Hi:

I am manufacturing and selling USB memory sticks/drives that are based on a moddified Microdrive. The cover of the Microdrive now is transparent and you can see how this very small hard disk works. So the product is an USB memory stick that has a micro hard disk . It is very cool. This is not a demonstration unit or a toy. It is suitable for everyday use. I am manufacturing 340 Mb, 1 GB and 4 GB models.

Please, visit this Web page where you can see and download VIDEOS, showing how this product works.

well you better come up with a price quick because as per rules, you need a price and no e-bay.
 
Oh! I did not know this rule!!!

Sorry for that.

340 Mb is $60
4 GB is $125

shipping include

No 1GB avalaible at the moment.
 
bump for something interesting but I'd be curious to how it holds up to wear and tear vs the regular usb drives
 
Be carefull since the metal casing is / was a electro magnetic shield. Without that, even a cordless phone active near by can begin to corrupt the data..

looks cool none the less
 
No problem with electromagenetic fields. We had no problems during the months we have been testing the units. Indeed, the OEM microdrives have only a plastic label in the other side, instead of a metal cover.

About wear and tears, I send you a plastic case to keep the Microdrive safe when you are not using it. I recommend to read the Manual of Instructions, that can be downloaded here:

Thanks a lot for your comments.
 
bump for a cool take on USB memory stick..

just a heads up, you might want to look into making something similar for the PSP..

the one that is out there is a 4Gb Compact Flash Drive (Datel) adapter to PSP setup.. you might be able to come up with something pretty cool..
 
H-street, Thanks for your suggestion. I had a look to this webpage,

http://www.lik-sang.com/news.php?artc=3707

where the Datel adapter for PSP is described. The transparent cover of the mod Microdrive is not on the side where the name of the maker is written on the Microdrive or CompactFlash card. It is the other side. Therefore, the transparent cover is hidden, in this case, for the Datel adapter circuit.

I think that the best way for enjoying this Mod is using the Transparent Microdrive with the supplied USB reader and USB cable. You can leave your USB memory stick on the table, close to your computer and you can see how it works.
