‘CARGO’ by industrial designer Hanyoung Lee is essentially shipping container-shaped hard drives that can be pieced together to form a personal server. It is capable of connecting data from various platforms into a single storage space, or each individual container can be moved when deemed necessary.
The prototype you see here was entirely 3D-printed and then hand painted. If a functional prototype were to be made, we imagine the shipping containers would have some type of USB-C or other port so they can all be linked together, or just Wi-Fi connectivity so they are able to communicate with the cloud. Unfortunately, there’s no word yet on when we can expect a working version.

With the advent of various electronic devices, the platforms people use have diversified. However, linking these various platforms is not easy. It is inconvenient to move and store data between products that are not interoperable every time, said the designer.
