LaCie iamaKey, A USB Flash Drive in The Shape of a Key

LaCie iamaKey

The LaCie iamaKey is quite possibly the coolest USB flash drive I’ve ever seen.

With the new LaCie iamaKey, inventive storage meets data protection. The key-shaped design is functional and memorable, and the protection that the LaCie iamaKey offers makes it extremely reliable. Best of all, with its 4GB and 8GB models, you can fit an enormous amount of data in a small flash drive. With the universal Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interface, iamaKey can be used with both PC and Macs. Hi-Speed USB 2.0 not only offers universal compatibility and cross-platform convenience, but features a hot-pluggable connection and high-speed transfer rates, and is Windows ReadyBoost™ compatible. With its eye-catching design, the iamaKey certainly stands out, but its connector (Gold SIP) is both water- and scratch-resistant, making it one of the most durable and thinnest USB keys on the market. Protective edges on the connectors ensure that you’ll always insert the LaCie iamaKey properly, keeping it usable and safe.

LaCie also makes the larger itsaKey, as well as the PassKey, a microSD USB Card Reader and the CurrenKey, a USB Flash Drive in the shape of a coin.

Looks nice.

BUT: “…iamaKey can be used with both PC and Macs.” Only with these two systems? Ignorants!

(I know, that it would work with Linux, FreeBSD, OpenSolaris and so on. But I hate phrases like this.)

While a bit bulkier, the CurrenKey looks quite nice as well. I’m going to have to order one of these.
