In this review we would like to talk about a credit card USB flash drive that we received from Chinabuye (SKU:13097). As you probably noticed, this 8GB flash drive has a credit card style, which means dimensions very similar to a real credit card (see comparison in the images above), so you can put it in your wallet without worrying about the thickness. Also, it has a bank note drawed on it (7 types detailed just below). In other words, it is one of those cool USB flash drives to carry.
On the product's page, before adding it to cart, you can choose one of the 7 different notes:
- 100 dollar note (USD) - the one that we received
- 100 euro note (100EURO)
- 500 euro note (500EURO)
- 100 Chinese renminbi (RMB)
- 500 Indian rupee (INR)
- 500 Hong Kong dollar (HKD)
- 1000 Uruguayan pesos (UYU)
Check the video below to understand the credit card USB flash drive concept.
Build Quality
It is made of plastic and its rigidity is similar to a conventional credit card, so the care should be the same. The drawings on the notes are very similar to real notes, but you may find some little differences (insignificant).
Since it has a rotative mechanism (see video above), it will be easier to fit it in tight spaces closes to the USB port of your computer, including the back where there is a lot of cables.
