Verbatim 16GB Store & Go Pinstripe USB €15 Lidl 14th May 2012

Patty O Furniture

I was looking at the Weekly Offers in Lidl 14th May 2012

Is this a good offer?

• Minimum read speed - 10MB/sec
• Minimum write speed - 4MB/sec
• Push and pull sliding feature protects USB connection
• Lightweight, Striped Design

I bought an Medion 8gb usb stick from Aldi last year, it copies over a 350 MB file in about 2m, sounds about the same write speed,
Can there be faster speeds? & better bargains on other sites?

Thanks.

Have i posted in the right place to ask advice as well as maybe posting it as a possible purchase, instead of people just lookin at the post.

Thanks for any advice.

Where can you find out specs on your own usb sticks for read & write speeds.

Uhm, the only thing I notice, is that the Lidl one says "Minimum speed" whereas the others are "Up to", or maximum... so is there really much of a difference?
