Diamond-studded 16GB Adamant flash drive goes for $5650

Pricey flash drives are a dime a dozen (so to speak), but just in case you haven't found one quite ugly enough to call your own, why not feast your eyes on the Adamant? The limited edition drive will be limited to 50 units worldwide and will feature 16GB of capacity, a trio of diamonds, a dash of yellow gold and a sleek black box that'll quickly get tossed moments after it arrives. Granted, you'll have to shell out $5,650 in order to even have that luxury, but you better act fast.

Does Paris even know how to use a flash stick?

[Harlo Posted Mar 13th 2008 9:55AM]

One night in her USB port perhaps?

No, she thinks its something you wave around at a club.

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 13th 2008 9:55AM]

expensive and ugly....now they have achieved everything....


buying that combination would be the height of pretension

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 13th 2008 10:09AM]

Don't confuse the height of stupidity with the height of pretension, you'll give pretense a bad name.

[2late2die Posted Mar 13th 2008 9:56AM]

Something this pricey, they could've at least make it look good - that thing is ugly.

[Nova Posted Mar 13th 2008 9:57AM]

The funny thing is that's really ugly.

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 13th 2008 10:24AM]

If this thing sells, I'm heading to the store for some fake diamonds and hot glue.

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 13th 2008 10:27AM]

Yeah, it's really smart to put objects that have been around for at least 2.5 billion years and stick them on an (ugly) object that's going to be obsolete in 1 year?

Wolverines bones are made of that material.

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 13th 2008 10:55AM]

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 13th 2008 11:47AM]

Will it still be illegal to download??

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 13th 2008 1:35PM]

That's so ridiculous, I think it just gave me diarrhea. Lemme check... yup, sure did.

[macha88 Posted Mar 13th 2008 1:42PM]

Now with USB 1.1!!!!

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 13th 2008 2:02PM]

Fugly

[Meekermoloko Posted Mar 13th 2008 2:14PM]

Do people still like Gold and Diamonds anymore? They are so 19th and 20th Century, respectively.

Don't they realize that fresh water will be the most sought after commodity in the near future?

Idiots.

I do not belive in geting a flash drive more expensive then the pcit plugs into

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 13th 2008 9:18PM]

This is what happens when there's no such thing as luxury tech. If you want an expensive car, you buy a Ferrari or Porsche. If you want an expensive flash drive, you buy the same one as Joe but with diamonds on it.

The Gucci-ization of storage - the ultimate sign of mainstream injection in the culture.
