Everything USB
Everyday is Halloween with Jack Skellington USB Drive


Subculture fans will line up for a new USB flash drive featuring Halloween Town's fearless leader, Pumpkin King Jack Skellington. Famous from the movie The Nightmare before Christmas, this movie tie-in thumb drive is going straight to the top of our our favorites. The spooky effigy of Jack from the digital clay-mation cult favorite hides a USB connector and 4, 8 or 16GB flash drive. Made of impact resistant plastic, the Jack Skellington drive is effectively waterproof and shockproof. Reenact the movie and remove Jack's head, and jack him into your USB port for quick access to flash storage.

A-Data has conveniently included a few trial pieces of software which are woefully unrelated to Jack's dark image. A Marilyn Manson album or Rob Zombie MP3 would have been much more suitable for this fun flashback drive. These applications are free from A-Data's web site as well. The USB drives are available at favorite gadget provider Brando's online store for $30, $47 and $72 depending on the amount of storage you want.

Over 18 Drive Fun Way to Keep Track of Sensitive Files


As we amass more and more flash drives, it gets to be harder and harder to tell them apart. Fun drives like this, 18 and Over drive, helps us keep our files sorted. This fun 2GB drive makes the distinction that the content is adult oriented or not to be put in children's hands. No, this is not just a Pr0n drive, it can be for any sensitive content. Tax documents, controversial programs that might get you into trouble with system administrators or vacation photos that don't need to end up on the company file server. More and more invasive system monitoring by corporations requires serious control of your personal files so that they stay personal.

Our flash drives are sorted by abilities and then by function. Fast drives are application drives or bulk data drives like iso's and virtual disks. our sportier looking drives are for office documents, code libraries or reference materials. Then we have my special purpose drives from leather clad to bare circuit board on the outside. The insides vary from prank programs to forensics and password stealers. Plugging the wrong one in at the wrong time can be disastrous. Having unique cases and labels makes them easy to sort and keep track of. Check out some of our favorite stand-out flash drives from weeks past or pick up this one for about $35.
