How cutesy, a key shaped USB 'Key' flash drive. The play on words and key-like shape are certainly amusing but for $36 bucks I'm not sure its worth the dough for its double meaning, even if it can hold only 2GB of storage. And then there is the fact that Lacie has more affordable iamaKeys that are a very similar concept. The blue 'key' is compatible with both a Mac and PC, just don't try opening your door with it.

We love Lego Star Wars and just about anything USB, so what better when you combine the two and you have Lego Star Wars USB Memory Sticks.

If you are in the market for a new external portable hard drive, then the Buffalo MiniStation Metro is a good solution for your portable storage needs. Its smart and clean design is perfect for throwing into a briefcase or pocketbook. Its very lightweight at only 8.5 ounces and it has a unique exterior with an integrated Flex USB cable that wraps around the hard drive, thus alleviating an additional bulge in your bag from a USB cable. As a result, you'll never have to worry about forgetting to bring a USB cable with you again. And in case the Flex USB cable is not long enough for your computer, then there is an included extension USB cable to attach to your computer as well. The design also features Buffalo’s BumperBody shock absorbers that "surround the hard drive inside a sturdy body that also has rubberized protectors on the outside." Although not being marketed as a rugged hard drive, we dropped the hard drive a few times from about a foot high on to a desk and threw it around a little to test just how shock absorbing the drive is, and the MiniStation Metro kept on running.
