Description
Most people at some point in there lives have walked along a beach, spotted a pebble & kept it as a memory for years to come. Every time you find that pebble you're instantly reminded of its origin, whether it be from your holiday, a day trip, or even just a lovely walk. We love the tactile nature of them, how they feel in our hands, & this is what made me think of the PebblThe Pebbl is difficult to classify as a storage device, but if I had to put it in a category it would be SSD(solid state drive).
This hand carved Pebbl features:
*A chassis made from recycled exotic timber
*Storage capacity larger than an average memory key
*A mini usb port on the front
*Activity LED on the front that flashes when processing data
*Opposed to a hard drive this has no moving parts and works silently
*Smaller chassis than a normal HDD or SSD
*A high gloss finish
*Features an internal shock absorbent design
*Widest dimensions are 2.5" x 1.5" x 0.75"
Unlike a hard drive it can be survive most falls but I wouldn't suggest trying to skim it on a lake as it currently isn't water proof. But once you've held one you'll never want to let it go anyway!
Although this is my first Pebbl, I will soon be making some more with even larger capacity's (up to 256GB & potentially more).
Just like in nature every Pebbl is unique, but unlike in nature, this one comes in a gift box!

The beauty of this is that you could absolutely hide it in plain sight!

This is so beautiful, why doesn't it have any comments!? I love the idea and the excellent finish. The colours and textures are gorgeous and I really like how you could have this on your desk with nobody knowing what it is... very clever and well made. Great work!

Umm...this makes me happy. Technology that appears to have come from nature...what could be better?

That... is awesome! A creative concept, very well executed - and if I may say very well photographed as well. This is a really beautifully made piece, and I love the fact that in such a small amount of space you can do so much. Just a great job!

This is amazing! If I had some cash to burn and the need for more storage space, I'd totally pick this up

This is beyond creative. I loved the way you formed the timber and went with the lines to form the pebble. Gorgeous job and it's simply amazing!
