Record-Setting USB Drives

The Magic Mushroom USB Key is the Most Expensive in the World

— October 9, 2013 — Luxury
For anyone looking to highly increase the value of their USB key collection, consider taking a look at the Magic Mushroom USB drive by Swiss jeweler La Maison Shawish.

The Magic Murshoom is an ultra-premium USB drive that is covered in 10 carats of precious stones. The USB key is available in pink ruby, red ruby and emerald customizations. This top-of-the-line emerald-coated casing is encrusted in red rubies and will cost you $32,000. The USB drive has 32 gigabytes of space -- so that's $1,000 per gigabyte. Considering most USB 32 GB flash drives cost around $25, you can assume the price tag is simply reflective of the casing itself.

Consider adding some royalty to your computer accessories with this 32 GB flash USB drive by La Maison Shawish.
