Disco USB Drive Lights Up Your Files

A concept USB drive could make an interesting glow stick.

Now this is a rather nifty way to store files: a USB stick with cool disco lights. Although the device won't throw specs of light across the room like a storm of rotating, glittering snow, the transparent USB stick does sport a variety of colors, depending on what's actually stored on the device.

When empty, the USB stick remains clear. However, stored images will spark a pink hue, and movies will cause the stick to glow green. Normal, non-multimedia files are symbolized by a blue hue. If the entire clear section is maxed out with all three lights, then the drive is actually full.

Right now the design is in its concept stage, with the prototype merely rendered in 3DS Max or some other modeling program. Still, the design is rather nifty, and would serve as great illumination while sitting behind the PC in the dark.

Let's just cross our fingers that the final product isn't still called "Funny USB Memory Stick." Actually, the GlowStick would be a better name.
