Notebook, RAM and flash memory maker OCZ recently introduced its Zee USB 2.0 flash drive. OCZ, which makes solid state drive upgrade kits for notebook PCs, hasn't offered a simple USB thumb drive before. The drives are minimalist in their design, and OCZ is likewise being modest and isn't releasing their peformance specs, though does say the drives are capable of mainstream speeds.

The Zee drives are available in 2GB, 4GB, 8GB and 16GB sizes. All are covered by a two-year warranty, and have a protective cap for the metal USB connection. Despite the announcement, neither a price nor a release date has been announced.
