Using concrete for tech products is almost unheard of, so this Memory Weights USB Stick crafted from cement comes as a pleasant surprise. I really dig the way the capacity of the USB is branded into the block. Just to add a fun twist; the weight of the block is similar to the capacity in terms of grams…so simple and elegant, yet rugged!

What about one with 10 Terabyte? 😀
Good idea to rediscover cement,a lots of plastic objects could be converted in cemented, but this thing will broke my NetBook into two pieces
Just what I needed… a heavier backpack
256 g is heavy to you?? maybe you need to exercise a little bit more… 😉
Strictly speaking, it would be better to talk about Mass rather than Weight, if you are going to make it a design feature. Scales are only calibrated in grams for the sake of convenience here on Earth, but Weight is actually a force measured in Newtons (w = m.g). If one of these were taken up to the ISS, it would weigh nothing, bit it would still have the same mass.
So, how about 1TB = 1N Earth weight? 256GB => 0.25 N => approx 25.5 grammes mass. About 1/10 the mass.
the weight equivalent hinders the ability to increase storage capacity too much
Yeah… and what about a special ultra heavy weight supporting USB connectors?
What a waste of time to make the 3D models of these…
Am I the only one checking the scale? 128g weights only 115g …
Saw it, don’t care – it’s all virtual anyway, Blender and Photoshop. You don’t think the “designer” actually _made_ any of these, do you? That would mean getting his hands dirty.
Come on …
So, if he really “actually _made_ any of these”, ok, then I would perhaps accept a difference of 13g (man, what a tolerance)
BUT
Blender, Photoshop, [insert fancy stuff], and then the flaw with the scale … would be the work of a dilettante.
Anyway, I love the concept 🙂
How long before someone looses an eye at a LAN party when his buddy tosses it across the room to him?
Concrete is a good idea, but I am thinking that these need a keyring or necklace hole on it and likely a silicone cover to make it softer for portability.
how the hell would that make them loose an eye?
I think this is perfect for the office! Not only will everyone give your usb stick back, but also… you may kill the perpetrator of any theft if found!
actually, the 128g stick weighs 115 gramms. take a look at the scale!
Maybe it only weighs 128g when its full?
It’s a really good way to find a use for all that extra concrete they ordered that they will no longer have a use for once they finally get the memo telling them they BUILT TOO MANY CONCRETE BUILDINGS AND THEY ARE IN A REAL ESTATE BUBBLE!
Plus they can sell them on ebay!
I am not sure where you are getting your information, but great topic.
I must spend a while studying much more or understanding more.
Thank you for wonderful information I used to be looking
