It is a deal if you live in sydney and can go and pickup though
to summarize, does that review make this a good buy? I see the price was 17 euros, but that would have been a while ago.
I think it's an ok buy.
Depends on what you want to do, I guess.
They're all clearing out crud before midyear replenishment.
The new ones having 3-4x faster write.
