The Taiwanese PQI company will soon release a new 16 GB USB flash drive - U510 - which has the same size as a credit card (85mm x 54mm x 3mm).

Even if the new U510 is not the smallest USB flash-drive, as Kingmax has recently launched Super Stick, the device has the biggest storage capacity.

The design is also impressive, as you can see with your own eyes, but, because of all these remarkable features, the USB's flash drive price is estimated to be somewhere between $500 and $2000.

The world's smallest USB flash drive is Super Stick from Kingmax, a gadget weighing only five grams and measuring 39x12x2 mm, based on the microSD technology, the smallest flash memory on the market.

The stick uses USB 2.0 interface and offers really good transfer speeds: 20 MB/s, both writing and reading. The capacities of the Super Stick range from the entry-level 256 MB to the "too big for its size" 2GB.
