File storage has come a long way from the days when you had to plug a cord into an external hard drive and lug it around with you. Now USB drives are so small you could mistake them for a paper clip. In fact that is the idea behind Verbatim’s Clip it USB drive. It is uber tiny, but it still holds 4 GB of storage in what amounts to a fun candy shell.

Now there’s a way to combine one’s knife and computer enthusiasms. Victorinox, the brand behind the iconic red and white Swiss Army Knives, also makers of the Secure Pro USB device, have announced the launch of several new electronic additions to their technology range. Showcased at CES, the company unveiled three new products: the Victorinox Slim, Victorinox Slim Duo and the Victorinox Secure SSD.

At a recent meeting with my colleagues, some of the guys were showing off USB drives that were barely larger than an iPhone SIM card. These things were tiny. My colleagues were impressed, I was not. Can something that size be safe from breaking? From being lost? From being eaten by my cat. Not likely, so give me the Verbatim Store ‘n’ Go USB Drive for Mac OS X any day.
