Cheap thumb drive

[Mercutio]

A company called BuyDig.com is offering Lexar 32GB USB3 thumb drives for $12 on Ebay. I bought a couple and they came in the same obnoxious retail packaging as the ones I've seen at Microcenter.

Thanks for the beta. Did you fill it all the way up yet and check the chip was not fake?

Thanks for the tip. Seems like a decent price for some basic projects and keeping files portable. I'm also curious if you can fill it to the max without any issues.

I need about 20GB to store good sysprep image and another ~6GB for different versions of MS Office. All of the drives I bought have at least that much stuff on them and all of them have been used to restore that data at least a couple times.

I bought three more. I was shipped two 64GB models and 1 32GB. They're all two-tone white and grey, but since this borders on too good to be true, I actually verified all three.

They write at about 50MB/sec and read back at just under 80MB/sec, but all three passed verification.

Today they are up to $35.
