Sorry if this has been posted before but I though it looked like quite a good deal as amazon sell these things for £30 +P&P

    Microsoft mouse for £1.16 doesn't sound too outrageously expensive, either :)
    Thanks to all who post constructively.

  • Hi

    I bought one of these - and it's a bit different to the one as described

    It is 1gb, but the manufacturer i got is "Peak III" - also it's black in colour, so not as the image in the link.

    Have i been ripped off? Any advice - should i ask for a refund etc.

    Never heard of the manufacturer, and howcan you tell what the "Memory Manufacturer" is? It says samsung in the link.

    thanks

    It does say that it may vary from picture, and describes it as "Sumvision / Samsung". I don't think you've been ripped off (but I'm no expert)

    £20 is a very good price for a 1GB USB drive, so I don't think you've been ripped off. However, I would seriously doubt the 480Mb/s transfer rate claimed in the description.

  • site says no out of stock
  • Maybe "ripped off" was a bit harsh - and i possibly have fallen into the "what's in a name" type-of-thinking - but just wondered whether or not i should eep it, or if i had been duped, price is good, no doubt but is the product?.
