TrekStor's 8GB CS-D USB micro-drive

Seems like everyone and his monkey has an 8GB USB flash drive these days. Still, that hasn't stopped TrekStor from claiming that their 8GB CS-D USB stick is the "world's highest capacity stick storage device." Hey TrekStor, maybe you forgot about PQI's 16GB U510 or Kanguru's 64GB KFDM flash drive? Oh wait, your $180 drive is based on a shock-mounted, 1-inch hard drive! Well, give us a shout when you hit 12GB, m'kay?

Ok that's starting to look too much like a cigarette lighter.

I have used Trekstor few times and really suck. And these "highest capacity" claims make me laugh

I still don't understand why companies making these USB drives insist on designs with flimsy, removable caps. The slick cap design is the primary reason I bought a 2 GB Memina USB drive instead of something cheaper. I think the first company to make a consistent set of designs where the cap is integrated into the case somehow will have a real winner.
