Modular USB Flash Drives

This is a really smart idea. Too bad it's only a concept for now. I hope they actually put this into production and it gets State-side. I know I would probably trade in all my flash drives for something like this.

The basic idea is that each USB flash drive can be plugged into another flash drive. This increases the size of the overall storage at the same time separating out your data into small drives. I'm not quite sure how the software is going to work out for something like this. Once you have multiple drives plugged into a computer, how do you know which one your saving to? Or is each working like a daisy-chained hub, where each drive keeps showing up as a new drive?

A lot of interesting questions come up but still interesting nonetheless. I would buy a few and try it out. What about you?
