Corsair has been in the PC hardware business for a long time. The company offers and produces some of the most popular enthusiast memory products around and has a full line of flash drives and SSDs that are available.

Corsair has announced two new modular power supplies that are both 80 Plus Silver certified for energy efficiency. The new models include the HX850W and HX750W and the modular design of the PSUs means that there are no extra cables left inside your PC chassis that you don’t need.

If you’re concerned about the environment, the recycled cardboard USB flash drive is right up your alley. These are basically disposable USB flash drives. As newer, larger capacity drives become cheaper, the older ones typically get tossed aside.

That’s why this is a good idea. No one wants to see a landfill full of old drives. Five of these come together as one large piece. The idea is that when you need one, you just snap one off. And most of the drive can be recycled when you are done with it.

One of the most common ways to transport data and save files today is the ubiquitous flash drive. The little drives are available with tons of storage space and many of them offer encryption to protect sensitive files.

A new product form Gemalto called the YuuWaa has been unveiled that combines the function of a flash drive with software and secured online storage services. The device is available in two models with a YuuWaa Go featuring 4GB of flash storage and 8GB of online storage. The YuuWaa Plus has 8GB of flash storage and 16GB of online space.

We’ve seen our share of Lego USB drives, but these new Lego USB hubs are actually stackable, therefore totally awesome.

Each Lego USB Hub comes with four USB ports, and in a variety of colors that include red, blue, yellow and black. Sadly, they aren’t an official Lego product and so are only available in Korea for about $12 each. That’s a shame. I really wanted to build an entire Lego wall using these and go for the coveted Guinness world record of “Most hubs in a single wall, made by some lonely dork”.

I think we are all pretty sick of seeing bland and boringly designed flash drives. So, whenever we see one that stands out, we salute the maker and give it it’s props. These mini MPC 2000XL and SP1200 flash drives are pretty awesome.

These two drives are replicas of the AKAI MPC2000XL sampler and the EMU SP1200 drum machine. Devices that made hip hop happen. Both drives come in 4GB capacities and can be pre-ordered now for $40. They should ship in June.

Yinlips intros yet another portable device with the sad name of Yinlips attached. The TDB G80 MicroPC offers you another MID alternative that’s more affordable. For $189.99 you get a MID with the Yinlips moniker that has the following specs.

How about a Samsung S3C443 533MHz processor?, 4.3″ touchscreen display at 480 x 272 resolution, 64MB internal memory, miniSD memory card slot, Windows CE 5.0 operating system, and Integrated Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity.

Flash drives are useful little gadgets that allow computer users to easily transfer data between multiple machines and act like the floppy discs of the past. The problem is that moving sensitive files on a flash drive can make for trouble is the drive is unsecured.

Ennova Direct has announced that it has been granted a new patent on a flash drive that features a retractable USB connector. The flash drive has a flip up lid that covers the small OLED screen featured on the drive.

One of the problems with using a Mac computer is that many of the devices that Windows users can take advantage of are often not Mac compatible. This is especially true of products like flash drives that use encryption to protect data.

Kingston has announced that its DataTraveler Vault Privacy Edition is now compatible with Mac OSX 10.4x to 10.5x. The drive connects to the computer via a USB port and offers hardware-based data encryption.

Samsung just released three new 240Hz LED TVs, which are competing with LG’s 240Hz LH90 LED TVs. Known as the PAVV 8000, 7000 and 6000 series, these TVs are compatible with YouTube, DLNA, and feature a USB 2.0 port to display both photos and DviX videos from USB flash drives.

The Samsung PAVV 8000 series will be available in 46 and 55 inch and will be available in the US in May as well as Europe and Southeast Asia. Sadly, the specs for the PAVV 7000 and 6000 series are still unavailable. They must not be all that awesome.

Flash drives are great and all, but most are long and get in the way, whether in your laptop or wherever. They aren’t a good shape and size. Well, the EagleTec Nano from Brando is small. Tiny in fact. This tiny USB flash drive will cost you just $33 for 8GB and $22 for the 4GB.

It sure is tempting. The speed is 15Mb/s read, up to 6Mb/s write. It can fit right on your key chain, so it won’t get lost. The whole thing is about the size of a quarter.

This 2GB flash drive is just a few inches wide, but it’s full of intricate details, even lens markings and a viewscreen that we hope can actually light up. The lens is removable and has a USB jack inside. It’s awesome. It’s neat. Cool. Dare I say it? It’s adorable.

It comes with an extension cord to fit it into your USB port. Apparently it’s a promotional item from Canon, which is why you’ve never seen one. But you may be able to find one on eBay. You’ll pay dearly for it(there’s one up right now for $103).

Back in the early days of the computer if you needed to carry data files with you from one machine to the other you used floppy discs. The floppy gave way to the CD and DVD as a method for moving files form one computer to another and taking data with you on the road. As those methods became a paid for computer users, a new type of storage device emerged — the flash drive.

Today flash drives can be used for all sorts of things form backing up data from your computer to carrying files with you from desk to desk or office to office. The flash drive is growing in capacity, but with the majority of flash drives using USB they aren’t growing in performance much.

Just so you know, this is a piece of Samsung marketing material. It also happens to be pretty damn amazing and may make you judge your own computer unfit. A bunch of Samsung geeks strung 24 256GB SSD drives together in a RAID with the hopes of making the fast SSD drives even faster.

The system reaches transfer speeds of 2GBps. Here’s what that means in simple terms. All of Microsoft Office opens in .5 seconds, 53 programs from the test rig’s Start menu open in 18 seconds and the entire system defrags in about 3 seconds. In comic book terms, this is like if the Flash did a line of coke, drank a case of jolt cola, snorted pure sugar and for some reason his butt is was on fire. Yeah, its that fast!

I’ve said it before. We need more robot flash drives. It’s hard to find a cool robot flash drive. Some are too shiny, others, like the Ultraman are cool, but not robot enough.

This flash drive is all classic robot. The USB Robot comes in a small 1GB capacity, in green, black, and blue. Just yank his head off and plug him into your computer. When you transfer files, his little eyes light up!

Always losing your flash drives? Like body modifications a little too much? It’s all a question of how important your data is. Forget what you saw in the Star Wars prequels. This is how Anakin started to go bad.

It starts with a simple USB finger and before you know it your entire hand is a mass of ports, some inputs, some outputs. Then the standard changes and you have to sacrifice the other hand. Where does it end? Probably with a scrollwheel on your nads. This is purely a “visualization” project, but you know it will happen.
