Are you looking to buy one of the smallest memory sticks in the world? The Pico is probably the tiniest there is after the EagleTec Nano Drive , but with a smoother design.

Pico Flash Drive by Super Talent (@ ) or ( )

First of all, the Pico is manufactured by Super Talent. That company has been around for 20 years 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. Pico memory sticks make no exception and this is what they are:

- Compatibility with U SB 1.0 and 2.0.
- LED indicator for power and activity.
- Hot plug & play.
- Keychain ring or hole.
- A data retention of more than 10 years .
- Lifetime warranty.

Then we have the specifics which mark Pico’s individuality:

- The different designs from A to E.
- The plating editions of chrome, nickel and gold (24K).
- The capacity range of 1 – 32GB.
- The transfer rate of up to 30MB/sec (200x).
- The water and shock resistance.

So let us take a look at the various models, shall we?

What makes Pico flash drives really special is the super-light weight of less than 6g and the ultra-slim miniature size of 31.3mm x 12.4mm x 3.4mm (approx.). That’s a little taller than a quarter or your thumb.

Surely small but powerful but not quite the peak of efficiency. That’s reserved for the Pico Minis!
