Kix Berlin's Concrete Solution for Flash Drives
While manufacturers are always trying to make laptops lighter, the Kix Berlin design studio is trying to make portable memory heavier. Their USBeton flash drive, which they've dubbed "a contemporary fossil," is made from concrete.
Assuming the insides last, archaeologists will dig these up in 10,000 years and view the measly 4GB devices as our "primitive tools."

That said, it looks pretty cool and has the added benefit of being hard to lose. I'd KNOW when this thing is missing from my pocket. I guess one could use a short USB extensions so one is not weighing down ports with what essentially is a rock.
Could be made from styrocrete or something to lighten the product.
It's a win/fail combo.
