The world's most powerful USB flash drive- the 16GB U510

I thought the USB sticks frenzy stopped. But I was 'purely' mistaken, as a new and interesting LifeSaver emerged. It actually named LifeSaver and features an 8GB memory capacity, backup software and mobile desktop capabilities.

The Venzero LifeSaver is a tiny USB stick with a well-built 8GB microdrive, the smallest in its range, coming with a nice design- a lighter. It would have been pretty interesting if it would have been an all-in-one, and could have used it also as a lighter.

Because of this so called great feature - the mobile desktop preinstalled on the Venzero LifeSaver, the user will be able to access and work on any computer with no need to install a thing. The feature is pretty old mate. I have it on my USB and my little one dates back 2004. Of course, you will use it as you please, but it is good to know that it can store anything, from music and photo albums to critical business documents.

The manufacturer said that its USB stick's huge memory capacity can store so much that we don't need anything else besides this 8GB thumb-drive. But it is wrong, as we can choose another one- PQI's 16 GB USB flash drive - U510 - which has the same size as a credit card (85mm x 54mm x 3mm) and has a price estimated somewhere between $500 and $2000.

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.
