LaCie already head the iamaKey USB flash drive and now the company introduces the PetiteKey. This new key-shaped USB 2.0 flash drive is designed by 5.5 Designers and is 30 percent smaller than its predecessor, making it easier to carry it with you on your key belt.

The PetiteKey is made from metal, it has a scratch-free connector and is water resistant to 100 meters. According to LaCie, the PetiteKey can survive an accidental wash in the washing machine, and extra security is provided in the form of 256-bit AES encryption and password security.

The design of the PetiteKey looks pretty cool, but the downside is that this is a USB 2.0 key which means you won't get fast data transfer speeds. The available capacities are also pretty limited, you can only get it with 8GB, 16GB and 32GB of flash memory. One year of access to Wuala is offered for free, this service enables you to backup your data to the cloud.

Pricing starts at 14.99EUR.
