Awkward timing for solid-gold USB drive

Leslie Katz | Oct 30, 2008

Given the current economic climate, this may be the only USB drive that actually gets more valuable as time goes by. It's an 18-carat solid gold USB drive that screams: "Stockmarket dive, what stockmarket dive?"

The limited-edition drive from Super Talent Technology is a member of the Pico-C line, which is water-resistant and supports data transfer speeds up to 30MBps. The US$599 bit of storage swankness comes with an 18-carat solid gold keychain and a serialized certificate of authenticity. It's wrapped in a black velvet jewelry box, and text or a logo can be etched onto the device at no charge.

The 8GB drive is available only on a preorder basis for a limited time, with three to four weeks lead time. Super Talent calls it a rare collector's item that would make an eloquent corporate ~~bribe~~ gift.
