Small, yes, also without the metal usb cover, more likely to get snapped. At least its a good performer (30 mb/s) compared to supertalents usual low price and performance

Then again, it wouldn’t surprise me if supertalent are just quoting the speed of the usb2.0 bus, as all their other drives are very slow, and very few top brands mention 30mb/s speed

mmm…thats small…kinda losable thing you have my young padawan, and at that speed it would make a prety good vitual memory for those OS that need it to run well…you know what i mean, but in my crappy country those thing come at prices more than 900% higher, so it might cost arround 315 pesos…1/5 of a monthly earnings of a common person…i’m still waiting for some kind of JESUS to come to argentina with USA stuff and sell them…PS2 at U$S129…thats completely insane compared to the $700 you can get if you bargain in an auction of stolen things. considering that the dolar is 3.17 pesos, there is half of the price made up by someone

Hi Neeraj

I am not sure exactly, you could try the Super Talent website, for details of stockists near you.

I’ve bought the Pico-C and it is cool looking, but the write speed is terrible. Most “transfer rates” show READ speeds or WRITE speeds using very large files (which never exceed 8.5 MB/Sec). Transferring hundreds of small files (< 100 kB) I achieve less then 0.1 MB/Sec. Aweful. I would NOT recommend this product unless you only transfer large files (eg. images) or you just want a gimmick.

Its cool looking except the stupid brand name written on it.

That is not the smallest pendrive. The smallest is Kingston DT Mini Slim. It is much slimmer than that.

Hi Gadgets crazy

Thanks for your comment, if you look at the date when this was published it was back in April 2008, the Kingston DT Mini Slim wasn’t announced until later that year.

Just like #12 says… the flash drive is not at all fast!
Trying out speeds in HD tune gives terrible results <3MB/sec.
I bought this drive to use it didicated for WIN7 READYBOOST but now I'll have to think about something else!
