  Cheap portable storage but really slow. for people who want to transport large files and folders around then it's pretty handy, just as long as you don't want to transfer them over too often!

  Speed is not really an issue if you are using it to back up a NAS or something similar once a month as you won't be doing it often. I have a NAS, a back up hard drive and then something like this as an extra potential backup.

  4.87 mins to backup 1Gb (which is how much i'd want to backup) if it runs at its max speed, which it wont.

  i thought about this, but it still works out too slow.4.87 hours to backup 1Gb (which is how much i'd want to backup)

  
  
  **** I hadnt thought it would be that slow lol

  to transfer 1gb to this at 3.5mb/s would be well less than an hour. More like 15 mins max. (depending on the number of individual files of course. Lots of smaller files = slower transfer)

  i may have got my decimal place in the wrong place lol
  
  should have been 4.87 mins, which i dont believe for a second.

  HOT!
  
  I've just been looking for a Flash drive to hook up to my Nexus via the Media Importer app & was thinking of getting one this size at about 25 quid, so this is great.
  
  I'll just be putting all of my old magazines/books, pdf files, photos & music on in one (long) session.
  
  As the Media Importer app is a read only thing, am I right in thinking the write speed of this thing isn't too much of an issue? Or is the Read speed slow as well?

  the read speed is still slow, which may cause longer loading times, but should still work.
  
  the speeds wont stop it working, just make things take longer :)

  I should still be able to play music & open up pdfs without there being a big delay though, yes?

  Yes, the reading speed is fine to play any content. Will far exceed even HD video. Yo'll only notice read speeds when transferring files on or off the device, not in opening or playing content.

  This was previously available from Zavvi Outlet on eBay (see this deal), and I purchased one. When I tested it, the performace was significantly better than that stated:
  
  

  3guesses

  OK, have tested it using H2testw in a USB 2.0 slot on my laptop under Windows XP after re-formatting it (couldn't re-format from Explorer, had to use Disk Manager instead - don't recall having to do that with other USB flash drives). Took 1h58m50s to fill the drive and 45m09s to verify, giving the following:
  
  

  Warning: Only 60333 of 60399 MByte tested.
  Test finished without errors.
  You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.
  Writing speed: 8.46 MByte/s
  Reading speed: 22.3 MByte/s
  H2testw v1.4
  

  
  I'm quite happy with that.

  
  
  It's a nice piece of kit, feels well-made and is quite petite. The packaging also stated that it has a 5 year warranty 8-))

  Out of interest can a Google nexus (unrooted with the nexus media importer and OTG adapter) cope with this or is it limited to 32GB max?

  seconded, I bought one as well and can confirm it is faster than stated for larger files.
  My only gripe is that the blue led on it is astonishingly bright. I have had to tape it up in order to prevent getting blinded (slight exaggeration).
