USB Flash Drive 32/64GB with USB 3.0

g0g

Anyone got any recommendations on these? Looking to pick up a good deal. Have been keeping an eye on HUKD too but nothing coming up has ticked all the boxes for me. Ideally I'm looking for something small to go on a keyring.

1) Like the look of this Kingston one. It has very good speeds and is cheap, but many point out it's very big both in terms of having on a keyring and fitting into a USB port beside other items.

2) This one is fantastic in terms of size, but apparently the write speeds are very slow which kinda defeats the purpose of going for USB 3.0.

Am I wasting my time looking at USB 3.0 and is a 2.0 a better option? Something like this?

Anyone ever heard of Grixx? Some price for 128GB!!

How is value on these things in B&M or is there a big gap between them and online?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Nice one thanks for that! Ever heard of the brand PQI? I asked on the computers forum about them too. Memory C seem to have a lot of their products - some of them look very nice at a good price point e.g. this one

Not many of them listed on that tests page and can't find a whole lot of recent reviews for them online.

I've not heard of them before.

Thanks again! Not a whole lot to go on is it!? Found a few mentions on Amazon since then. They have a decent looking company website, but sure what does that count for! :rolleyes:

Yeah. it's 50/50. They could be okay, but not enough info anywhere really.

This looks an excellent price - http://www.zoombits.co.uk/shop/kingston-64gb-datatraveler-dtm30-usb-3.0-flash/26808

But not on that UK link. Only on some of the EU links for €16.99 Delivered.

France

Spain

I've not tried to order from the French or Spanish sites before, but it might go through. They don't have an Irish site, and ordering from French or Spanish site makes as much sense as ordering from the UK site, especially considering they all come from the same place (Jersey).

In case anyone comes across this thread in future or searches for PQI, I did go ahead and take a chance but sadly it under-performed. I ran a few speed tests on the drive and it could only achieve max 25 write speed and somewhere in the 140's on read. The read I'd have been happy enough with but the write was too far off advertised speed! MemoryC were excellent about responding to my request for refund and I'd use them again, but not that brand! The search continues for a new deal!
