MIMOCO sent us over one of their new “Star Trek X MIMOBOT Series 1” USB drives for review. Being Spock fans, we were hoping to see our favorite pointy-eared science officer when we opened the package but, instead, were gleefully-greeted by the phaser-wielding Captain James T. Kirk, clad in his gold uniform. In terms of design, each of the new Star Trek X MIMOBOTs are well-drawn and have a stylized representation of the characters they represent. MIMOCO has long-been known for stylish, stylized USB drives and the Star Trek ones are no exception.
In terms of using the MIMOBOT USB drive, it performed very quickly and was ready to use about a second after I inserted it into the USB port. I absolutely hate it when I put a USB drive into my computer and it takes a long time to recognize and load. This was simply not an issue here. It recognizes and loads the drive so quickly, you should be ready to transfer files by time you pull your hand back to your mouse.
This USB drive also includes some cool little extra for fans of Star Trek, like wallpapers for various desktop and tablet resolutions, Star Trek icons, and even the awesome mimoDesk Star Trek program which, looking like an LCARS console from Star Trek: The Next Generation, includes a ton of digital comic books and videos (commercials, trailers, etc). The highlights of these mimoDesk extras for me were certainly the original series Star Trek comic books.
Overall, the MIMOCO Captain Kirk MIMOBOT USB drive is an excellent storage option with lightning-fast drive recognition. Additionally, the stylized and well-drawn representation of your favorite Star Trek characters as well as the included Star Trek extras should be enough to make this a no-brainer for Trekkies looking for a USB drive. The only real “con” I discovered in using this USB drive is that it does not support USB 3.0 transfer speeds and MIMOCO, at the time of this writing, does not sell a USB 3.0 version.
