How cool is this?
This is a very cool and unique flash drive. It arrived in Phoenix, AZ in just 8 days! Coming from Latvia, I'm impressed how fast it arrived! It runs at USB 2 speeds and it stays lit at all times and dims a bit when written to or read from. The brass cap seems to have a magnet in it that holds it firmly in place, but also makes it easy to remove. It is a bit smaller than I imagined it would be. I'll post some pictures next to a pen and a tape measure so you can set your expectations more accurately then I did. It is packed very well, arriving in a small cardboard tube inside of a padded envelope. See pictures for more details.

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2022
Size: 16GBVerified Purchase
Did I need this? No. There are better deals to be had capacity/price wise, let's be honest. Is it as cool as it looks? Absolutely. It is really quite impressive. The build quality is superb, real metal, the cap fits snug, the light is neat, and it doesn't feel cheap (I attribute that to the comfortable heft). Sure, the glass might break if you drop it or something, but that is true for any glass in general. If you are after ambiance and swagger, this is a fun doodad. It does heat up a little after awhile, yet the little stand it comes with makes it a nice display piece when not in use. It really just comes down to price on this. I don't regret getting it, but I'll probably only be getting this one.

Looks great and really works. When not in use a cradle is supplied to rest the piece for protection from rolling off of the table. I use it more for a conversation piece and backup of some of my important PhotoShop files.

this is a trip down memory lane. With the 256Gb storage size, it's great to backup some of your most important file copies. It adds that nostalgic tube glow to the modern computers, either desktop or laptop. It's a great and fun little item to baffle the modern generation with (perhaps).

5.0 out of 5 stars I had high hopes
Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2019
Size: 64GBVerified Purchase
the piece looks pretty good just like the picture, however this is the sad part

it comes with a little wooden support, it was all broken I assume due to shipping
there seems to be something not properly assembles inside the bulb since I have to plug it just right on the USB port for the light to come on, and even when that happens windows wont detect the device plugged in so I assume there is an even bigger issue going on, now I am trying to return the item and apparently my return needs to be evaluated by the seller, which is not something you would expect when buying on amazon, and its really not about the money, I was really looking forward to this thing for the great look that is has, which it still does but its not functional at all, sad really

UPDATE

the seller reach out to me and will be sending a replacement, looks like the issue happened with the shipping, will post an update once the new piece gets here

UPDATE 2

the new unit came in today, seems to work flawlessly, and looks really nice, the seller was very kind in sending a replacement ASAP

5.0 out of 5 stars Love these !
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2017
Size: 64GBVerified Purchase
I bought two of these and just love them ! They came well packaged and a week earlier than the original date that I got (they come from over seas). Quality is excellent, and they work as expected. They are a little fat, so you can't put several side by side in every slot on most USB boards.. even the little boxes made by the same company.. but they are just cute as bugs... ! They are a bit pricey too for USB memory sticks, but they are really just fun, useful and nice to have. They come with a matching protective end cap.. a little wooden stand, and draw string bag. I use one to just light up a shelf where I have one of my USB hubs, gives enough light I can see where the port holes are. Makes a great gifts, even if you have some already ! If you just want them for fun and the shinny color lights, just get them in the smaller memory sizes and save a few bucks.

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2021
Size: 256GBVerified Purchase
It really has a wonderful glow -- the same brightness and orange color spectrum of the actual vacuum tube. The glow and color are perfect. As other reviewers have pointed out, this is not a good value if you are just looking at cost per gigabyte of a run of the mill thumb drive. But the craftsmanship and the beauty are what you are buying. It works well, looks great, and always brings a smile.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great collectable USB drive
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2019
Size: 32GBVerified Purchase
To be clear, I love this drive and bought it for the looks. 32 Gb USB 2.0 drive works as expected. Larger versions available but USB 3.0 would be preferable with larger sizes. Main draw is the nostalgic value for those who have used pentodes. Plugged in, it looks like a functioning tube and was clearly made from a real pentode. I just leave it plugged in for the look (like adding LEDs to your computer fans, etc.). Clearly over priced for a 32 Gb USB drive but that's NOT the reason to buy it... Great looking nostalgia!
