OCZ has released the Ultra-slim Large-capacity Mega-Kart USB 2 Flash Card. With 8 GB of memory, the OCZ Mega-Kart series is the ultimate data storage solution from OCZ "for today's computer enthusiasts and business professionals on the go. The beauty of the new Mega-Kart series is the unparalleled, ultra-slim architecture that is thin enough to carry in a wallet." It has 1 year warranty.

The Mega-Kart is recommended for individuals who need to carry large quantities of data, including presentations, programs, films, and entire portfolios, yet don't want to lug around a laptop or bulky pocket drive. Users can access files stored on the Mega-Kart from the convenience of any USB port thanks to the built-in, high-speed USB 2.0 cable with True "Plug and Play" functionality.

You can instantaneously play music and movies, view images, or open files as if the Mega-Kart were an onboard hard drive. The Mega-Kart features a glowing LED to signal read/write activity.

The specs are rather scarce on OCZ's site: High Speed USB 2 Certified; Dimensions - 85mm X 54 mm X 3.5 mm (LxWxH); True Plug and Play (Compatible with MAC OS X, Windows 98, 98SE, ME, 2K, XP, Linux Kernel 2.4 or later, Mac OS 9 or later); LED Status Light.

Although no price is available yet, The Inquirer makes a guess based on similar products prices, and advances the sum of $200.
