Introducing World's Smallest USB Stick
Today Dutch company Deonet known for their strange USB storage designs has yet again introduced something different. Deonet claims to have made the worlds smallest production USB stick. Coming in at a meager 31.5 x 14.8 x 7.3 mm, Deonets touts seem to be true.
The stick is set to hit the market in 4, 8 or 16 GB flavors at the PSI Düsseldorf this coming January. According to Gizmag, "It's based around something called the Micro UDP chip (where UDP stands for the USB Disk In Package assembly process, which sees the controller, flash IC, substrate and passive components molded into a very small, single package), which is less than half the physical size of other USB memory solutions." Since this USB stick is so small its said to fit flush and is almost invisible on a dark surface. No pricing has been set by Deonet yet. ![]() Source: Gizmag Last edited by TheMailMan78; Dec 22, 2011 at 08:58 PM. |

The irony of it is that you'd have to attach it to something much larger, in order not to lose it!

I really don't see any purpose in having USB sticks so small.
Can't even really call it a stick. More like a stub. I'd rather prefer a USB stick which is at least a couple of inches and has fast data transfer. The smallest USB stick I have is a limited edition SanDisk Cruzer Blade. Sure it's small but it's data transfer speed is absolute rubbish. |

USB "sticks" have become such a huge gimmick. Some of them are cute, some are stupid, and some are outrageously overpriced. To small is to small, if I back up some data the last thing I want to do is loose the drive I put it on!

I want this. I like to keep a flash drive in my wallet, so the smaller the better. Currently I just use a MicroSD card reader that's basically just the size of a standard USB plug.

I can't remember the brand, but at work we have these USB 'sticks' which are literally an inch of rectangular plastic, I think they may have been made by verbatim. Those would be more appropriate than these things. |
