I'm looking fir a new memory stick as I'm sick of juggling all the small ones I have.
I have looked on eBay and amazon and there's some decent deals but I wondered if any of you tech savvy people know of really good deals out there?
Ideally looking fir a 16 or 32gig one as larger are stupid expensive. (I do have portable drive made from
My old laptop HD, but Its too big to be in my pocket all the time while carrying/moving stuff at work).
Cheers all, mark

look on 7dayshop.com I picked up a 32gb for £12.99 they also do a multi pack, not the fastest flash drive but good enough for booting from.

this is the one i got

or they are doing a twin pack of the above for £21.99 or a 64gb usb 3 for £22.990 -
I find large USB 2.0 Flash Drives agonisingly slow to copy large files.
USB 3 Flash drives are faster, but USB 3 is not well supported yet.0 -
USB3 is also backward compatible with USB2 so they would slow themselves down to match your equipped, if you know you dont have USB3 then buy USB2 after all USB3 is a bit more expense than the usb20

Own this one :

Small, reasonably fast. Strong, one piece metal case with loop, strong enough to hold bunch of about 10 keys and survive daughters school use as well.
Would happily recommendWhen cycling, I pay the same road tax as any other zero carbon emission vehicle.0
