As recent as 2024, long-time remote creative and art director Billy Mangino found himself working in cafe after cafe, struggling with the available technology for portable hard drive use. Getting up from a table to move to another area was a dangerous balancing act, carrying a laptop with a dangling hard drive on a long looping cable while connected to an important working file created such anxiety and an idea was born.

When he returned home one day, he spent our scouring the internet for the most obvious solution and... nothing. The closest thing that came up was a complex set of cabled and adapters combined into a convoluted solution almost as complicated as the problem itself.
