$10,000 Mnemosyne Houses USB Drive in Aluminum Puzzle-Cube


The going rate on a 16GB USB flash drive is anywhere from $30 on the lower end up to around $80 on higher end models, and we've even spotted a pair of Kingston drives selling for just shy of $300 on Newegg. But a $10,000 USB drive? That's a first for us.
Not yet available for purchase, the exorbitantly priced USB drive comes from SolidAlliance Mnemosyne, and not only will it tax your wallet, but your mind as well. That's because the drive comes housed in an aluminum puzzle cube that must first be solved before you can get to those digital files stored inside.
"Our USB Flash Drive is similar to a puzzle where the memory is housed in the inner part of the body," Mnemosyne explains. "Without disassembling the puzzle, you will never be able to access the memory that is stored inside. And once you store your unforgettable memory there, you mush assemble the cube."
Sounds like a barrel of fun for $10K.

Basically a USB thumb drive that you can't access data on unless you solve a puzzle first. Yeah, I know. Retarded.

Surely there are more elegant ways to secure data rather than having to solve a stupid puzzle...

HAHA.
What if you're not in the mood to figure out a puzzle cube, or spend 10k on a USB flash drive..?

I want to know how many of these will have sold within the next few years.

But it's $10,000.... Wouldn't it be easier to buy a $10 flash drive and a $10 lock box and throw the flash drive in it? Same thing...
