Not sure, the Lexar website says Hi-Speed what ever that means, but for less than $9 who cares?
Big fan of Lexar, will add to the USB collection. Thnks Pommie
Plus $4 postage to Sydney. Cheaper than the train ticket to go to my nearest store :-)
An Amazon reviewer posted:
Speed tests show that this drive has a 1 to 3 MB/sec write speed, but nearly a 25 MB/sec read speed.
This will make a good drive for my new XBOX 360 Slim. Wonder if it will pass the xbox test ?
Hopefully It will because my new Slim can't install all of contents DISC 2 on Forza 4, let alone the DLC it came with
Can someone confirm if I can use this drive for the xbox slim?
FYI Hardley Normal Midland(GT Eastern Hwy) have a big basket of the Toshiba 8G for $9 not sure what the speeds are compared to the Lexar
I believe the 8GB Toshiba's are NSW wide if not country wide. They're available at Castle Hill too
thanks bought two
aren't 8gb usb sticks normally around $8 anyways?
No. Getting an USB stick a dollar for GB or less is extremely rare and a bargain, especially the bigger you go. 8GB usually retail for $15 but can be bought for $10-12 on the cheap. Less than that it's a veritable bargain.
Only with 4GB sticks
Quoted from Lexar website "Surface with antimicrobial protection helps prevent the growth of stain and odor causing bacteria". GOLD!!.
Got 2 today for the A$8.74 each.
Not great specs but for the money, it's decent.
Thanks!^ i thought its not on sale till boxing day?
Tell 'em the speed son.
