Tokyo-based designer Mac Funamizu loves to come up with creative designs of USB drives that show you how much space is left in fun and unusual ways.
Here we present you with three of his designs. A syringe shaped drive is not for those who hate needles. Data is represented as the liquid inside the syringe, ouch.
Another one takes the shape of an air-pump, with data being visualized in the vertical cylinder. It's as if you pump your computer up with data!
Finally, for all of you Excel and statistics fans, he has a pie chart shaped drive that shows you the data in that oh-so-familiar graph.
