Cheap but useful gadgets - 8gb Key Shaped USB Drive

This cost me £4.20. An equivalent would have cost roughly £15. This was obviously an eBay special from hong kong. It's almost certainly USB 2.0 as the speed was fine when transferring big files.

I like to keep a few utile on mine such as xubuntu live and a disk wiper which will completely zero the hard drive and completely eradicate any sign of secure information or dodgy photos you may have on there. That is a must if you're selling a PC. You don't want a dodgy criminal stealing your identity.

Cheap gadget on order - 8gb slim key USB/Flash drive

Yet another bargain from Hong Kong and eBay. £4.37 for an 8gb flash drive.

I don't really have a need for an 8gb pen drive but at this price I couldn't say no. It will probably come in handy in work occasionally as the ones work buy in are bulky and don't fit into a lot of USB slots. This slimline one should fit in most.

I've ordered myself the gold one above and my two brothers a silver one each which I'll hopefully get engraved and give them as gifts for being ushers at my wedding in June.
