Super Talent Pico 16GB

INTRODUCTION

As many of us know, computers, and their related hardware, have been getting smaller and smaller over the years. Peripherals and add-ons are no exception, of course. Laptop mice have become a niche all their own, desired for their small size and portability. So too, have the USB thumb drives. Leading the charge when it comes to miniaturizing is Super Talent, with their Pico line of USB drives. The Pico has been around for some time now, but the 16GB generation is a relative newcomer.

The Pico-C (the one being tested here today) is the smallest of the small drives. It has no cap, no sliding cover, just an eyelet at the end. Worried about damaging it? Don't. This thing is rugged, water-resistant and even feels solid. This is not some flimsy little plastic drive, it's metal and it's durable. Good thing it's tiny, lack of extra material goes a long way to keep the weight down.
