64gb of usb 3.0 (inc usb 2.0) flash lightning!! £24.99 @ 7dayshop
Title says it all. 7 day shops own brand, 64gb of Flash ram in a usb stick in the realm of USB 3.0. Great price price for 64gb even better if you have usb 3.0 hardware (usb 2.0 compatible, though slower). Might not be superfast in camparison, but unless its mission critical this is superb value. I know there is a difference is quality, but Im amazed everytime how tablet manufacturers charge an arm and leg for 32gb 64gb devices, where here its just so cheap. Greedy thats all..

35-36 minutes to fill it up hehe :)
- Read Speed Up To: 60MB/s
Looks pretty damn good to me!
OK, but how often most people likely to want to write that much data at one time?
On your estimate, that's 2.5 minutes to write a DVD's worth of info which sounds OK to me!

How is this 'slow for USB3'? Up to 30MB/s write and 60MB/s read is slow? Just because the USB3.0 bus can theoretically do up to 500MB/s (5Gbit/s) doesn't mean you can expect a flash drive to do the same.
I would realistically expect a USB 3 flash drive to be faster than this but for 64Gb of portable storage it's still a good deal.

Most USB3 flash drives are twice as fast, but they usually cost >£60 as well.
Btw @ darkle: Im sure both usb flash, SSD and tablet memory and the likes are all NAND memory, just different qualities and controllers used.
Even modern decent usb flash drives last a long time or sustain many write cycles. I dont think manufacturers can truly justify the difference in cost for 16 - 32 -64 gb memory capacities....
So better than I first thought.

The tone of my post didn't really come across too well, I was basically meaning that 36 minutes was a good time to fill an entire 64gb USB drive. And yes when are you going to be writing that much data in one go. 2 mins for 4-5 gb is very good.

A few flash drives manage 25MB/s over USB2.0, so this isn't particularly quick by USB3.0 standards.
