Solar powered USB drive

By Andrew | February 22, 2008

There are both positive and negative points in this USB drive. Positive that it features a little screen on the face of the USB flash drive that makes it easy to show how much space is available in the flash drive, without plugging it into the computer. Another positive point is that the drive takes power from the sun. Yes, this one is a solar powered USB drive.
But the only negative is that you can charge it only when you are working while sitting in the sun, which usually doesn’t happens coz most of the time the USB drives are lying either in our bags or drawers. So a piece of advice that comes here says that if you want to take the benefits of this Drive, keep it near a place where it can eat sun required to get the power.
But no doubts it’s a promising design!
