btarunr · Sep 30, 2010

Super Talent Technology, a leading manufacturer of Flash storage solutions and DRAM memory modules, today announced the new CKB, KeyDrive, is now shipping. Designed to fit on to any keychain, the CKB drive will quickly become your favorite flash drive because it will always be with you. Available in two popular finishes (nickel and silver) and in a wide variety of capacities (2-32GB), we have a CKB to fit almost any budget.

"Making a drive that mimics an actual key and fits on your keychain is a natural fit. We took it to the next level by making the drive metal, rugged, lightweight and water-resistant." - Super Talent COO, CH Lee. The CKB is convenient, lightweight and durable. Designed with a metal enclosure and large keychain attachment point, the waterproof CKB can be attached to virtually anything. The CKB is currently available in 2 colors (Nickel and Silver) and is compatible with both USB 2.0 and 1.1.

But it's so tiny, you'll forget it's in your pants, and throw it into the washing machine, <insert other means to screw up>.

They should only call it unforgettable if there is a long-life data integrity guarantee.

When will there be actually a key that's a pendrive. Enough with those wannabe keys.

Well, maybe that's why they also mention it's water resistant

I've had/heard from my friends of pen drives lasting multiple washes in machines XD

Resistent but not water proof meaning the washing machine will eat these for breakfast( but probably more from just them getting winged about in there) Electronics tend ot be fine if they get soaked if there's no power going through them.

wont the weight of the keychain crack it

DaMulta · Sep 30, 2010

Looks like a soda bottle opener if you ask me....can it double as one???

actually my ocz pendrive survived about 10 goes through the washing machine and about 3 in the dryer before it finally gave in and stopped working

Works for me - the flash drive that I have on my key chain now easily dwarfs everything else. This seems to be smaller, and perhaps a little more durable. Not really concerned about sending it through the wash, as it would stay connected to my keys =)

I love the idea of this, rugged, water resistant, goes with your keys, mad props to Super Talent.

I only see one drawback which is if you have a shitload of keys you have trouble with actually using the drive/bending it/USB slots etc.

Mussels · Oct 1, 2010

its unforgettable, cause you never forget wasting the money on it?

key ones like this are a bad idea.

Wile E · Oct 1, 2010

Not USB 3.0? Not interested.

Static~Charge · Oct 1, 2010

What about the durability of those exposed contacts?

It will be a long time before you'll see USB 3.0 flash drives that small. USB 3.0 NAND controllers are still big (package size), so are the high(er) speed NAND chips. It's why most USB 3.0 flash drives look like what the first flash drives looked like, a decade+ ago, in terms of size.

That's fine. I'm just saying I'm not interested in USB 2.0 flash drives anymore, regardless of size.

Oh, and speaking of 3.0 controllers, I've noticed they tend to run a bit on the warm side.
