Memory Infinite chains up your thumb drives
Sometimes the most simple ideas and designs turn out to be the best ones. Case in point: these Memory Infinite USB thumb drives. By sticking a female connector on one end and a male connector on the other, designer Vicky Wei has created an ingenious way to create expandable, portable storage. Need to add a gig or two to your thumb drive? Just connect another one. The design allows for infinite expansion in theory, but something tells me that no one would want to carry around 20 of these things chained together.
Unfortunately this is merely a concept design, but an idea this good can't stay on the drawing board forever. Let's make it happen, manufacturers.

Technically, you can only chain up to 127 USB devices together, provided you have enough power. But doubt you would do that with these. Cool idea though.
