Well..this seems to be a nice concept…until you think about what happens after you put a big file on a bunch chained together…and they get separated…and you don’t remember the order…what happens then?

The usb is cute. okay and thts is the best usb ive ever seen.

I don’t care if they register as one whole device or as many seperate (altho seperate is the easiest to implement) I just want it noooow!!! I especially look forward to seeing how they work out how to make it bend sideways. The one way, where it is flat, is not such a big deal, just look at the rubber keyboards and apply here, but the other way, where it is wide, is going to take some figuring out. Heck I would even like a couple of the prototype that doesn’t work as a storage device, just to make a bracelet so I could flaunt some geek fashion around. =) Hope to see this in stores soon.

It seems a perfect idea. What this really means is that you don’t have to spend ages searching through your pockets or breifcase etc to find the right pen drive, just plug them all in at once and search through it in its entirety. What this needs really is a program to split a file at the point at which it exceeds the current drive, and then move the remainder to the next drive along. Then, at the other end, have another copy of the program to piece it back together, by ‘glueing’ the code along the split. Even better, the program could be carried on one of the flash drives, so you plug in, and get the files through the program. If you lose a flash drive, it’s your own fault. In response to the query (-ies?) about the rigid memory chip, why not just have a flexible section moving the connectors, and a solid lump with the chip inside in the middle. It wouldn’t lose much of the flexibility, the form would still allow bendage, and it would still look pretty damn cool. A customisable one would be good… then you could number them, and know whether you had them all (admittedly counting would do the job), but you would also know which was missing, so you could rant and rage at that particular section, rather than the entire thing.

I think this is a perfect solution, especially if you consider it like the old daisy-chaining technique. Just let each segment be considered a separate drive. if you have too big of file for a single segment, oh well, too bad.

I don’t see a market for this. If you stack three of them, and then use them separately, where is your data kept? Which one do you have to need to get your data? Also, I don’t want six flexible tubes coming off of my computer.

This would be great if you could plug a normal old USB stick into the back of one of these new ones to create a single larger drive. One of these in 256MB would go great with one of my old 128MB sticks for 384MB total. For some reason, a lot of files I need to move around are about 350MB in size…

Seeing as I’m gathering quite a collection of flash storage media I think this is the best idea ever. Also, as mentioned, bracelet possibilities are a great bonus.

Brilliant rethink of a familiar item. A beautiful and elegant design.

hmm, what happens when you have two 256mb sticks, connect them, and put a 300mb file on. the drives are taken apart… and? what now?

with the 300mb file, it could be classed as perfect data protection - just 1/6th of the file would be on a seperate drive, stopping people from using it. kinda cool. I like the design, although there are possible power issues. Would also be cool if they could be made into jewlery attachments? whach straps? The other issue is how are the circuit boards going to be made that flexable, never mind the chips - it is possible, but expensive. This design definately has potential.

It’s a great CONCEPT, a beatifull and intelligent DESIGN, now it’s time for the big enterprises to think how to actually implement this.

native raid0 or some similar solution for spanning the space?

also, most compression programs can split the resulting archive file into multiples and stick them back together again. done so across both floppies and cd’s

now, can we get these in packs of 10 on the cheap? so that one can give away one or more like one could with floppies, and can with cd’s and dvd’s?

I wonder how it works. Does it show each drive seperatly, or do they combine to make one. Plus there has to be a limit to how many you use. USB only provides what, 5v of power out.

确实很可爱,又好玩

Each link would have to act a USB hub (so that subsequent links would work) so your system would see each additional unit as a new drive - with drive letters limited to 26 letters you won’t have that many links

I think this is a perfect solution, trendy, beauty and flexy. Congrate and try create more design

Damn neat. Apart from the usability, the product also scores highly on form and aesthetics. Whoa…when do we see this in market?

Good afternoon. Is this already in production? i’m interested to try a few. thanks =)

you know those super tiny flash drives? make THOSE stick together and increse memory.

where can I buy it? in Russia

really nice.

with usb it won’t work (except you make every single one a usb stick + integrated usb hub - not really a good idea if you think of power management and all the electronics you have to put in it).

make it FIREWIRE and this thing will work smothly.

thats graet…and I want it NOW!!!
Where to by???

it’s good idea
simple design….so goood!

That of the memory infinite it´s…..big
I never think in connect a USB whit other USB.

Buth Where and how much for buy this tenchnology????
