Gadget Lust: LaCie itsaKey USB Flash Drive

Arguably the most remarkable thing about the LaCie itsaKey is that no one thought of it before. Put simply, it's a USB flash drive that's shaped like a key, meaning it's a perfect addition to your keyring.

But there's something even more surprising about this nifty bit of portable storage. Find out what after the jump.

The price. As regular Business Hacks readers know, I'm something of a cheapskate. I fully expected LaCie to charge a small fortune for a "designer" USB key like this one, but you can snag the 4GB drive for a very reasonable $14.99.

Unfortunately, it's out of stock at the moment. But the 8GB itsaKey is available for $23.99, also a reasonable price.

The drive is made of metal, so it should stay firmly affixed to your keyring. That solves a longstanding problem I've had with flash drives: Their plastic eyehooks routinely break right off. Consequently, I'm breaking out the credit card and ordering one of these right now.

What do you think? Is this the flash drive you've been waiting for? [via jkOnTheRun]
