$10,000 Mnemosyne Houses USB Drive in Aluminum Puzzle-Cube

The going rate on a 16GB USB flash drive is anywhere from $30 on the lower end up to around $80 on higher end models, and we've even spotted a pair of Kingston drives selling for just shy of $300 on Newegg. But a $10,000 USB drive? That's a first for us.

Not yet available for purchase, the exorbitantly priced USB drive comes from SolidAlliance Mnemosyne, and not only will it tax your wallet, but your mind as well. That's because the drive comes housed in an aluminum puzzle cube that must first be solved before you can get to those digital files stored inside.

"Our USB Flash Drive is similar to a puzzle where the memory is housed in the inner part of the body," Mnemosyne explains. "Without disassembling the puzzle, you will never be able to access the memory that is stored inside. And once you store your unforgettable memory there, you mush assemble the cube."

Sounds like a barrel of fun for $10K.

I think this was supposed to be announced last April - somewhere around the first of the month.  Actually, if you solve the puzzle, creatures from hell will appear out of nowhere and take you away!

...for one tiny usb cube? what if you just lose the usb cube thats in the middle? puzzle still works, and u are still without a usb drive. 10K is a ripoff for a USB drive. and i thought that 10$ was expensive for USB sticks.

 

maybe they should have worked it into a rubiks cube, instead. those things are sturdy bastards!
