It’s not often that I find myself transferring large chunks of data from one computer to another, but when I do, I like to have fun doing it. So I thought it would be fun to compile a list of great USB drives that will make your data transferring process a little bit cooler. Whether you’re looking to keep things natural and want a wooden cover, or want to go completely retro with an old cassette tape, there’s something here for everyone. Have a favorite that I missed? Please feel free to share yours below- I’m always in the market for something fun and unexpected that will make the tech aspect of my day-to-day life more interesting.

    My favorite has always been the lego block – we have had them in Oz for years – but let down of most of these drives is the size… they need to be 32gc or more to be serious.

    I love the picture of the owl one, but it seems to be the only one without a link. Either that, or I’m blind. I’d love to know details about it!

    Pretty amazing collection… I hadn’t seen but 1 or 2 previously. I think my favorite would be the clothespin — it would be easy to keep readily available almost anywhere. 8-)
