A super cool steampunk flash drive would make a great gift (hint, hint)
Flash drives aren't a new invention — almost everyone has one and most are plastic and standard looking. Boring.
Except for one: this steampunk themed flash drive looks like it's straight out of a science fiction novel and puts a vintage spin on data storing. (Thankfully we're past travel by steam locomotive, though.)
Crafted with a transparent radio vacuum tube, you can see the SanDisk memory drive that sits inside. When plugged in, it lights up orange — replicating the true glow of electron tubes used when electricity was first invented. Prepare for compliments from strangers.
Available in 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB, this little gadget is perfect for any and all data storing needs. Know someone who's a sci-fi fanatic? This would be a holiday gift right up their alley. Find them here.
