USB charging cables and the adapter is getting up there.

  the hard drive portion feels more expected because there’s moving parts in there.
  
  with SSDs and USB sticks it’s more chanced because we can’t see the insides before buying.
  
  maybe it’s time for a clear/neon- plastic comeback but this time with usb sticks?
