen (US $10,685).

    Willshire, if some one could afford that expensive USB flash drive then he won’t care how much storage space the drive offers.

    That company said that they don’t even bother to mention the storage capacity so it probably has nothing in there. No storage I bet. They just want you to buy it since it’s gold. RIPOFF maybe. There is no storage in there whatsoever is what I am thinking… they don’t even want to tell how much it holds!
