DIY Credit Card Flash Drive For Cheap!

With todays ever smaller flash drives I kept feeling I should have one in my wallet. There are a few out there like the Blue Flash, or Walletex, but their more spendy than regular flash drives, and I got to thinking… Those things would actually be kinda clunky when plugged into my laptop.

My data packing life changed today when I made my own credit card flash drive. Even if your not a photographer you’ll find good use for 2-4 gigs of usb data in your wallet everywhere you go. It’s not only cool, it’s cheap, and you can use just about any old (or stylish new) card to do it with.

Start with a very small USB drive. You can get the 2gb KingMax I used here on Amazon for under 10 bucks. There’s also a 4gig version under 20. These things are great! Their low cost, sturdy, and tiny.
