Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of LaCie iamaKey 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive 130870Customer Review: LaCie's newest USB flash drive disguises itself as a key Summary: 5 Stars
In what may be the slickest design for a USB thumb drive yet, LaCie's iamaKey brings 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB of storage to a drive no thicker than your house key. Measuring just over two inches in length, this little guy features USB 2.0 transfer speeds, PC and Mac compatibility, and the ability to blend right in with the other keys on your key ring.
The first thing you notice when you pick up the iamaKey is the build quality. The device feels rock solid. Its simple construction is also quite beautiful. No plastic, no blinking LED's, just a thin metal casing adorned with a lightly imprinted company logo. The connector end is about half the size of a standard USB cable. These new thin connectors do away with the metal casing surrounding the USB contacts. It is best illustrated by the profile photo I posted in the images section. As far as performance goes, I was able to transfer 1GB of files from a LaCie 1TB external hard drive in about three minutes. This time was about one minute faster than it took to transfer the same files to the old SanDisk drive it was replacing. Another great thing about this drive is how small the connector end is. I was able to plug it into my MacBook Pro along side all the other USB cables. This is something I could not do with my previous USB drive because it was wider than a normal USB cable. With savings of time and space, what more can you ask for?
If you are looking for a stylish device to replace your old, boring USB flash drive (or a great stocking stuffer for the upcoming holiday season), look no further. At a price that will not break the bank, this smart little device is one of the best USB drives I have had the pleasure of reviewing.
Description of LaCie iamaKey 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive 130870With the new LaCie iamaKey, inventive storage meets data protection. The key-shaped design is functional and memorable, and the protection that the LaCie iamaKey offers makes it extremely reliable. Best of all, you can fit an enormous amount of data in a small flash drive. With its eye-catching design, the iamaKey certainly stands out, but its connector (Gold SIP) is both water- and scratch-resistant, making it one of the most durable and thinnest USB keys on the market. Protective edges on the connectors ensure that you will always insert the LaCie iamaKey properly, keeping it usable and safe. With the universal Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interface, iamaKey can be used with both PC and Macs. Hi-Speed USB 2.0 not only offers universal compatibility and cross-platform convenience, but features a hot-pluggable connection and high-speed transfer rates, and is Windows ReadyBoost compatible. Best of all, the iamaKey is backward-compatible with USB 1.1, so you can use it on any computer. A product of the 5.5 Designers firm, the LaCie iamaKey fits in your pocket, and on your keychain, letting you take your data with you wherever you go. Another new collectible product produced in conjunction with 5.5 Designers, the iamaKey is a usable, tough USB flash drive, but with a well-developed sense of fun. Minimum System Requirements: Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista, Mac OS X v10.3.5 or higher, Linux-based system. Box Contents: LaCie iamakey and cap.
