Is This Really the Time For Solid Gold Flash Drives?

Is This Really the Time For Solid Gold Flash Drives?

So maybe this was the only time in their busy schedule that Super Talent Technology could release this 8GB, 18-karat Solid Gold USB Drive, currently retailing for $600.

Or maybe they just figure that the kind of person who would buy a solid gold drive in the first place is unconcerned with this recession.

Sample dialogue: "What is this recession you speak of?! Get me my solid gold flash drive! I need to take some MP3s over to Buffy's!"

lol..i LOVE The conversation there. you know, some people will always want to have things in platinum or gold - so why not great a drive that allows it? the next thing we'll see is a diamond encrusted one- and if there's a person out there that will buy a $5million dollar wondrebra then there's something who will buy this.

Now they've gone too far. I love a creative looking flash drive, but this is a bit much and too costly.

I agree- a flash drive is a flash drive. Some of the most chic ones are the cheapest. 18K gold? What gives?

I don't get people who are so rich they buy this stuff. I get mansions all over the globe, great cars and what have you, but this is useless.

I don't really understand all the weird flash-drives.

i'm all for geek chic but during this economic turmoil it doesn't seem like a good time to be investing in a 600.00 flash drive :(
