Another day, another ridiculously tiny USB flash drive. This one comes to us from the folks at Imation, and while it’s a few milimeters shy of Super Talent’s supposed record-holder, the company’s Atom drive is still plenty easy to lose (despite the best efforts of the attached keychain). If you aren’t swayed away by that prospect, you can look for the drive to be available in capacities from 1GB to 8GB, with it boasting the usual Windows Ready Boost feature and some basic security measures — no word on pricing just yet though.

As if you didn’t have enough options when scouting a totally locked down flash drive, Imation is cranking out a revamped Pivot and an all new Pivot Plus to quell your paranoia. As for the former, it provides “software encryption software,” ReadyBoost compatibility and capacities up to 8GB, while the all new Pivot Plus ups the ante with 256-bit AES hardware encryption. And just in case you’re still worried, the drive also features “one password-protected partition that only allows storage of encrypted data and a tamper-resistant housing.” As for the refreshed Pivot, it’s slated to land later this quarter in the US for $29.99 to $199.99, while the ultra-secure Pivot Plus is available as we speak in 1/2/4/8GB sizes for $69.99 to $249.99.
