Thedesigner has come up with a new SSD that integrates Bluetoothtechnology for easy transfer between the system and the disk, and allthose electronics run without consuming a single watt of power from thegrid.

Inaddition to the use of solar panels to pull down the amount of energyconsumed by a conventional SSD drive, the Light’s Reminiscence is alsomade from recycled wood, which itself is a carbon neutral product.
