I have not used & tested it but it is a good price for USB 3.0. Please feel free to comment on its speed and reliability. Limited stock available for purchase online with free store pick-up or at store.
EDIT: Price went up to $47.88 which is not a bargain at all. Marked as expired.
Going to do a bit of research myself, Lexar aren't known for their speed (from what I've read) but the price does make it enticing.
I myself use the Patriot Rage and Patriot Express 3.0 that I got from msy and never had issues (touch wood), and before that it was Kingston and Sandisk.
Anyone else had experience with Lexar?
Lexar drive speeds do vary (some excellent, mostly poor), but http://www.legitreviews.com/news/12281/ says it will do 20MB/s writes and 45MB/s reads
Bought one early last week, have had no problems with it so far.
I guess you get what you pay for.
ACCC would beg to differ. if an Aus store sells it, then it should be fit for purpose… :)
I was referring to quality. I'm not going to go out and buy a commodore and expect Benz build quality.

Lexar 4gb did not work straight from the pack. But so does a toshiba 8gb. Good that hn replaced or gave credit for both.
http://www.legitreviews.com/news/12281/ says it should have 20MB/s writes and 45MB/s reads. Reasonable speeds for a drive this price.
Comes up as $47 for me.
For some application speed isnt everything (hope im not sounding like james may!)
if it was indeed $29, i wouldnt mind buying a couple to throw in the car for emergency drives, or even to have MP3s for the head unit
It was $29 when I looked at OW this morning. I don't know why the price increased so quick within 2 hours of my post.
maybe it was a pricing error and since OW now appear to monitor OZB they changed it?
really bad review from their top contributor
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
