no this will not work with your xbox 360 unless you partion the flash drive

Is there an LED on this and if so, what color is it?

Does this support any type of DES encryption? I wouldn't want to use a thumb drive this large without it!

For such a large size, pretty slow write speed. I have a 16gb that writes at 20mb/sec. I like the capacity but the write speed makes me pass.

I'm just wondering how the read/write speed of this drive compares to other 32GB flash drives?...

Absolutely brilliant product description!

And so it ends

As for the drive, not a bad deal compared to elsewhere:

This is the cheapest I've seen a 32GB Flash Drive. I purchase computer crap for a Hospital and the ones I looked at today were all over $50.

This would be great for a ps3, once formatted to fat32.

I have been waiting for these to go down in price and finally, $1.25 per GB. Wonderful, bought one.

seems like a steal at that price

its at least 50% more elsewhere online

32GB? I'm so in.

And so the saga of Mr. Meier begins........

Write speed (5MB/s, I think) may be too slow for me, but this is a great price nonetheless.

why do you say that? i am using a 32GB drive with my Xbox 360, unpartitioned.

*10MB/sec. read, 5MB/sec. write


This is laughable. If you don't need the space go get a 30MB/s r/w stick. Those are generally 8gig for $20, but it's much faster.

awesome. flash drive prices have finally reached those of harddrives in 2003. $1/gig

Back when I was your age a 256mb flash drive cost this much..

Thats aproximately 7 ripped dvds maybe 8.

Every traveling sound man w/a band says thx WOOT! Perfect for carrying valuable data to digital consoles.

Based on a quick Googling, this "Christian Schlachte" kid is actually a real high school student. Anybody care to share what's going on here?

This reviewer had trouble with Windows

...but Microsoft says it's compatible.

$71.11 at Amazon (Go ahead - click me, I dare ya)

Is the 10 MB/Sec read speed fast enough to stream music to a car stereo head w/ a USB Port?

I'm holding out for the Kingston DT310 that I just found of their website. 256gb of flash memory. The downside? $1077. I'll wait until our beloved Woot blows them out at 2 for $20, in less than two years, I would bet.

Unless you only want the .avi files. Then it's roughly 32-33 =]

Does she come with a lanyard?

What do you mean "support DES"? It's a virtual hard drive. It's storage. Your COMPUTER encrypts your data, then it gets stored on things, like this.

I'd be more interested in it's error correcting and bit-write monitoring. That's the kind of thing that needs to be built into a virtual hard drive, particularly FlashRAM that has a very limited lifespan.

I finally feel old. I'm turning 30 next month, and I remember buying a 20GB hard drive in '99 for $300+.

And I had to spool it up with a hand crank.

My pet dinosaur crushed it later that year.

:-(

yes. pretty much any flash drive is fast enough to stream mp3 files.

This is actually a really impressive deal for a nice drive. W00t!

I've been wanting one of these for a while and this is a great price. I'm going to have a clean, bootable OS for traveling or restoring.

rileyper wrote:no this will not work with your xbox 360 unless you partion the flash drive

it will work on your 360 but the 360 only supports up to 16 GB of external memory, so you will have 16 GB of extra space to do with what you wish

So 32GB costs $39.99 and an extra 16GB on an iPhone costs $100?!?

If I didn't know any better, I'd say Apple is ripping us off.

Don't worry, I just turned 31...
My first thumb drive was only 16 MB!!! and it cost me close to $100 on sale!

Come on, man up Mr. Meier!
