Ancient Egyptian USB Drives

USB jewelry is no longer news but despite the rather common character of such gadgets, new pieces are being designed and crafted every week and some of them are really looking good. Such is the case with these two new USB pendants, which come in an all-time favorite design – Egyptian. You don't have to be a fan of the ancient civilization to grow to like these two nifty small pieces of tech-art – they're just cool and they can also make excellent gifts for the ladies you befriend.

The Ancient Egyptian USB drives come in two designs: one bears the shape of the Sphinx while the other one depicts an Egyptian citizen.

Unlike many other similar gadgets, these two thingies come with a metallic housing rendering them far more enduring in the face of daily abuse. The golden metallic shine is very nicely complemented by traditional Egyptian colorful designs with black, white, red and blue, making these USBs look better than your common thumbdrive.

The speed standard is fully-compliant USB 2.0 and they are backward compatible with USB 1.1 ports. The plug and play character is quite convenient while the hot-swapping capability is a true time-saver. The Ancient Egyptian USB drives will provide you with 2 GB of storage space each and they weigh only 30 grams a piece; you can use them with Windows Vista, XP, 2000 and Mac OS.

The USB connectors boast a retractable construction so one can enjoy wearing them as a pendant hanging on the supplied necklace. With these cool USB drives you can be stylish and carry your important files with you at the same time; you can take a wild guess and assume that the golden shine on these drives isn't exactly gold... after seeing that these USB dongles retail for $22 a pop, the mystery is solved. Cool stuff, though!
