To give you an idea of speed, I copied a large number of small files at a speed of 5MB/second. You might get a better idea of true speed by copying one large file.

That seems very slow.

Are you copying between two equal drives both connected to usb 3 ports while the machine is doing nothing else?

Managed to get 2 of these. The quality is surprisingly poor compared to the Samsung ones. The edges aren't smoothed off and the port is weak. A little bit disappointed but I shouldn't complain at 25euro.

Yeah just checked there and that poster made mulitple reservations in Carlow, waterford, arklow, killarney and Castlebar in order to trade for a Naas code. On principle i wouldn't even think about helping out such a person.

Why are swaps still being let happen? It's a disgrace. This thread should be closed or modded better to prevent people like this. Some of the price really took the pics with reserving with no intention of getting near the stores.

I agree with you. But, I waited for nearly 4 days to get a code for Cork. Everyday, it vanished within seconds it was available. Then, there were lot of discussions on swap, etc. So, I thought why shouldn't I give a try. If everyone followed your advice, I would have got a code for cork by now.

Ban the ****ers. Everyone can see who has done it, there's 3 or 4 who have posted every 2nd post saying they have codes for x, y and z. They'd have reserved it in Zambia if they'd have been given the chance.

The trouble people are going to to save €20 odd quid on something they probably don't even really want is remarkable.

If argos had a problem with it, they would take steps to prevent it - charge at reservation or minimal deposit to be deducted from the final price or forfeited to charity if not collected BUT argos are happy with the way their service runs.

If you ban it, it will still happen underground.

If it upsets you, just don't read the threads - what you don't know won't hurt you. It's much like a Tesco deal where the staff keep everything for themselves... Do I wish I'd gotten some of those deals, but hey, life goes on. What does surprise me us how upset you all are, it's a saving of €25, is it worth the nastiness some of you are directing to other boardsies?

What's really annoying me is there's a codes thread for people to offer or seek codes but almost 300 posts on this thread are to do just that, clogging up the thread sometimes leading to people missing availability updates. Is it really so hard to click the correct thread?
