Design House Takes 'Rock Solid Storage' to the Next Level
A design house has redefined the meaning of "rock-solid" when it comes to durable flash drives. A creation by designer Shu-Chun Hsiao, a set of new flash drives are quite literally rock-solid. The flash-drive module is embedded into a cuboidal block of cement on which its capacity is engraved. It comes in capacities of 64 GB, 128 GB and 256 GB, and weighs in grams approximately the number of Gigabytes of data it holds (for example, the 64 GB model weighs around 64 g, and so on). Despite its capacity, size, shape and texture, it uses a USB 2.0 interface. But given that the design house emphasizes on form over function, we have no complaints. For now these cement drives are a design concept.

They missed a trick though, they should have matched the weight in grams with the capacity in GB. They are almost there with that 128GB version.
And yeah, these might be better off bundled with a USB extension cord.
these guys have the right idea :D
also concreate is a terible mediam to use... it only takes lots of static pressure, the slightest amount of tention and its gone.
"Have you ever been pissed off at someone but didn't have anything in plain site big enough to hurl at them that would cause significant damage? Have you thrown your flash drive at a colleague only to see them shrug off your tiny projectile with no harm done? Now, with our concrete, brick sized flash drive, a manslaughter charge is just a 'stones throw' away!"
