Due to the increasing popularity of these handy
storage devices, ExtremeMHz will continue to bring you flash drive reviews.
We know there are hundreds of these storage drives out on the market so we
like to do the extra research to find some of the best and most unique drives
on the market. One such drive is the new Intelligent Stick 2.0 from PQI
Corporation. This remarkably tiny flash drive has been updated to
support the USB 2.0 interface. It brings new meaning to the phrase "Good
things come in small packages". Let's have a look...
Packaging

Included in the package is an Instruction manual, a mini CD that contains the
Win98 driver, application software and user manual, a clever credit card sized
carry case which holds up to two drives and some tiny labels that can be
attached to the back side of the drive itself.

The
connector is exposed but a nice istick holder is included. The back side
has a small area that can be used to paste one of the four tiny labels
included.

This
drive is very tiny. In fact, I was quite shocked when I first saw it in
person as it looks much bigger than it really is in pictures. To
demonstrate just how small it is, I put it next to a MMC (SD) Card as shown
above. It is only slightly thicker than a Multi- Media
Card and excluding the connector (head), it is exactly the same height.
The cleverly designed holder is about the size of a credit card and is about
as thick as two credit cards stacked on top of each other. It allows you
to store up to two drives. That means that you can carry up to 2 GB of data in
your wallet!
