380

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.

        not das auto, das dirty….

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

    • +2

      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!
