Take a look at the picture of the Mercedes SLS above, and take a guess what it could actually be; the real car, a miniature car, or a USB hard drive? Well, were certainly taken aback to know that this one from Mercedes is indeed a USB external hard-drive, and none of its exterior lets you know that, until you know exactly where to poke at. The detailing of the external chassis; from the paintjob to the shaping and texture, and the upholstery and components inside, this miniature Mercedes SLS AMG is indeed a collector’s item, and for those gadget geeks and car lovers, a perfect gift during the year end season.
What strikes about the Flash Rod Mercedes USB hard-drive is the detailing, and the intelligent designing used to create each device. None of the exterior components, except the cable point at the rear end, above the license plate; one does take this thing to be a master miniature alone. This cable point is what will actually connect the 2.5-inch 500 GB external USB drive to your computer, be it a Mac or PC, and perform its real function along with being an ultra-realistic piece of art. One could even try opening up bonnet or doors while using the hard-drive, without any one of its core functions getting affected in anyway.
The other distinct advantage of this device is the absence of anything bulky or messy, which are generally associated external devices like wires. With the single cable point at the back, one gets to connect it to the computer with perfect ease, and virtually zero-hassles. This is what one could call a ‘smart’ device perhaps! However, there is also some customization option in terms of colors for this drive. 3 options exist, from which to choose including pearl silver, black and red you have already seen. The price tag attached with it is $250 per piece. However, if there are some other miniatures you are looking for, do try out the 125th anniversary miniatures. If it is some crazy USB options you are looking at, do check out the Pretec Gold & Silver necklace drive, and theSteampunk USB Flash-drive. Storing your data never became this artistic!
