I don’t know why there’s a sudden increase in Star Wars gadgets — first the Backlit Star Wars Coffee Table and now Star Wars USB flash drives — but Star Wars fans and closet nerds alike are probably hovering on the edge of their seats as we speak. We’ve seen Star Wars themed flash drives and gadgets many times before but these Star Wars flash drives are just plain cool if not rather similar to many other Star Wars drives on the market. As is customary for popular memorabilia from big name movies, prices slightly higher than your typical flash drive with prices starting at $29.99 for the 4GB model going all the way up to $59.99 for the 16GB variants. The various figures whom include: Darth Vader, Boba Fett, Storm Trooper and Yoda stand around 3″ high.

Small, pocketable storage for a rather reasonable cost all wrapped in a popular themed housing spells success. Pricing aside, these little drives aren’t too far off “normal” flash drive pricing. Besides, even the high end $59.99 doesn’t seem too bad relative to Star Wars souvenir pricing as I’ve seen more than my fare share of Star Wars memorabilia that cost more than my car…many times over. Feel like splurging?

Do you have the need for speed? Do you need a flash drive that is small and offers up copious amounts of storage? If so, why not take a gander at Kanguru’s 64GB dual-interface flash drive. The nifty feature of this flash drive isn’t necessarily the size (as more 64GB flash drives are becoming commonplace) but the dual-interface design with a USB 2.0 and eSATA connection ensuring you have the fastest speeds wherever you decide to hook up. With USB 3.0 around the corner, sadly this drive will obsolete mighty quick. If you’re a Windows 2000+, Linux 2.4, or Mac OS 9+ user, you shouldn’t have a problem dealing with the Kanguru. While I am highly intrigued, a lack of price, release date, and a rather lack of knowledge on this particular brand means I’m a tad hesitant. Anyone care to chime in on previous Kanguru models?

If you are thinking to yourself the “race” to create the most absurd and “out there” USB drive is anywhere close to nearing an end, you my friend would be dead wrong.  Why would someone want to carry around a lifeless, unoriginal, and downright guaranteed to lose typical flash drive when you could instead be toting around the USB Rubber Chicken?  Said drive will surely set you apart from the crowd (literally) as you will have to take up two seats at the table to accommodate the massive sprawl of the Chicken’s sheer size.  If Chickens, flash drives, and a tad bit ‘o humor is your cup of tea, the USB Rubber Chicken might be right up your alley!
