Verbatim are a good brand and this is a good price for 16 gigs.

There are Sony 8GB ones right next to them selling for $9.66

    USB 2.0 or 3.0 OP? I can't find it mentioned anywhere on the WOW website!

      • PLA74 on 21/08/2013 - 21:31

        Cool thanks!

      Yeah 2, not 3, I should have said. But the Sony ones I'm comparing it to are USB 2 as well.

      I don't normally worry about 2.0 vs 3.0 for a thumb drive, it's not like I'm a character in a movie yelling "come on, come on!" at the screen as the files copy across and the bad guys are running up the stairs.

      What and where is "umart"?

      • samdiatmh on 22/08/2013 - 11:16

        they're a computer part stockist (comparable to MSY)
        given your location, the nearest one for you would be in West Ryde

        linky, their website, which shows all locations: http://umart.com.au/

    If you buy this brand, be sure to check it if you're not going to straight away. I bought one of these for hubby, who popped it in the drawer (still in packaging) and when he went to use it 3 or 4 months later it was as dead as a doornail. The docket was long gone by that stage.

    • AmbroseChapel on 22/08/2013 - 10:15

      Checking now…

      Of course reading this…as long as you haven't binned it… you now have a way of obtaining a fresh receipt for aforementioned dead USB stick ;)

    Bought one for same price around February and it is one slow bugger. Don't get it if your going to transfer over 4gb files as will take a while.

      Would they be adequate(ly speedy) to record programs to my P.O.S.
      DSE GH5930 STB?

    I'd avoid Verbatim. Bought 16GB recently from a trusted source, supposedly USB 3.0, average write speed around 8MB/s… Thank you Verbatim, but never again, despite I still keep in high regard your old, good quality 1.44MB 3.5" FDDs…

  • kusala on 23/08/2013 - 08:14

    This is a good price for 16GB, so I purchased one. It has similar transfer speeds [9-10 MB/s] to my other usb 2.0 sticks.

  • KennyPowers on 24/08/2013 - 11:45

    Bought what seems to be the exact type a while back from Kmart. Wrote at like 4MBps was pure garbage considering they use to make some high quality dvd/cd media in the past was expecting quality but as said was pure shite.

    Got the 16 GB USB 2 and the 8 GB USB 3.

    Read/write results for the 16GB here. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4qIBG-HVPn9SDVzSUs5WmpPanc/…

    Read write for the 8GB here https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4qIBG-HVPn9NWpfZWxmY2pqaUE/…

    Should mention both were tested straight "out of the box".

    • Jacku on 27/08/2013 - 18:00

      Thanks I got the 8Gb version.

      The sales ending today.
