Greater than one weekTo 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 thats NOT the reason to buy it... Great looking nostalgia!

> 3 dayWorks fine both visually and as a fully functional flash drive, and only took 10 days shipping time to California. This is a great gift for audio enthusiasts who have or aspire to have tube-amps, or electronics geeks with vintage equipment, or just regular folks with a PC who like unusual stuff. I chose the orange flavor because it most closely resembles the appearance of actual tubes. The audiophile friend I gave one to really gets a kick out of it.

> 3 dayExcellent workmanship and quality. The tube does get a little warm after a while but not too hot to touch.

Greater than one weekWhile its basically a USB drive, it is so cool looking! I picked the orange-lit unit as it replicates best the glow of a true operating vacuum tube. It comes with a nice little wood stand - nice touch! I purchased it to use as a unique gift for a technically savvy nephew who appreciates different stuff.

> 3 dayIt 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.
