> 24 hourFor 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.

> 24 hourWhen I was growing up, vacuum tubes were the norm and they had to be replaced every so often. When your TV wasnt working right, you could take out the tubes and take them to almost any store to get them tested and replaced. I was always fascinated by vacuum tubes. As a flash drive, this works exactly as any flash drive works, but it looks beautiful to me. People younger than 30, wont appreciate it, but it reminds me of simpler times.

> 24 hourTo 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!

> 24 hourVery 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.
