| Need a cheap USB flashdrive? Any local sites/stores?
I need a 8 or 16gb USB flashdrive for my car. Ebay has a ton of no name flashdrives but is there any local shops or websites that carry them?

The prices have been pretty constant and haven't been going up nor down.

I guess you can try the night market. Didn't pay attention so I can't tell you what the prices are.

today's special at ncix
16gb 20$ http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...n&promoid=1043
the 8gb is listed at 18.99 i believe... which i find really bizarre since the 16gb is the same.

Guys...it's not that great of a deal because it is a USB 1.1
We're on USB 2.0 right now. USB 1.1 is previous generation use
The speed on this drive is:
5MB read
1.5MB write
You're going to be waiting a long ass time to transfer stuff to/from the USB drive |

I'm just using it for mp3's so I can plug this drive in my car so speed isn't a big issue.

you might as well do it before you sleep because it probably won't be finished by the time you wake up |

From this chart, it shows that it has standard transfer speeds: http://www.kingston.com/flash/dt_chart.asp |

cause the name clearly says usb 2.0
and i beleive the original datatraveler's are 2.0...so it wouldnt make sense for their generation 2 line to be 1.1...
i also just googled the drive's read/write speed and apparently it's
(write): 6.27 MB/ s
(read): 12.04 MB/ s

Deal is over. I missed out on this hot deal. I guess this is the current hot deal for 16gb USB drive: http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/s...ight=usb+drive
Walmart 16gb Duracell drive for $29. Price match at bestbuy for $26.99.
