Wow, the 1GB I just bought for £30 was excellent value, but 4x the amount for 3x the price!!!

Mind you (to be honest) 1GB (for me) is plenty as it's enough to easy fit a CD onto, so great for transferring data between machines.

But still 4GB.. WOW !!!

You think this is a price error?

Sandisk Website = $319.99

Even with £ to $ conversion and a bit of discount, that's one hell of a lot less!

It's on their website marked as a special "End of Month Flash Drive Blowout"

Cheapest I have seen it elsewhere is £108. But most places have it for over £150.

Must admit I'm tempted by this, but in no way can I justify it :brickwall
Errr, not in the 16GB one (though would be nice) but the 4GB one.

Woah!! That 16GB one is: "Sale Price: $1,299.00"

That's insane! That's like over £700!!

A mate has the 4gb one from Ebuyer. He believes it's a counterfeit, load of problems with it.

Tell him to download the cruzerlock software from the sandisk website and see if it picks up the drive (the software only installs on authentic sandisk drives)

He's already tried installing the cruzerlock software from the sandisk website. It won't install at all. Currently waiting to hear from Ebuyer.

Update:

Got mine this week. It does appear to be a fake. The sandisk software refuses to recognise the drive in windows and my mac reports the drive as a 1 Terabyte drive and has a vender id that seems to belong to Asustek also is listed as usb1 only.

Anyone buy one of these and have no problems?
Very tempted to buy one and take a chance as I could really make use of it.

I got one from Ebuyer.

It was painfully slow and, as mentioned, showed up as 1tb!!!

I sent it back for a refund and got a 2gb Lexar JumpDrive Lightning..
