Is there a way to transfer storage from one USB drive to another?

So I have 2, 8GB USB drives and I was wondering if I could have 16GB on 1 of them by putting more storage from the other one on to it. I'm not sure if it is possible. Any suggestions?

    Now I have really seen it all no you cannot take a smaller Drive and transfer storage space from one drive to the other the chip is smaller

    No point in that considering how cheap flash drives are nowadays. You can buy a 16GB Kingston or SanDisk drive from newegg for $6 (+ shipping) or get a 32GB SanDisk drive from Walmart for $10 (+ shipping) (better deal).

    NO your drive limit is as the label says *8GB* if you want a *16GB* drive you have to purchase one of that size

    not possible, they r designed to have 8GB, not a way to merge them into 16 GB as a one pendrive

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dougISKs2vQ yes it's possible in either a raid configuration or by using software designed to split large files (volume spanning) for transfer to disk. this kind of software used to be common in the days of 650mb cds.
