We have got news that flash memory card wizards SanDisk have started shipping one of their smallest ever USB flash drives. Called the SanDisk Cruzer Blade, the drive is really small, with proportions of 41.5 x 17.6 x 7.4 mm and is literally featherweight at 2.5 gms. But its size belies its storage capacity, which can vary from the bare bones (these days) 2 GB to a very handy 16 GB (hey, the iPad has that much, right? It looks darned neat -check the picture if you do not believe us - and in best USB drive tradition, it supports plug-and-play and is compatible with commonly used computers.
Seems pretty perfect for most travellers. Mind you, the only thing we would be terrified of is mislaying it. It is so darned small that it would be difficult to find and of course, it is so light that we guess we would not even be able to sense that it has slipped out of our pockets. That apart, the SanDisk Cruzer Blade seems an excellent option for those wishing to lug around digital data without burdening themselves too much.
