Kingston 64GB DataTraveler 150 Flash Drive: from $144.36

At 64GB, the Kingston DataTraveler 150 Flash Drive is an awesome accessory for keeping sensitive data safely backed up on a remote source or keeping it easily accessible and transportable right in your pocket.   Especially if you often work on multiple computers, toggling between the office and home with large files, this is a great alternative to carrying that portable but sensitive HDD back and forth.

The convenient USB port plug-in makes for simple click-and-drag access to your documents, spreadsheets, photos and other data.  Cap rests on end when in use to prevent loss or misplacement and the drive’s red color immediately lets you know it’s important.

Compatible with Windows Vista, Windows XP (SP1 and above), Windows 2000 (SP3 and above), Mac OS X (10.1 and above) and Linux (2.4 and above) operating systems, the Kingston 64GB DataTraveler 150 Flash Drive lets you store and carry more files than ever before with a high-speed 2.0 USB interface.

If 64 gigs is too much drive for you, Kingston also has a 16GB flash memory version available.

Yes, we saw the condom storage design and the tampon flash drive (*shudder*); these little guys are coming in all shapes and sizes these days.  Here are a few more fun and flashy (haha) ways to travel with your data.

Snow White jokes aside, the Jeweled Apple USB Drive Pendant ($21) has a lot of bling and the apple design makes it a great match for educators.  It measures 45mm x 45mm x13mm, and weighs 40g, available in red, pink, blue and white.  It hangs on a long chain and the pendant itself weighs 40g, 2GB drive.

Meow? *paw* *paw* … The Paw USB Flash Drive ($17) is way too cute for its own good.  With a simple design, it can be also attached to keys or bag.  And the cap can be attached to the little accessory the flash drive is in use so you don’t lose it. 2GB capacity, 45×34x9mm, weighs 15g.

It’s a thumb drive ($17). Nuff said.  Product Specs: 2GB, USB 2.0, plug and play, 60×27x25mm, weighs 20g.
