A Penny for Your Thoughts?

Actually, this 8 GB drive is closer to the size of a nickle.

There exist smaller micro-drives, but the above pictured drive is said to be more reliable and less failure-prone than the micros. Solid state flash memory is driving the development of ever smaller spinning drives. The mechanical discs have to be priced a lot better than the solid state memories of comparable size, if they have a chance to survive in the ultra-competitive marketplace.
