OCZ 8GB Mega-Kart

You don't need any extra drivers for any of the current operating systems (Windows, Linux, MacOSX). Users can buy the kit at the retail price of US$160~200. The retail package is small and consists of the 8GB Mega-kart:

Of course, the thickness of the 8GB card is a little more than you standard credit card, but you won't have any problem fitting the 8GB Mega-Kart in your wallet:
