Star Trek fans might be interested to know that a new range of USB flash drives disguised as Star Trek Discovery badges have launched via Kickstarter this week. Offering a chance to own an officially licensed Star Trek Discovery OTG flash drive at a limited time price. Constructed from metal and built to a scale of 1:1 the iconic Star Trek Insignia drives will be produced in a limited edition run of 10,000 units worldwide.
Early bird pledges are now available for the recently launched project from roughly $32 or £24 (depending on current exchange rates), offering a considerable discount of approximately 36% off the recommended retail price, while the Kickstarter crowd funding is under way.
“The Tiburn D5 Star Trek Discovery Flash Drives are all 1:1 replicas of the Star Trek Discovery Insignia Badges. Cast in sturdy zinc alloy, these drives each has a magnet inside so you can wear it like a real star trek badge, meanwhile it has a pin hole on the back so that you can wear it just like a necklace. Based on the USB 3.1 Gen 1 interface, the D5 Star Trek Discovery drives deliver read speeds of up to 120 MB/s and write speeds up to 55 MB/s. Weighing in at only 39g, the series are designed to be highly portable. With built-in USB-A and USB-C compatibility, they each allows you to transfer data between your PC and USB-C enabled smartphones/devices.”
