USB 3 Flash Drive - 16 or 32GB

Anyone know of a good deal anywhere on a USB 3.0 flash drive?

I got one of these a short while ago and it's working well.

Don't buy the rubber Corsair ones as they go faulty more often, although I'd prefer a cap one rather than a slider but it was the cheapest at the time.
Delivery is €7.50 or something though so it's more worthwhile if you're order above €100 which is free.

Keep an eye on memoryc. They sometimes have discounts and their free delivery often outweigh savings at other places.

Yeah, but be very careful about what you buy and who you buy it from. A lot of fake memory on ebay.

Thanks all. Went with this one for £17.10 on Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lexar-JumpDr...4327448&sr=8-1

Got stung on eBay before by a seller with great feedback. The memory stick had the capacity stated but the read and write speeds were nowhere near what they should be.
