Put your hand up if you’ve lost at least one USB drive in the last 12 months because it was either too small or you don’t know where you placed it?
While it’s nice of manufacturers to make USB drives more diminutive in size, it really doesn’t help people like me who will lose these kinds of things no matter how big or small anyway. Lacie have come to the rescue. They’ve created the Lacie USB Key which are USB flash drives in the shape of household keys – yes literally. This means that you can have your small / thin form factor as well as reduce the risk of losing it by securing it with your other keys on a key ring! Bewdy!
This one of a few posts I will create on some Christmas gift ideas you can get for your geek friend!
