Super Talent Intros World's Smallest 32GB Flash Drive

Super Talent, one of the world's leading vendors of Flash-based storage solutions, has just announced the introduction of the world's smallest 32GB USB drive, coming to complete the company's line of Pico Drives. Weighing less than 6g, this small USB portable storage device is capable of providing you with just enough storage space to back up your most important digital content. In addition, Super Talent has designed these drives to provide users with a unique and stylish look, while also delivering some critical features like water resistance and hardware encryption.

“Our customers have an insatiable need for higher capacity flash drives, but they don't want a big and bulky drive”, Super Talent Director of Marketing Joe James said in a statement. The Pico C drive measures only 31 x 12 x 3 mm and weighs less than an American nickel (~5g), and Super Talent used a COB manufacturing process for its Pico series to achieve the smallest possible size. Pico drives are water resistant and they also support blazing fast read speeds up to 200X (30MB/sec). The 32GB Pico C is offered in either a nickel plated or 24K gold plated steel casing, while the 32GB Pico E, with a patent-pending sliding lid, is available with 24K gold plating. “Pico drives are feature rich and have an unmistakable aura of quality,” Mr. James added.

With the launch of the new 32GB Pico USB flashdrives, the San Jose, California-based Flash memory vendor also introduced the first three models that boast AES-256 hardware encryption, providing users with a more secure way to store and transport data. There are three models that come with this feature, in addition to the water resistance available for all six 32GB Pico drives from Super Talent.

As far as pricing goes, the new USB drives come with a retail price of US$85 and US$99, with the latter also covering the aforementioned AES encryption.
