This is a great collection. I love the ones that look human e.g. the finger. Or the ones that resemble food. Pretty innovative, and cooky. I could scare guys at the office with some of these.

@KrazyCeltic thanks for sharing that link, I think that’s where the ‘thumb’ drive one came from, no?

Thanks for sharing this, I’ve already retweeted it.

A number of clever ones here.

But probably a full half of these are a) not USB, or b) poor Photoshop renderings that don’t actually exist in real life. Could do without those.

Great article. There’s quite a few of those USB drives I want now.

Takara Tomy’s Transformers Device label’s transforming USB drives(Transforms into a jaguar(Ravage) or a Tiger(Tigatron)) would be a great addition to the list.
