The ADATA SE770G provides portable, high-speed external storage, but with a rather surprising and colourful twist…

Once you attach the SE770G to a USB port, using either the USB-A or USB-C cables, the rather plain black side immediately generates a spectacular light show. The central part of the top is backlit with RGB LEDs through a stencil of hexagon and diamond tessellation, and colour cycles through a rainbow of rich colours. Unfortunately, though, you can’t control the colours nor the speed of cycling.
