cheap USB flash drives ?

dlusman

I am looking to buy half a dozen small USB memory sticks ( either 1 or 2GB ).

Anyone know any cheap deals ?

But if you do, make sure you test every one of them with h2testw or f3 - I've had five or six of those, and every single one turned out to be faulty. Not fake - just having part of the memory space "dead".

7dayshop refunded no problem, and the Kingston and Dane-Elec ones I bought from them instead work and test out fine. It's taught me never to trust cheap pendrives...

Very difficult nowadays to get 2GB UFDs, let alone 1GB! And bizarrely they might cost more than the 4GB ones suggested, which is really the entry-level now.

+n for fwor's comments about testing the drives!

Th gadget SHow C% tested 19 (shown last week) tested to destruction. Driven over, washed , tumble dried and barnbecued.

5 survived till the barbecue when they all died. But an Integral 4GB Neon/Fluorescent resurrected itself and worked when cool.

Itwas also the cheapest Gb/£ too and got their vote.

£5 at Amazon.
