    What you also need to bare in mind, is cheap USB memory sticks are often very slow at data transfer.

    I can't match those prices when taking speed into comparison. Taking two brands to compare - expensive in comparison with your links! But it depends on your requirements.

    Lexar JumpDrive Secure II Plus - 4Gb, £29 - takes 4 mins, 14 secs to write 1Gb of data in 4Mb files.

    PNY Attache Pro - 4Gb - £52 (v expensive) - takes only 58 seconds in the same test above, that's 4.4 times faster.

    (Group test in PC Pro Jan 2008 edition, these were the two extremes in speed and price)
  • The ALDI one is a PNY Attache, a top quality piece of kit and USB2.0. It even comes with a short high quality extension USB cable, in case your USB ports are around the back of the PC, or susceptible to potential damage (Which would you rather break off in the socket? The plug of a replaceable cable, or the plug of your pen drive with all your data on it?). PC World's price is £29.98.
    The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life. :)

    The play one is made by Integral. They also come under the name bytestor. I got one from Amazon early this year for £20 and use it almost every day.

    If you go to Aldi they also sell a cheap portable CD stereo for £15.99 that plays mp3 cdr's and has play usb the stick above works fine in it. Its a bit cheapo looking but works fine also has aux input.
