Stackable USB Drive With Virtually Unlimited Memory

Stackable USB Drive With Virtually Unlimited Memory


It would seem like flash drives are old news by now. You put more and more memory into them and increase the price, and that’s about it, right?


Modular USB drive

That is not exactly how some people would like to see it. There is apparently far more ingenuity that can be pushed into a flash drive than just adding memory to it. Modular thinking has been around for quite some time, and it’s always been a great way to customize technology. The concept is far from fresh, but when applied to a flash drive, it ultimately becomes a whole new way of storing data. A USB flash drive usually comes in a predetermined size, which makes it quite limited. There are plenty of new designs being realized at the moment, and one of them is the stackable USB flash drive.





The idea comes from concept designer Hyunsoo Song from SADI and is called Amoeba Modular USB Flash Drive. Even though it’s not a new concept, I think it should be put into the spotlight again. The modular nature of this stackable USB flash drive is far more useful than it might appear. Imagine trying to store some of your data for mobile use onto a flash drive and then realizing the space on it isn’t enough. You pretty much have to find another flash drive and start all over again. With this new modular design from Hyunsoo, all those problems could be solved in a jiffy.






Simply snap on another stackable USB flash drive to the one already connected, and you will have doubled the space. You would literally be able to add on as much memory as you would like in order to save your data. It doesn’t matter in what order they are connected, the stackable USB flash drives themselves keep track of the stored files. This would definitely be the ultimate solution for any limited mobile data storage.





We here at TechnoCreT will keep a close eye on this to see if we can present you with the good news that this concept idea is actually being realized. It is an amazing concept that deserves to see the light of day.

IoT growth rate to accelerate after 2020

IoT growth rate to accelerate after 2020 The IoT market in India is currently growing at 41% and will continue to grow at the same rate till 2020, says WATConsult report. IoT refers to a technology that connects sensors and devices to the Internet, collects their data and automates processes and decision-making.   New Delhi:  Home automation is poised to become the next big thing in India with consumers increasingly opting for video door bells, voice-assisted technologies (like Alexa and Google Home), smart bulbs and surveillance systems. This growth comes on the back of increasing adoption of the internet of things (IoT) by Indian consumers owing to increasing internet penetration, rising smartphone usage and expanding social networks, said a report published by social media agency WATConsult, a part of Dentsu Aegis Network.

WebUSB API - Connect USB to Internet

WebUSB API - Connect USB to Internet Two Google engineers have developed a draft version of an API called WebUSB that might allow you to connect your USB devices to the web safely and securely, bypassing the necessity for native drivers. WebUSB – developed by Reilly Grant and Ken Rockot – has been introduced to the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Incubator Community Group (W3C WICG), is build to offer a universal platform that could be adopted by browser makers in future versions of their software. Connecting USB Devices to the Web WebUSB API  allows USB-connected devices, from keyboards, mice, 3D printers and hard drives to complex Internet of Things (IoTs) appliances, to be addressed by Web pages. The aim is to help hardware manufacturers have their USB devices work on any platform, including Web, without having any need to write native drivers or SDKs for a dedicated platform. Besides controlling the hardware, a Web page could also install firmware ...
