    Might give it a miss

    • SirFlibbled on 17/02/2012 - 13:31

      I've had one before and it's fine for what I need it to do. Does it save data? Yes Does it break suddenly? No. Is it super duper fast? No, but I can live with it taking a couple more minutes as it is reliable.

      • Oliver on 17/02/2012 - 18:58

        I have lots of these in a 4GB version. They have always been very reliable but slow. Their transfer speed is pretty mediocre. It usually sits at 5MB/sec +/- 1MB i.e. 4-6MB/sec.

    • [Deactivated] on 17/02/2012 - 18:51

      I've had a 4GB one of these for about 1.5 years, it's quick and hasn't failed yet…

  • [Deactivated] on 17/02/2012 - 13:16

    Shitty drive, but ill give you a +ve just for finding it cheaper then the other deal :P
    Edit, Revoked, JaneJane found it :P

    +, even if it was the same price it has the advantage of not being ShoppingSquare

    • danilochan on 17/02/2012 - 13:43

      Nick
      It's not same price now. "At this moment", the latest price is $10.95 with $6 store credit rebate. Only $4.95 Each after rebate

      Hope to serve you well with this offer.

    Up to 3.9 per second write. So a 4gb Bluray rip would take about 18 Minutes all going well!!
    1 Hour and 12 minutes to fill it up.
    WOW, pass thanks.

    • llama on 17/02/2012 - 14:38

      Same deal and $6 cheaper again…

        But it's only cheaper because they give you SS credit, it's only good for those who buy regularly from SS. Thanks for the link.

      onetwothree's link is for apus auction. They have connections with Shopping Square.

  • mikljon on 17/02/2012 - 14:00

      I have a 4GB one in my USB hole right now. It is awfully slow.

      Like S - L - - O - - - W

  • cash8 on 17/02/2012 - 14:16

    Rep i bought one on ebay. tried to create a shoppingsquare account for the store credit, but registration kept telling me verification code was wrong. i tried like 10 times. any tech glitch with your site?

    Have a 8gb one and its awfully slow. Took 30minutes to put a 4gb file on it.

    All the dropbox deals giving me 19GB of space have filled my requirements. :D

  • Timetraveler on 17/02/2012 - 16:49

    of topic sorry, but whats a "fast" one that you guys can recommend?

    • ozAzn on 17/02/2012 - 19:43

      usb 3? that's a fast one. but give some time for computer stores (last time MSY) for deals closer to the 1GB:$1 ratio. MSY had theirs for $36 for a 32GB one.

    Look for the words in very very tiny print on the package that mentions "readyboost"

    This will be fast/very fast and approved by microsoft for use as a readyboost drive.

    Microsoft only approves fast/very fast flash drives and allow the "readyboost" tag.

    Some of these drives are real slow as mentioned above.

    for info on readyboost specis, check the wiki

  • zeomega on 17/02/2012 - 17:51

    16GB worth of slowness. Sandisk may be well known for their fast SD and CF cards, but their current generation flash drives are woeful. I have an old sandisk cruzer 16gb that i purchased a few years ago. 8.5MB/s transfer rate and i was very impressed.

    New sandisk purchased few months ago. 4MB/s. I've had friends all experiencing 3-5MB/s for current generation flash drives. My cheap toshiba/lexar drive goes faster than the sandisk.

    Unless you're patient… please don't buy one. Their customer service sucks too. I'm done with their flash drives for now. I suspect the substandard flash that does not make it though QC for their SD or CF cards gets put into flash drives, i'm just speculating here.

  • Oliver on 17/02/2012 - 19:07

    Does anyone know of any flash drives that transfer at equivalent speeds to large external USB drives?

    USB 2.0 is supposed to transfer at 480 Mbits/sec = 60MBytes/sec.

    In reality my WD USB drives (>1TB) reach a steady transfer rate of about 30MBytes/sec, whereas my numerous Sandisk flash drives transfer at a measly average of 5 MBytes/sec.

    Any suggestions for particular brands of flash drives that will be as fast as the larger USB drives?
    Or should I just got for only USB 3.0 flash drives? Has anyone had any personal experience with the recently released USB 3.0 flash drives and how fast they transfer on average?

    • llama on 17/02/2012 - 23:21

      USB 2.0 is supposed to transfer at 480 Mbits/sec = 60MBytes/sec

      You are forgetting all the control overheads, error checking, etc. The best you will get from a HARDDRIVE is about half that, 30MB/sec.

      A good test is dropping a USB 3.0 drive on a USB 2.0 port, so that you know for sure that the USB 2.0 port is what is limiting things. I've run lots of tests - a 7200RPM in a USB dock on a PCI-e USB 3.0 card gets me about 90-95MB/sec. That is the same speed as the same drive did when it was on aninternal SATA port.

      Just ran a HDtune on it in the USB 2.0 port and it gets a flatline 29MB/sec.

      whereas my numerous Sandisk flash drives transfer at a measly average of 5 MBytes/sec.

      Sandisk actually does make (assmeble) some good memory. But their cheapest stuff is… crap. You have to be careful not to choose products based ONLY on the initial price :-)

      Any suggestions for particular brands of flash drives that will be as fast as the larger USB drives

      A generic USB 3.0 drive might get you 30-40MB/sec writes. Examples are the A-Ram range.

      This Kingston one is blazingly fast… http://www.cravingtech.com/kingston-usb-3-flash-drive-datatr… - check it out LOL
