DT´s Flash Drive Blog

Updated: April 1
(see Flash Voyager GTR)

Not too long ago, 64GB flash drives were the leader of the pack in terms of USB capacity. Now that 128GB and even 256GB Flash Drives have arrived, the leader has become only third best. In terms of speeds and performance however, 64GB sticks may still hold the edge. So let us take a look at the various models and their specs.

Corleone speaking: “So you wanna act like a man and buy the Godfather flash drive?
Look, here’s some information you can’t refuse.”

The Godfather Flash Drives by Super Talent (@ ) or ( )

First of all, the Godfather series is manufactured by Super Talent. That company has been around for 20 years when after it was birthed by the Silicon Valley boom. They’re specialized in memory technology and all their flash drives pride themselves on certain standards. Godfather memory sticks make no exception and this is what they are:

- Compatibility with U SB 1.0 and 2.0.
- Hot plug & play.
- Keychain ring or hole.
- A data retention of more than 10 years .

Then we have the specifics which mark GF’s individuality.

- The designs of rubber or swivel, with Corleone’s hologram.
- The capacities of 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16GB.
- The sizes of 49.7 x 19.5 x 9.3 mm (rubber) and 40.0 x 14.4 x 5.2 mm (swivel)
- Only available in the US (limited edition).

What makes Godfather flash drives really special though is that they contain quotes and still images from the movie. Plus they come with an appropriate Godfather package case . Molto bene, si?

Case closed: Godfather Flash Drive Packaging

Ok. If you ask me, these memory sticks pretty smoothly revive the spirit of the Godfather movies . You can definitely tell where they draw their inspiration from and how that makes for a respectful tribute. Wouldn’t you say? Feel free to comment and share your experience with them.

p.s.: By the way, the swivel model is the same as Super Talent’s Pico D .

Wouldn’t you enjoy cookies more if it wasn’t for their crumbly attitude? I know I would. So let me introduce to you cookie flash drives. They act much smarter as they don’t require you to clean afterwards!

This Memory Stick takes the Biscuit (@ )

What they do need is a USB port – because that’s the way the cookie goes! And when it even runs, a red light indicator will let you know. What makes it real chipper though is that you can choose your memory stick filling between 1 and 8GB. Maybe one with green jelly?

No cookie-cutter gadget: Jelly Cookie Flash Drive (@ )
