USBee flash drive

May 19, 2008
Though USB flash drives are much more practical and capacious than floppy disks, which we had used for a long time, they have some disadvantages too. One of the biggest problems with USB peripherals consists in the protruding nature of these devices. It's not about aesthetical point, but functional one. Have you ever encountered such a situation when your USB drive was accidentally broken causing damage not only to the item itself, but the computer's USB plug as well? Serbian designer Damjan Stankovic thinks that the flexibility in the design of USB drives represents a kind of solution for this problem.

His concept bears a great resemblance to a bee, explaining why it was called "USBee flash drive". Yet it's not the feature that speaks about its uniqueness. In fact this gadget features a lot of characteristics due to which it differs from its counterparts. The first one is all axes elastic neck that ensures squeezing into really tight spaces between the computer and any other object and, as a consequence, eliminates the possibility of being damaged. The second characteristic that should be mentioned is smart cooling system. The printed circuit board is located in an aluminum shell which is covered in yellow silicon/rubber. The bottom part of the USBee has cooling holes within the silicone so that the aluminum can dissipate through and keep device cool. Another distinctive feature of this concept is represented by a detachable protective cap that snaps onto the back end of the device when not in use.

For completeness I should add that this gadget seems to be very successful. However the fact that there is no information about the memory capacity of given device, can make consumers conclude that it's too poor to be mentioned. Besides that some may cast doubt on the necessity of using cooling system in an USB flash drive. Nevertheless this concept leaves quite a good impression.
