Star Wars Lightsabers in USB Flash Drive Form

by - source: Tom's Hardware US

The Force, powered by USB.

Novelty USB flash drives can be the perfect example of geeky utility. Aside from Transformers USB that actually transform, the next coolest thing could be USB Lightsabers that actually light up.

These official Lucasfilm licensed USB products come in both Darth Vader's red design or Luke Skywalker's green design and measure five inches long. Capacity-wise, they're not much at only 1GB, but the appeal of this product isn't related to storage – it's about having a glowing Lightsaber protruding from your USB port. Sadly, they don't make any noise.

ThinkGeek is now selling these for $20 each.

May the capacity be with you

Maybe bump up the capacity to something more common like 4gig or more and have it make the activation and deactivation sound sound when you plug it in and pull it out. I'd pay a little extra for that

I know... am sick of all these "novelty" storage devices cheeping out on the storage and then charging you a premium just because it lights up... Wooooo... Why does it feel like these where inspired by episodes 1-3... :P

Is that a lightsaber in your pocket or were you just looking at porn?

Ya I'm not going to pay for a little red or green penis for my computer.

Put in on a cable and make it a larger external drive that you can swing around with noises maybe...

i won't touch any novelty usb key thats less than 8gb. I myself use 16gb ones at least

at least it has a bonus...it gets warm after extended data transfer and is then well suited for its extra curricular activities

Use the force! ...and stop trying to keep alive those archaic 3 1/2" floppies.

Delightsaber is more like it. Sorry, I don't need to carry around a measly 1G flash drive that's nearly half a foot long.

I may have just woke someone up from laughing. =)

Though 1GB, that's about enough to hold a few text documents. =)

Thank you for clarifying that these are "Star Wars" Lightsabers.

For a minute there I may have confused them with the Lightsabers from Babylon 5 or Star Trek...

All you folks who want it to make a lightsaber noise are NUTS!!

I'd never get any work done :D

Also stop complaining about 1GB. Back in my day, we didn't have 1GB of storage. We had to chisel 1s and 0s onto ROCKS!

Damn, if they'd come in sizes of 4gb or more I would so buy one. Or 2. Yeah, I'd get 2. Then I'll have some lightsabers duels at work! Pew pew!

"Approximately 5 inches in length" from the provided web site.

A 5 inch USB drive? No thanks!

Who came up with the title? "Star Wars Lightsabers in USB Flash Drive Form", errr, REALLY? Didn't you mean "USB Flash Drives in Star Wars Lightsaber Form"? Hmph, I really hope it was an honest mistake. BS titles is more a 'Kevin Parrish' M.O. me thinks.
