Memory sticks are a dime a dozen nowadays, with everybody from traditional storage companies to your bank branding a USB stick. As a result, those who make money off memory sticks have had to find clever solutions to get you to pay attention to their devices. Thing is, they’ve gone and taken it a bit far. Here’s a look at the class of ‘cool USB sticks that may just be too cool for school’.
Pretec i-Disk Bulletproof
What on earth is up with people making bulletproof computer accessories? Are people going to work in the technological equivalent of mid 1990s Beirut? Jeez. But, in case you do want a bulletproof memory stick for heaven knows what, the Pretec i-Disk Bulletproof 16GB stick is likely to cater to your needs. That sure is some valuable data you carry.

Right, then, perhaps you’re not tough enough to go to war with your data, but happen to be too business savvy and sophisticated to even carry a memory stick. So, what do you do when, well, you need to transfer data? Why, of course, just hide the 2GB memory stick in your cufflinks! Not only do you get to drop $100 (just under £70) on super snooty fashion accessories, you also get a cool USB stick with a 2GB capacity hidden in one of your cuffs. Will that be all, Mr. Bond?
El Cheapo!
Being bulletproof is a way to get noticed. As is being sophisticated and Bond-like in your execution. But there is one way to get noticed without even trying. And that is by being super cheap. Oh, you like that do you? How does dropping a mere £2.94 for a 4GB Kingston Data Traveler sound? We thought that would get your attention. And it took the good folks at Kingston to remind us all that you can have a unique memory stick proposition by pricing them cheaper than fags. How about that?
