Domino Drive Design with a Focus on the Artistic

Flash drives that use capacity meters to give you a (fairly) accurate representation of available drive space aren't anything new - we reviewed the Lexar JumpDrive Mercury and its LCD meter back in May, 2006 - but that doesn't mean designers aren't trying to come up with new variations and make use of this technology in new and interesting ways. Today's example: a set of flash drives shaped like domino. Two drives fit together to make one domino and each domino dot represents 1/9th of the drive's capacity - fill that amount and the dot lights up.

The domino design isn't anything more than a mapped-out dream at this point, but looking at it, we think modern art more than anything else. We're imagining an exhibit laid out like a game of dominos, with pictures and videos of dominos taking up the capacity on each drive to give the different numbers of dots.
