This is probably one of the smaller USB flash drives you can buy. No activity leds are available, just plug-it at an empty USB port. The drive has also a a cap holder hole that should be paired with the included keychain; useful since the drive's size is so small and you could easily lose it.
Despite it's small size, the drive is shielded in a metal case offering durability and great looks.
