“Traveling disk” isn't really correct, but that is what PQI calls it

PQI's USB 3.0 Intelligent Drive U821V is a flash drive through and through, but that didn't stop the company from branding it a traveling “disk.”

There are no disks involved here, but we digress.

Armed with a stainless steel case, it is unusual in that it doesn't actually have an USB plug to uncap or push out, not distinguishable from the rest of the drive anyway.

PQI didn't give any prices but it did mention 8 GB, 16 GB and 32 GB versions of the device, as well as a LED at the end, which flashes blue when data is read.

The size is 14.0 x 32.5 x 8.6 mm (0.55 x 1.27 x 0.32 inches) and the weight is 6.19 grams. All versions are sold with a lifetime warranty and lanyards that make it easy to attach them to a bag, employee badge, phone, etc.
