First of all, the name of the "BOMB-[USB Mass Storage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/extreme-fit-usb-c)" drive is absolute genius, connecting the 'mass storage' USB feature with a design shape of 'mass destruction' bomb. In contrast to the current trend of diminishing [tiny USB drives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandisk-crayola-usbc), the design is not very portable but provides ample space for alot of flash memory and mass storage. His other cleverly named Asterisco (spanish for asterisk) design is a high speed [4-way USB Hub](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharge-disk-pro) in the shape of, wait for it... Asterisk. The clean minimalistic design absolutely fits a USB hub, as it provides comfortable evenly spaced USB ports. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Creative USB Designs:** New designs and concepts for USB devices that bring fun and creativity to everyday storage solutions. - **Naming Innovation:** Innovative and clever names that connect the design and functionality of USB devices, adding a unique marketing aspect. - **Functional USB Hubs:** USB hubs with unique and creative designs that provide convenience and functionality to users. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Consumer Electronics:** Opportunity for consumer electronics companies to create and market unique USB designs that stand out in the market. - **Design and Branding:** Opportunity for designers and branding agencies to collaborate and create innovative and creative USB device concepts for businesses and individuals. - **Retail and E-commerce:** Opportunity for retail and e-commerce businesses to offer a wide range of creative USB designs that cater to different customer preferences and needs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spaceship-Inspired USB Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/docking-station-usb-hub.md) - [Object-Resembling USB Drives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandisk-1.md) - [Playful External Hard-Disk Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cargo-hard-drive.md) - [Monolithic Desktop Hard Drives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unidentifed-hard-disk-drive.md) - [Laptop-Fitted USB Stick Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-antoine.md) - [Bird-Shaped USB Flash Drives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinge.md) - [Folder-Shaped Hard Drive Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folder-external-hard-disk.md) - [Shipping Container Storage Drives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cargo-hard-drive1.md) - [Laptop-Attached Hub Drives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/case-x.md)
