We have been commissioned to carry out a research to ascertain flash drives which are fit to make their way into James Bond’s arsenal. Okay, not really. But these flash drives are not a corny joke like the one we just made. They have something peculiar about them. Not your regular vanilla ice cream of flash drives; they are like sundaes topped with exotic nuts. Or like the mutant X-men of flash drives. You get the point, right? Yeah, so don’t be too surprised if you catch Mr. Bond using one of these drives on his next mission.

 

 

LaCie iamaKey

Can you imagine James Bond wasting time searching for his flash drive in the heat of climax? Nah, he needs something that can be whipped out quicker than a holster pistol when he’s trying to steal data from the bad guys. LaCie iamaKey is shaped like a key and can be fixed on any standard keychain. This way, there’s no wasting time in trying to locate it. Originally made for James Bond, we think; this flash drive could be key gadget in his stash of toys, quite literally.

 

 

LaCie WriteCard

A flash drive which looks like a credit card and fits right into your wallet, how jazzy is that? This hi-speed flash drive is scratch resistant too. If you think that size and shape are the only advantage this flash drive has, think again; it also sports a small pen and a notepad fixed into it. To write down those little secret codes and ‘note-to-self’ reminders, presumably to help Bond destroy something that needs to be destroyed.

 

 

Centon DataStick Sport

What kind of a Bond gadget would it be if it can’t be carried without damage while sneaking into enemy territory underwater to carry out a mission? This flash drive is water proof. In fact, Centon challenges you to leave it in the washing machine to test its strength. It is also fortified with a double casing that protects the device from shock damage, effortlessly making it the strongest of them all.

 

 

Transcend 4GB 220

Bond will never have to worry about confidential data again; because the 220 comes equipped with a biometric scanner. To access data from this flash drive, you have but two options: Get Bond or get his thumb. And we’ll bet that both are unlikely to be available at your ready beck and call. The best thing is that the biometric scanner itself doesn’t use any external power to work and can be used just by plugging it into to any computer or laptop.

LaCie MosKeyto

The smaller, the better, they say, especially when it comes to clandestine operations. The MosKeyto is so tiny that people wouldn’t even notice the device plugged in on a laptop. It might just be the world’s tiniest flash drive measuring all of 20mm in length, and just 6mm when it is plugged in to a laptop! 6mm is almost close to nothing, or as they call it, “The next best thing to nothing”. If your nemesis is someone who doesn’t let even the minutest detail escape his keen eye, MosKeyto is your best bet to plug in under their nose without them ever finding out about it.
