When you are at the computer store next time, take a moment to look through their bargain bin. Earlier this week, we were in Atlanta and we always hit the computer stores when we are in town – Microcenter to be specific. They always have a bargain bin for opened and returned stuff, display items or just plain torn up items.

While rummaging through, I found this oh so tiny USB drive by Verbatim called the Tuff n Tiny. It had 4GBs, was opened and had a 96¢; sticker on it. This thing normally sold for $20 or you can get it from New Egg for $17 – $18 still not bad but 96¢ was unbeatable. The sticker said it is a defect item but we were willing to sacrifice 96 to find out.

We won!

The drive is pretty cool. It is really, really small about the length of my thumb so I am a little afraid of losing it really. It does come with a password protection software if using Windows. But otherwise it works just like any other USB drive.

Verbatim claims it is tough and sturdy. We shall see.
