Or here's one built into a functional lighter:

Btw, I'm looking for a new flash drive but I want something cool and unique, but not overly bulky. Suggestions?

You can make it yourself and it's fully functional with spaces from 1GB to 4GB

I meant two...jeeze(sometimes brain no work). Though there was really 9 I think. Be cool to just have the whole set for nostalgia purposes.

To the one who said "I think there's just 1", he had a link to another one. Anyway, that's cool how the broken USB wire is actually a flash-drive.

For $9 with free shipping, how can I refuse this 4GB poker chip?

It kinda makes me think back to an episode of cowboy bebop.

Remember those old guys? They made epic renders, I think one of them was called DaVinci, and all they used was MS Paint. Sometimes it's just skill....

Well, I just bought the 4GB casino poker chip from Newegg. I'll run some benchmarks next week after I get it.

I ran XBench disk test on my new usb, uhh token. Here are the read/write measurements (MB/s) from the test (test system is a C2D Mac 10.5)

sequential
7.52 / 2.89 [4k blocks]
20.4 / 3.54 [256k blocks]

random access
4.49 / 0.02 [4k blocks]
20.37 / 1.08 [256k blocks]

In comparison, my 4yr old OCZ Ralley 1GB has slightly faster read times and significantly faster write times (3-6x faster).

Here's a screen shot of the poker chip with the usb pulled out, set next to a beer cap for size comparison.
