    I was just gonna say the same thing. 4Mb/s write on a 64Gb stick is horrid. 10Mb/s would be the bare minimum on such a stick.

    Almost 4 and a half hours to fill the 64GB version, and almost 2 hours to read the data off it again!

      Thats only if it runs at its max speed it maybe much slower

    It's a bargain because it is slow

      It will cost you more than the saving is worth in powering your PC waiting to fill this horribly slow POS drive.

  4 mb/s write speed???

  I'm not going to neg this because it is still technically a bargain - but that is just too slow for a 64GB drive.

  For another $12 this one is much faster.

    I need to buy a 32gb drive. Is it the cheapest place to buy?

    •

      For 32gb this ebay guy sells genuine Transcend.
      I have bought from him before a few times and have tested the speeds. The Transcend 700 is USB 3.0 so is the fastest and most of the USB 2.0 ones write pretty fast(18mb/s - 19mb/s).

      Still, the 64gb from mymemory.co.uk is great value for money and the speed is very nice.
      That's the one I would buy.

  But $35 for 64gig stick is amazing. I was looking through old receipts on the weekend and saw one when I bought a 128meg sd card. $310!!!!
  I had to wait for them to be released in aust and 128 was the biggest you could get.

  As a pointer - most people won't fill all of the 64GB at the same time? So doesn't that make the write speed kind of trivial unless you're storing a lot simultaneously.

    mr_fjackson on 29/05/2012 - 09:35

    say if you put a small file say 4 gig thats going to take 17 mins to copy that to the stick (again if it runs at its max speed)

    • 

      youknow on 29/05/2012 - 19:09

      agree with you, but love how we define 4 gig as "a small file" :)

  I had to copy 7gb onto my 8gb USB stick last night, I get about 12mb write speed and that was painful enough… I can't imagine copying large files onto this thing.

  Probably good for somebody who is using it as backup / moving around lots of smaller files.

  Also the shipping from OzGameshop is pretty slow usually, since they are based in UK

  It's the sort of thing you'd put several operating system installers onto, then a partition with apps. Because it'd be an all in one solution to install/repair a pc and once set up you'd only update a handfull of files at a time.

    But the process of installing operations from this usb drive will still be pain-in-the-butt slow.

  Just though I would post that I have this already.

  Its writing at 8.15mbps as I type and has peaked at a little over 11mbps.

  I am copying 24 gig to it and it says 45 minutes remaining.

  I will buy another one.

  edit

  crap… they are out of stock already
