Hapori Tohu Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Earlier this week LEGO and PNY announced a partnership whereby PNY will sell USB Flash Drives in the shape of everyone's favorite building brick. The drives come in 8 and 16 GB sizes and in blue, red, and yellow colors. They look almost exactly like a 2x4 brick and are completely compatible with your brick collection. This looks like a great product for LEGO fans who need to take their files on the go - I just wish they offered larger sizes!

P~M Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I can see this being useful for Mindstorms creations. Very cool; I just wish they had larger-storage options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickPharaoh Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 This would be considered purist though, would it not? Quote "Welcome to Valhalla, Warrior."

Kaxix Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 They look ok. They may be a good idea for a present. Personally I prefer different designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChocolateFrogs Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) This would be an awesome accessory to have if/when I need to buy another flash drive.Unfortunately, I doubt these would compete monetarily with the same storage-sized normal flash drives, just because it's a special shape. I like PNY, but wouldn't spend more than $10 on a PNY or other flash drive of that capacity. -CF Edited August 17, 2014 by ChocolateFrogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Smoke Monster Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I wish these came in more colors other than the three listed. I would love to see one of these in green. But still, this is really cool and I might grab one if I ever need to get a USB drive. Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

More likely, though, there will be some poor kid who inadvertently uses their flash drive in their latest creation...

Liopleurodon Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 These are really cool. Since they're compatible with Lego, that makes them super-customizable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aanchir Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I like these! I have a LEGO Minifigure flash drive, but these seem a lot more practical because they are stackable, and you can use them to organize, color-code, label, or store your data. The minifigure flash drive is pretty much just a novelty by comparison. I'm not really in need of a new flash drive right now, but if I ever am I will definitely think of buying some of these.
