Boxes of flash drives

A man named Emir Rifat creatively rethought the idea of ​​such a seemingly completely non-creative device as a USB hub.

The Rifata drive is called Phillu and is a kind of matchbox - that is, it consists of several sections of matches. The total volume is 45 GB, but each “match” can act as an independent drive with a capacity of 5 GB. You want - carry everything together, you want - use the piece.

Obviously everyone had to deal with the problem when the flash drive is one, and I would like to divide it into several drives. Let's say in the pub for a beer you share your impressions of the new film and you are asked to rewrite it. Netbook is not at hand, but there is one flash drive and you can return it only to someone. Inconvenient. Phillu also allows you to write the same information on multiple drives at once. I rewrote it in advance and distributed it to everyone according to the “match”. Actually, cinema is probably not the most successful example, but, as it seems to me vivid.

Rewriting information from one “match” to “the whole” box is also easy for the Emir. You do not need a computer to do this - just bring the head of the drive to the side of the box (of course, a wireless module is built into every match). The designer himself suggests making matches with carbon tubes, but this, of course, is already fantastic.

In theory, Phillu will also reduce the cost of production, since in order to change the capacity of the drive it is not necessary to change the type of memory chip, only their number. Well, you can easily upgrade such a “box” flash drive.
