Limited Edition Adamant USB Flash Drive – Solid Gold, Diamond Studded & Utterly Vile

Regular readers will be well aware that we have never particularly liked ‘blinged-out’ gadgets here on TFTS and, if anything, its devices such as this limited edition Adamant USB flash drive made from solid gold and featuring three diamonds that serve to underpin why we don’t see our perspective changing any time soon.

Apart from looking genuinely shoddy – a personal opinion, but one we cannot simply ignore – the Adamant USB Flash Drive may well boast a solid gold case and three embedded diamonds but if this is supposed to automatically render the device desirable someone somewhere obviously seems to be of the misguided opinion that the monetary value of an item is paramount with style coming in at a distant second.

Apparently created ‘for people with a safe taste, style sensibility and sense of extraordinary’ (sic) those that even vaguely consider forking out a breathtaking $5650 on such a truly hideous looking device can at least feel reassured that they obviously have more money than sense which, all said and done, is not a bad situation to find yourself in. (Incidentally, in offering just 16GB of storage space, this works out at a mere $353 per GB).

(Apologies for the poor image quality. Apparently this $5650 flash drive doesn’t merit spending a couple of minutes crafting half decent imagery if the product site is anything to go by).
