considering the capacity, this 16 gig flashdrive is a real good deal

It's a good price for a 16GB drive, whether it's a good deal obviously depends on its reliability. I've been through several similar drives over the years and would only recommend the cheaper brands for non-essential data. If they break or corrupt your data there's little chance of getting it back. Of course, you could always buy two and keep one as a backup copy

hhmmm - I'd look at the larger 2.5" drives if I were going to spend that sort of money

80gb Drive - £46 :rotfl:

Looks like were getting close to that crossover point ..
These are the last days of storage devices that have mechanical things whizzing round inside .
