USB stick question

nv200

Note that you will see on some USB sticks that are suitable for Vista, this mean Vista can use the USB stick as additional computer memory. When you plug it in for the first time and the autoplay dialog box launches(if you have autoplay enabled) the bottom option will be Speed up my System, this is using ReadyBoost technology.

Bear in mind this will eat up some of the space on the USB key as memory.

If you want more info on any of this then PM me

I brought one of these a few days ago ...
It's very fast and has a lifetime warranty.

Whose lifetime - yours, or its?

Tesco have a 4GB Sandisk flash drive for £7.80, and an 8 GB for £11.72, which seems pretty good value to me.

Just received delivery of Cruzer Micro from SanDisk 8GB £8.95
It says with U3 Readyboost Flash Drive.
Got it to see if it speeds up my laptop - already got 2GB memeory - wondered if this would make a difference.

8gb+are more expensive i paid £70

Even eight months ago you paid through the nose for that. I bought a 16GB flash drive from Play.com in November (if I remember correctly) for £14.99. If you have a little patience and both look around and wait for deals to crop up you can bag a real bargain with flash drives.

Your not quite aware of what the survivor GT is are you? especially back then the standard survivor was about 1/3 more than the same storage of standard drives the GT is a high performance one and were very new at the time and were more expensive about double the standard survivor. the price differences are a lot smaller now but the fact I was going through 2 or 3 normal drives a year spending the extra was well worth it. as it has survived till now.
