SanDisk Ducati 4GB Flash Drive

[AYHJA]

Obviously sexy..! I want one bad, but I know that at $99 retail, maybe its a bit unreasonable...But I don't know, the speed seems sexy...Still may get one, but it will def. have to be in a rare splurge, in need of another thumb drive type thing...

Specs:

# 4GB Capacity
# Limited Edition - Ducati Model
# Hi-speed USB 2.0
# 20MB/s read & write speed
# Retractable USB connector
# Includes SanDisk Extreme Ducati Edition lanyard
# Includes RescuePRO Deluxe Recovery Software CD

is it because of it's shape or the Ducati thing the reason you want one?!? cos here in Oz one can get double the GB of that for about 23 US dollars..

[AYHJA]

If you can find one that can do 20MB/s (most drives get around 3-5 MB) for that price, I'll PayPal you that cash right now..!

[Sir Jig-A-Lot]

i'll look around,sir.

[cs_cdkey4]

I'd rather have double the size then double the transfer speed myself....

[Sir Jig-A-Lot]

pretty much how i feel.

[AYHJA]

Well, I have like 3 USB Harddrives...Anything I need to store over 4 GB can go on that...Nothing I can think of needs that much space, and at a slow speed, it would be rididculous wait times anyways...HD Episodes of Smallville are only 350 MB, I could put a couple of those, 10 albums, a shitload of pics, etc on a 4 GB card...

And plus, it would kick ass if I needed it for ReadyBoost...

[Sir Jig-A-Lot]

ReadyBoost?
that reminds me i need to go clear some more hard drive space & burn shit up on disc. again. thanx Ube

[AYHJA]

ReadyBoost is a feature of Vista that allows for you to use a USB drive, permitting its fast enough, as RAM...I have 2 GB already, but who knows what I may be into later and ReadyBoost comes in handy...

I don't think that it is worth the money. Unless you have some spare money.

Recently brought one of these which seems to have decent speed. Have not tried running any portable apps off it, but good enough for me.

I know someone who recently brought one of these. It is faster than mine. The case is thick rubber and the cap is a soft flexible rubber which does not offer much crush protection and might expand and not fit well after awhile.

He brought his for the speed. I brought mine for the thinness and I owned a PNY before. They are not leaving too much space between USB ports these days.
