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 Pebbl

The 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!
