On the IT market, the smaller a product is the grander an entrance it makes and, even though the fanfare didn't turn out to be too overwhelming, the PNY's Mini M1 USB Flash Drive is no exception.

Weighing just 2.8 grams, the product measures 4.6 mm (H) x 12.3 mm (W) x 24.2 mm (L), or 0.18 x 0.48 x 0.95 inches.

Capacity-wise, buyers will be able to select between 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB and 32 GB, while performance will be dictated by the USB 2.0 standard.

More precisely, reads will happen at 32MB/s and writing will go at 10MB/s.

As for the design, it comes without a cap, but does include a small handle with a hole in it, on the opposite end of the USB plug (for a lanyard or key chain).

Unfortunately, the price of the flash drive was not specified.
