Most USB drives are enclosed in a boring plastic (or rubber) case and that’s pretty much up, but that concept USB drive has a nice silver finish, and plus sports a small display at the end of the device, showing you useful info, such as the drive’s capacity, percentage used and even remaining space. You can customize the info displayed on the device via a menu when the device is turned on.

You see an awesome looking Alien figurine, and even better, it has a USB cable attached to it, which can only mean that it’s a USB storage drive, or a USB hub, right? Apparently not. While an Alien figurine is certainly awesome, all that little Alien does is stick its illuminated tongue out at you. It might scare your 5 year old younger brother, but that’ll probably be about it.
