This ancient warrior-themed stick from Kingston Technology looks unlike anything we've ever stuck our spreadsheet files on.
We've seen fancy USB sticks before, including the tiny 3.1cm 8GB PICO-C stick, but this ancient warrior-themed stick from Kingston Technology is a bit different.
Kingston has gone for the "ancient archaeological" look, crafting this 4GB stick to look like something dug up from a dig, and featuring the ancient Terra Cotta warriors of China. According to the marketing material, the image on the drive is "a warrior discovered in one of four pits outside the tomb complex of China’s First Emperor, Qin Shi Huang (259–210 BC)."
USB stick connoisseurs can purchase the Kingston DataTraveler Terra Cotta USB Drive for $69 (AUS). It has a zinc casing, is Mac and Vista certified with ReadyBoost. At this stage there's only a 4GB option available, and it comes with a 5 year warranty.
According to Kingston, more than 7,000 terra cotta figures have been discovered, including warriors, chariots, horses, and musicians - so we wouldn't be surprised if we see other terra cotta USB sticks for the discerning USB stick collector.
