Whether you like it or not, we’re here to show you a very unique design of a USB flash drive – it is shaped like a few Mahjong tiles stacked together. Mahjong is the national game in China and is a hot gambling game in various regions with Chinese around.
These MahjongDisk is a handcrafted USB flash drive that is modeled after three Mahjong tiles stacked together. They’re made of two materials that are usually found in classic Chinese furniture, which are Lan-Xue and Li-Shui.
The MahjongDisk carries a steep price tag starting at $390, depending on the choices of your storage capacity (8GB or 16GB) and the wood material – the one that is made of the Lan-Xue costs $100 more.
While making a purchase online for the MahjongDisk, you get to customize what you wanna engrave on the three tiles. Or you can choose the presets which come with the most popular choices – FaFaFa (“Extremely wealthy!”) and ZhongZhongZhong (“Always make a success or hit the bulleye”).
The MahjongDisk comes with onboard SLC module which gives you a pretty decent reading speed of 18MB/s and writing speed of 15MB/s. It’s advisable to keep the MahjongDisk away from water, so you’ll have to keep it inside a leather case to prevent it from getting wet.
