The drive will be made of 14-carat gold and has five polished diamonds encrusted into the case. Makes you want to buy two of them, doesn™t it? Rob van Berkom, owner of White Lake said, "This product will open new markets for us. We have sold huge amounts of personalized USB stick with logos over the past year.
