Great find. Love them.

No brand rubbish. I'd be wary of this, you should be able to pick up 8GB online for under a 10er, and 16GB for around 13 delivered. Always be wary of no name USBs.

RidleyRider

Branded ones are awesome to have on the keys. I'm a f*cker for losing usb's :pac:

you can get a full metal 16gb kingston data traveller for under a tenner on amazon.

i have one on my keys and it's never getting lost thanks to the solid metal loop on it attaching it to my keys.

even if you *have* to have a nano one you can get a branded sandisk 16gb one off amazon for around £10. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B005FYNSZA/sr=1-1/qid=1370053178/ref=olp_tab_new?ie=UTF8&colid=&coliid=&condition=new&me=&qid=1370053178&seller=&sr=1-1

sorry, but this really isn't a bargain alert.

I'd like to echo what Vibe and Alan have said. Is Pigsback still going? God be with the days when I'd have multiple accounts in order to get free phone credit and dvd rental vouchers! Won the €20 Crossword one time and donated it to Crumlin Chilrens's Hospital. They realised I had about 18 different accounts and was breaking their TOU but a daycent old skin there turned a blind eye!

Argos have a SanDisk 16gb tiny one for around 12 or 13 quid. Picked one up the other day

Agree with Vibe... this is not a bargain. The equivalent branded is a good bit cheaper on the like of amazon.

EoghanConway

This would be a bargain if you could use piggypoints to buy it outright, but they don't let you do that any more. Just reduce the cost by up to 20%

a bigger variation, branded SDHC reader

http://www.7dayshop.com/kingston-microsdhc-8gb-class-4-usb-microsd-reader
Kingston microSDHC Memory Card - 8GB - Class 4 + USB microSD Reader £6.29


Another option is to take the circular micro SD readers in the poundshops and remove plastic bit.

I have a 8GB one of those. Lovely design, but horribly slow read/write speeds.

If you talk about any USB drive bigger than 4GB you HAVE TO CONSIDER SPPEED - unless you need it to save some data once a month or something.

Allyall

You'd pick up a 16GB Kingston USB 3.0 for £7.73

Might not be the best usb 3.0, but you can guarantee it would beat the one in the OP.

Flying sppeedss.

expired anyway

I think these were mentioned in the thread, but this is the drive I use and I'd recommend them to anyone who isn't too concerned with speed:

Thinking of getting another one for the keyring. They're very solid and won't be breaking and getting lost. Really hope they come out with a usb3 edition.

Edit: Not quite as nano as the one in the OP.
