Seongmin Ha and Hanyoung Lee design the new Cargo hard drive that boasts a playful design that looks like as the namesake suggests. It has a portable sensibility and comes in low box structures to provide a new and refreshing way to look at portable data storage.
It is inspired by the look of shipping containers and embodies the same look of metal boxes in a much smaller form. The cube-shaped hard drives are able to stack together and moved around, resting on different platforms or on the ship. It has all the technical details of a ship and when it is all together, it looks like a dock for an external drive for a playful look.
