LaCie MosKeyto Packs Up to 16GB in 10-Gram USB 2.0 Key
$28 or €30 for 8GB
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on September 10, 2010 at 3:04 pmLaCie spawns new USB keys – the LaCie MosKeyto, an ultra–small flash drive that’s anything but pesky. Joining LaCie’s line–up of USB keys, MosKeyto ups the ante for power, portability and ease of use.
LaCie MosKeyto measures less than 20mm and weighs 10 grams, making it one of the smallest USB keys on the market. Offering capacities up to 16GB, you’ll be amazed at how many bytes you can get from such a tiny MosKeyto.
The stealthy MosKeyto becomes nearly invisible when plugged into your computer, and can even travel alongside it in a protective sleeve or briefcase – just plug it, and forget it. Because it lies flush against your device, there is no risk of damage to the port, computer or key if the drive is knocked or bumped. Additionally, if it’s in your laptop, you won’t lose it.
Outfitted in sleek black plastic, the MosKeyto is also equipped with a durable nylon strap to attach to an accessible key ring and a cap to protect its USB connector – so you will never have to worry that its tiny form factor will disappear in the depths of your backpack or briefcase.
"While the MosKeyto has resemblance to a bug, with its small size and big bytes, this USB key is far from pesky," said Alexis Kobassian, Accessories Product Manager, LaCie. "It provides high capacities in a low–profile connector, allowing you to insert it into your notebook and forget it. And with its low cost/gigabyte price, you can forget about that, too."
Additionally, LaCie has integrated an extra 4GB secure online storage from Wuala into the MosKeyto, making storage and sharing more convenient.
LaCie Moskeyto offers instant connectivity via USB 2.0 to Windows, Mac and Linux platforms.
