Verbatim has a new USB flash drive about the size of a dime. In fact, most of it is made up of the plug that goes into the USB socket, so the drive itself is extremely tiny. It’s so small that they expect you to leave it plugged in all the time so you don’t lose it. Verbatim calls it the “Store ‘n’ Stay” for that reason, but it can be unplugged of course.
