Domino-Shaped Flash Drive Indicates Used Space
January 17th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under
A Brazilian design, called Marcos Breder, has designed a good-looking flash drive, domino-shaped. The flash drives represent halves of dominoes and can be inserted one in each other, but that’s not all. They have dots on them, that each represent a giga of space loaded on the drive. The drives are quite practical and also funny, but we don’t know anything yet of release date or pricing, unfortunately.

I really want one. I always liked domino’s and I have a weird obsession for memory sticks.

Isn’t there anybody else getting fed up up with concept gadgets that never get realized. A CGI picture might get you grades in design school but hardly but there’s a thing called reality out here…

Very cool!! I would want one, the new concept would be so useful! :) It looks really stylish too.

I’m with you on this one captlobo. The word “has designed” actually just means “has thought of” these days. A lot of pretty pictures and fairy tales, but not one thing about how feasible the design is. Even if they do come around to producing their designs, they end up overly expensive and delayed. Just look at Art. Lebedev.

I’ve always hated concept designs. They’re always impossible, impractical, or just plain stupid.
Now, having said that, a thumbdrive with an external indicator of memory might be pretty useful, but I’d prefer something more on the order of a text readout, like “2.35g/5.00g”.

Stupid….when they plug into each other, how does it plug into the computer? These new flash drive ideas are pretty pointless.

Uh, well you dont plug them in when they are together, you uh take them apart and put them into the pc. but you can put them together so , uh, maybe they dont get lost. just using my brain here, thats all.
