> 3 dayMy brother is a musician that really appreciates vacuum tube audio and guitar equipment. What better way to send my recent recordings to him than installed on a USB stick that looks VERY MUCH like a vacuum tube! The LEDs light up when this is inserted in a live USB port, and while they dont look exactly like a real vacuum tube close up, they look very convincing from a short distance away. The interior of the tube is a real work of metal sculpture. I really like it.

> 3 dayIt was exactly as pictured, transfer speeds were as expected of USB 3.1. My USB ports have a dedicated power source, so the transfer speed may be faster stock USB ports. I took a risk and bought 2, very happy with the result. Just dont drop it, its real glass.

> 3 dayFor an old geek like me, having replaced tubes a few decades ago in our family TV, this is nifty. Couple of things: This is round, not flat, so if you have a group of stacked USB ports, this will use one and block the adjacent one(s). Also, this is shipped registered mail, so if your USPS office is incompetent like mine, you may have a challenge while they try to find the package. The packaging is well done and it made the trip across the pond in good shape. Came with a nice wooden cradle suitable for desk jewelry.

> 3 dayFantastic! Very Steampunk! A gift for an exceptional friend. Beautiful and it is a flashdrive. Comes in different colors, I bought the bright orange one. Virus slowed shipping, I give it to her in 2 days.

> 3 dayWorks great and my friend loved it. For those that might be concerned, the usb drive was completely empty and there was no malware on it.

Greater than one weekI purchased both the Pentode flash drive as well as the USB extension. Absolutely zero complaints! Both are beautifully made and were shipped to Louisville KY (almost 8000 miles) in just a couple of weeks. You will not be disappointed in the appearance and the quality of these products. I intend to purchase additional pieces for gifts, and so should you.

> 3 dayDid I need this? No. There are better deals to be had capacity/price wise, lets 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 doesnt 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 dont regret getting it, but Ill probably only be getting this one.

> 3 dayVery pleased with this unique flash drive. Looks just as pictured and seems very well constructed and durable so far. I appreciate the included stand as well. Very cool item. I was also contacted and asked if a delayed shipping time was okay due to current circumstances prior to the order going through, which I though was very considerate.
