For the Halo superfan who has everything, Boston personal data storage designer Mimoco has created a series of USB flash drives in the shape of Halo characters. You can choose either the Red Spartan, the Blue Spartan or the ever-popular Master Chief. The drives, available in capacities ranging from 2 GB to 16 GB, are FAT32 formatted and are loaded with cute and useful goodies, including screensavers, wallpapers, and avatars that you can use with your favorite instant messaging client.
We received a Red Spartan to check out for ourselves, and it’s as endearing as it is durable, with a strong plastic shell, a top that clicks closed instead of just sliding into place, and a handle in the shape of two little hands on the sides of the drive. Prices range from $16.95 to $54.95 for the Spartans, $34.95 to $79.95 for Master Chief (there seems to be no difference between the two, other than in available capacities, so popularity must be a factor in the pricing). Prices are fairly reasonable until you get to the higher capacities; a quick look on Pricewatch shows 16 GB drives available for as little as $24.99. But now that Xbox 360 owners can use non-proprietary flash drives as a storage medium, these babies will give you crazy nerd cred at your first Halo: Reach party. And non-Halo fans have not been forgotten; Mimoco also offers Hello Kitty and Star Wars collections, as well as original, non-licensed designs.

I’d want one if they weren’t terrible looking.
They’re adorable!
