That's SOLID state data storage allright...
Wow... this looks heavy. I can see a lot of damaged ports in their future.
That said, it looks pretty cool and has the added benefit of being hard to lose. I'd KNOW when this thing is missing from my pocket. I guess one could use a short USB extensions so one is not weighing down ports with what essentially is a rock.
Could be made from styrocrete or something to lighten the product.
It's a win/fail combo.
