A Seemingly Transparent USB Memory Stick
Yeah they make them tiny nowadays. This product looks like a tiny USB with an superfluous block of perspex. Pretty though!
HAL memory drives in '2001' were clear like this - you can see them in the deactivation scene -
"…you might wonder how the heck they made this transparent. It isn't, it's a visual trick. Each unit is stainless steel, and the storage end of it has been polished to a mirror finish, giving the visual impression that it's transparent."
I don't think Rain read the copy on this closely enough...

Noted and corrected in the post! Thanks all for spotting it.
