        You bought an 8GB USB 4 years ago for $15? Where from?

        • MHLoppy on 02/02/2011 - 19:26

          links to 8GB O_O

        • arctophile on 02/02/2011 - 20:43

          oops should've mentioned mine is 2GB

        • MHLoppy on 03/02/2011 - 16:03

          ah, that makes a bit more sense :)

  • superkieu on 02/02/2011 - 14:12

    nice price!

  • cosmochemistry on 02/02/2011 - 14:21

    USB 2.0 makes it slightly less appealing but for the price I won't complain.

    • WaywardOne on 02/02/2011 - 16:47

      USB 2.0 should allow 480mbit maximum speed. That will allow a read speed of 60 MBytes/s. This thing is no where near that.

        But that's the technical maximum, other factors come into play that mean the realistic ceiling is about 40MB/s

      • annoynimous on 02/02/2011 - 17:11

        usb 2.0 wasnt duplex so its 30 up 30 down, realistically most cheap usb 2.0 devices average out on 21-25 MB/s, if you get 30MB/s you are blessed with a good one.

  • JDub2000 on 02/02/2011 - 14:22

    What MLN like with their postage times?

    • padfoot07 on 02/02/2011 - 14:31

      I've never actually bought anything from their online store. I live close to the actual shop so it is easier for me to get it from there.

  • Jaybee88 on 02/02/2011 - 15:11

    I added item to cart and it charged me 9 bucks for shipping. Total $20, no deal for me.

      yeah thats why i just go in store.

    Benchmarks please?

    I have this drive, I bought it for 20 from HN not too long ago. Feel ripped off now lol. It transfers at about 20mb/s but obviously peaks higher. Very good flash drive IMO.

    • MHLoppy on 02/02/2011 - 16:18

      Is that read or write? And what sort of files were being read/written?

      Ed: I would be quite impressed if that was write :)

      • StewBalls on 02/02/2011 - 17:52

        So would I, given that the missus has one & the xfer speeds on hers are woeful…I've never got it to crack 5mb/s! I cringe whenever she suggests I put a movie on it for her! ;)

          I think most of the cheap USB2 thumbs only do 5MB/s writes. I have a 16GB Sandisk and thats all it does. I also have a 32GB Corsair GTR and that does 28MB/s writes and 35MB/s reads. However, it cost $90. It's worth it if you're loading them up with movies or big apps.

      • cameland on 02/02/2011 - 18:07

        Reads at 17.78MB/s and writes at 11.02MB/s.

          That's quite a nice write speed, thanks for the info :)

        • StewBalls on 02/02/2011 - 18:29

          Damn, I should take the missus' one back to Hardly Normal & tell 'em to use it as a suppository!!! She did only pay $7 for it though…when the Lexars ran out last sale they started dishing those out! ;)

    • jjohnrichard on 02/02/2011 - 16:37

      HN had the 16GB model of the same type for $19 last month, are you sure yours is 8GB?

    that's a good price

  • dudi on 02/02/2011 - 18:37

    I got one from MLN. Worth the price

  • qazwsx on 02/02/2011 - 19:49

    At Myer for $14.95 if you find going to Myer more convenient and don't want to be slugged for postage (pg5 in Myer's catalogue)

  • Crownanchor on 02/02/2011 - 22:04

    Nice price, anyone able to price match this deal for non Melbourne people?
