Budget Gadgets sent this flash drive to review. This imitation Hamtaro flash drive is the cutest way to store data that I’ve ever seen. It’s face lights up when you plug it in to your computer, and depending on the model you choose, it stores 1, 2, 4, or 8 gigabytes of data. It also happens to be very well priced for a novelty flash drive. Prices start at $7.99 (shipping is free!) and the more storage you choose, the higher the price goes.

I wouldn’t know what Hamtaro was, except that a few years ago, my wife and I bought a Ham-Ham piggy bank just because it was so irresistibly cute. You’ll find a picture of our piggy bank next to our flash drive below.

I kind of expected this flash drive to be the kind where you pull the head off to plug it in, but instead, the USB plug is attached to the bottom of the drive with wires (like a tail!), and it tucks in to the back of the little hamster where it snaps in to place. This one piece design keeps you from losing part of your flash drive.
