USB 3.0 devices are just now showing up for mass consumption and Super Talent is leading the charge, having just introduced the first USB 3.0 flash drive, which promises transfer rates of up to 320MB/sec.

If you have a USB 3.0 socket, you’ll get speeds up to 200MB/sec. If you use it in a USB 2.0 connector it will slow to USB 2.0 speeds of course. No word on a price or release date, but expect it to ship soon in 32GB, 64GB and 128GB capacities.

Many of us would love to own a Porsche, but not all of us can afford one. The next best thing may be this Porsche flash drive. At least it’s something to flash around so you can pretend you own one.

The drive offers 2GB of storage, which should be plenty of space for Porsche pictures and other important data. Of course it features the brand logo embedded on it. It will cost you $49 and leave you feeling completely unsatisfied because you are still no closer to the actual car.

Seems like we have more data than a Borg ship these days, so one Star Trek flash drive is not nearly enough. So you need this Vulcan Live Long and Prosper 2GB flash drive as well.

You do want your files to Live Long and Prosper don’t you? The IMM Vulcan USB 2GB Flash Drive retails for $35.99. You must have one. Because the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Or the one…And a bunch of other crap that Spock said.

When it comes to computers, flash drives and other gadgets and technology, we typically want the fastest gear we can get our hands on. Today Pretec announced what it claims to be the world’s fastest USB flash drive. The drive has read speed of 40MB/s and write speed of 30MB/s.

The theoretical max speed for USB 2.0 is 60MB/s. The drive is available in 8GB to 128GB making it the fastest and largest capacity drive in the world if you get the 128GB version. Inside the drive is MLC NAND flash storage to keep pricing down.

Star Trek merchandising is only surpassed by Star Wars merchandising. Well, here’s the latest Merchandising Trek. The new film is being released on individually numbered 4GB Starfleet insignia USB drives. Yes, I too just heard ten million geeks sigh.

The drive is loaded with DRM, but you can run it on 5 registered devices and burn it to DVD, so that’s not too bad. It will cost you $29. Not sure what that amounts to in Starfleet credits, but it seems like an okay deal.

We’ve seen a Ninja weapon in USB drive form, so why not an Uzi. Of course the drive is in the clip. Where else are you going to load and reload data from?

This bad boy comes from The Get Busy Committee, a rap group who stuck their upcoming album “Uzi Does It” on uzi-shaped flash drives. Pretty clever marketing. I’ve never heard of them and it has me talking about them. This kind of music marketing gives a new spin to the term “Number one with a bullet”.

Kingston announced today that it was increasing the speed that its DataTraveler 410 flash drive offers. The drive has been upgraded to include up to 32GB of storage and with faster read and write speeds. The drive has read and write speeds of up to 20MB/sec.

That is good performance for a flash drive, assuming it actually hits those speeds in the real world. The faster read and write speeds make the drive more suited to use as a backup device and for moving large files. The drive measures 2.58″ x 0.71″ x 0.41″.

We love Steampunk around here. We’ve certainly featured our share of steampunk gadgets. And this USB drive is another pretty nice example of the art form, but it’s insanely priced at $3000. I would pay maybe $100 for this flash drive. Maybe $300 if I had some disposable money.

It has some great detail work and looks pretty awesome, so it’s a shame that it’s priced so high that no one will own it. Could be a typo, but somehow I doubt it. Now the Steampunk phone from Russia. That I could pay handsomely for.

Transcend has a new Anti-Shock USB Flash Drive in the JetFlash V70. It sports a durable and eco-friendly rubber casing that allows it to survive most shocks, splashes and dust. In fact the JetFlash V70 meets U.S. military drop-test standards (MIL-STD-810F 516.5—Transit Drop), making it one of the toughest in its class.

Another great feature is the tethered cap holder that prevents you from losing it. It comes in 4GB, 8GB and 16GB capacities and in purple, orange and red colors.

This one is for geeks who find themselves in the bath tub with no toys to play with. This Submarine won’t hold nuclear missiles and it won’t propel itself underwater, but the waterproof submarine- K-95 USB flash drive is waterproof like the real thing and will hold 1GB or 2GB of storage.

You could pretend that the data inside is sensitive and that it is being chased by another sub who wants to steal your secrets. You can choose from green, white, red and black colors. Bath time just became more fun.

If you like small cars that can really zip around and you absolutely need one in your USB port, this one is for you. Green-House has created a new USB flash drive that takes the form of a 1959 mini cooper.

It’s available in two different styles and features rotating wheels and headlights that actually work when the flash drives are plugged in. Inside you’ll have 4GB of storage. Now for the bad news. They will cost you about $102. Each. For that price they should move around on their own and be rc.

This Steampunk USB Flash Drive looks a little more authentic than some others. This one was created by a Russian modder, using some cogs, screws and a brass pipe.

You can easily picture this one attached to a victorian laptop, had they had such things. You can load your plans for all of your Steampunk creations on this drive and keep them safe in style. If you think you have the skill and want to make your own flash drive with a similar look, full instructions are available at English Russia.

Mimobot USB flash drives are nothing new, but one of the most enduring characters, besides Star Wars, is Master Chief from Halo. This Master Chief version comes in 3 models, featuring “artwork, excerpts from the upcoming Halo novel, and a special episode of Halo in-game show “This Spartan Life.””

This USB drive concept is a throwback to the days of mustache twirling villains and bombs with crazy long fuses that usually blew up in your hands. It’s from designer Joel Escalona who probably likes to tie helpless women to railroad tracks while laughing maniacally.

Someone manufacture this thing already, so Joel doesn’t end up wearing black and white stripes and working on the chain gang. Sure it looks deadly(In a comical way) in black, but in red,yellow and white it just looks silly. Still, Joel thinks it’s “da bomb”, so what do ya say?

On your typical flash drive, you can always add new folders inside the drive to segregate your data. For some users that really want to keep work and home separate folders may not be good enough.

For this type of users the new Split Stick may be perfect .The device is a double-sided flash drive that is more like two drives grafted on to the end of each other. The drive has one USB connector and a switch that changes between one 2GB flash device or the other.
