The Apophis Flash Drive
In ancient Egyptian mythology, there is an evil demon that embodies pure darkness and chaos. It is named Apepi or, in Greek, Apophis. Now perhaps you’re wondering why a USB flash drive would be named after a demon god. Well, it’s not. This flash drive is actually named after the near-earth asteroid 99942 Apophis. With a width of 390 meters, this asteroid, which first manifested itself in December 2004, shows signs of colliding with Earth on April 13, 2036. Very Doomsday-ish, but there is no denying that it has an impact, literally and figuratively. As is the design of this unique USB flash drive.
Polish design company Zana Design came up with the cutting edge and unique design of the Apophis Flash Drive, which is targeted to users who are always on the lookout for remarkable designs and can actually afford it. Basically, you are looking at the melding of high-quality materials with high-end technology.
This flash drive has a storage capacity of 64GB and a reading speed of 190 mbps. We did mention something about high-technology, didn’t we? Well, that is because it also features USB 3.0.
However, its functionality places second only to its design, which is the main lure of this flash drive. Shaped like the blade of a knife, the Apophis Flash Drive has a high-purity diamond at its tip. It is encased in what is now considered to be the most luxurious wood in the world: African Black Wood which is 200 years old.
A very exclusive (and limited) version of the Apophis Flash Drive has it covered with 18-karat gold. On the other hand, its “regular” version is plated with 925 silver.
Take your pick between the silver and the gold version. You can buy the silver Apophis Flash Drive at $1,130.00, or the gold version at $1,990. This product comes with a lifetime warranty.
