Lenovo reveals explosive SSD that you won't want to bring on a flight

Lenovo grenade external SSD.

Lenovo has a new SSD on the way that looks like a real blast. The drive exploded onto the scene through a post on Lenovo's Chinese website. Inspired by the war movie "Operation Hadal," the SSD looks like a hand grenade from the film. Overall, Lenovo did a bang-up job designing the SSD, assuming you plan to use it in your home. I'd take some precautions if you plan to carry the drive around or take it on a flight.

Our colleagues at Tom's Hardware highlighted the risk of trying to take the grenade-inspired SSD on a plane. Gadgets shaped like weapons or ammunition have a history of being stopped by security, which is understandable. Considering I've had airport security stop me for an inspection when I had an action figure in my suitcase, I'd expect an SSD designed to look like a grenade to slow down security lines.
