From the initial introduction of USB flash drives to present
day, this is one innovation that changed the way people carry data around.
Back in the days of floppy drives and floppy disks with a formatted capacity
of roughly 1.38MB, to the age of CD-RWs that was never able to take
precedence as the prominent portable storage medium, and ending up to present
day's popularity of USB flash drives -- how did it all come to be? Computer
enthusiasts first embraced this new type of products years ago as a symbol of
geekiness and a sort of unashamed pride. Bringing on 16MB, 32MB, and 64MB
drives, I still vaguely remember how 'advanced' I was with a stunningly large
512MB SanDisk Cruzer Micro. "It's so compact and convenient," as we used to
call it. Times have changed, and I still remember us praising the OCZ
Mini-Kart over two years ago on how unbelievably small it is. How two years
can mean so much in the technology world! This time, however, Super Talent
makes its attempt to redefine the market of unbelievably tiny USB flash
drives with the Pico-C -- but while they're at it, they are unwilling to lose
the capacity war with the drive available up to 8GB of storage, and claims to
be a winner in performance as well. Huge ambitions? We'll see how they live
up to that.
