What's the deal?

Online store SVP is offering 4GB USB flash drives for £14.73 including delivery. This is the lowest price seen for this amount of storage space.

USB flash drives are effectively keys you stick in the back of your computer and save things on (pictures, videos, documents). Then you can carry your data with you to any other computer and load it there; like good ol' floppy disks, but this 4GB version has almost 3000 times more storage space.

Or more technically, they're a "removable, portable, piece of hardware that can be used to store files and allows easy transfer of those files to laptops and PCs."

How do I get one?

Simply go to the SVP website and add one to your basket. You'll need to change the number from 0 to 1. Make sure it's the 4GB drive you're picking if that's what you want as SVP is also selling a 2 GB drive for £7.99 plus delivery.

The 4GB drive shows as £12.98 excluding delivery on this page. When you reach checkout simply change the delivery charge to the small items option.

What if it goes down in price?

Plus it's worth keeping an eye on the SVP website if you've bought one as it has a price drop promise. If the shop reduces the price of something you've bought within a week of you ordering it then email them pointing out the reduction and you'll be refunded the difference.

What if they run out of stock?

As sometimes happens when something's been in the weekly email stock can run out due to demand. If that happens or you simply want to buy from a more well-known company then these are next cheapest (all include delivery):

• Play.com branded flash drive £14.99 Play.com
• Buffalo £16.99 Amazon
• Sumvision £17.44 Micro Direct
• Bytestore £17.49 Amazon
• Kingston Data Traveller £19 Value Shop

For cheaper 4GB memory sticks - try E-bay ..... but don't over-bid.

Determine your genuine maximum bid - and be patient, bidding on items in turn (as there are 500-ish constantly on sale).

Eventually you will win one (some) within your maximum bid.

I have bought four of these recently, paying £10+, £11+, £11+ and £12.50 .... because my ceiling bid was £12.50.

I was out-bid on many others, by bidders willing to pay up to £20.

I bought a 4gb pen just after midnight on Wednesday morning and it arrived by first class post on Thursday. Fantastic service and I got regular e-mails saying the order was received, then picked, then packed, then posted. I'll use SVP again, certainly!

Beware of fakes on eBay though, there are alot and most won't actually have the amount of memory claimed.

In case anyone is interested, 4GB USB drives on the play.com website are now £13.99 including delivery. I have just ordered one so can't comment on service/delivery time just yet, but the price seems decent!
