LaCie IamaKey 4 GB

Find the best price

USB keys are so handy that lots of us can't live without them these days.  Today, we're testing three that are small enough to fit on a keyring and offer 4 GB of storage for your files.

French manufacturer LaCie is expanding its range with the CooKey and IamaKey, both of which can hold 4 GB but also another 4 GB of free online storage during for two years.  Both are designed to look like regular keys and slot easily onto your existing keyring.

Kingston, on the other hand, has decided to make the smallest possible device, with a key measuring just 42.94 x 21.33 x 16.25 mm.  The USB connector slides back inside the case, meaning there's no cover to lose.
