Basic IT fundamental discussion and solutions
You think that USB memory stick can’t possibly get any smaller? Well, a Dutch company Deonet was able to invent the world’s smallest USB memory stick. It would be interesting to note that Deonet is also the company responsible for the creation of Golden USB memory stick enriched with diamonds, as well as the FSC-certified Eco Wood drive.
The world’s smallest usb stick measures 19.5 x 14.5 x 2.9 mm. The USB stick is somewhat thicker but a lot shorter than the Super Stick Mini, produced by Kingmax, which was previously considered to be the smallest.
It is called the Micro UDP chip (where UDP stands for the USB Disk In Package assembly process, which sees the controller, flash IC, substrate and passive components molded into a very small, single package), which is less than half the physical size of other USB memory solutions.
According to Deonet they will launch three types to the market. The world’s smallest USB Memory stick will come in 4GB, 8GB and 16GB variants.
The launch is expected to be this January at PSI Düsseldorf.
So far there has been no word on pricing.
