Hi all,

I was at Auspost yesterday and saw this great deal.

Lexar Jumpdrive V10 - USB 2 16gb flash drive $4.99.

This was in Sydney, I'm not sure if it's in all Auspost stores or not.

Cheers.

    Sorry, I don't think it's on the website. I saw this when I was at the Australia Post shop.

  If you can't afford that one, there's an 8GB Sandisk going at OfficeWorks for $2.75 (after rounding up). See http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/sandisk-8gb…

  I've got a friend whose hard drive crashed and he's broke but he just wanted to surf the web, watch DVD's and plays CD's, so I installed WattOS (http://www.planetwatt.com/ - a derivative of Ubuntu linux) on one of these and it runs beautifully with about 1Gb spare. I later discovered that Lubuntu has a bigger install iso than WattOS but installs smaller and leaves more space - Lubuntu also uses the same window manager and is based on Ubuntu 15.10 rather than 14.04 LTS like WattOS, so I think it will stay more current through updates. With some fudging you can also fit Linux Mint - See http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=182642 - but you won't have much free space unless you uninstall LibreOffice and it's also based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

  Hope someone finds this useful.

  Crap USB drive. Speed tested at only 5.5MB/sec write speed. Dont waste your money !

    Depends on what you use it for, I guess. Mine averaged 8.7mb/sec write speed.

    Also, it's $5. For me backing up small files or taking files between work and home, it's perfect.

    Just because it is slow doesn't make it crap. A crap USB drive is one with a case that breaks easy, a plastic USB connector that is difficult to insert and breaks easy or a drive that loses its contents. If it is slow it still a good device. Not everybody needs fast speed USB especially if they are only using the device to view photos, spreadsheets and word processing documents.

  What I use these for is Windows system image backups. Oh, & pensioners needing a backup device x 2.

  Perfect. Thanks, OP. I'll check my local PO.

  Ta!
