The blinking of a blue LED reveals when the drive is active, delivering performance of up to 8 MB/sec.

And uniquely in its category, the Micro Mini USB drive includes accessories like an illuminated USB extension cable, a key chain, a neck chain, and three brightly colored snap-on caps for easy customization.

Iomega Active Disk™ Software
Iomega’s Micro Mini USB 2.0 drives are a natural platform for Iomega® Active Disk™ software. Active Disk powered titles are portable software programs, and they launch automatically from an Iomega Micro Mini USB 2.0 drive when it is plugged into any compatible PC. Active Disk titles never need installation, don’t clutter the hard drive, and leave no trace on the host PC—even the user’s related work is stored automatically on the Micro Mini USB 2.0 drive (the Active Disk driver is a one-time install, and is present on computers with IomegaWare installed).
