Tough, foldable, 2gb (at least) flashdrive for under £10 in the UK ?
on: August 06, 2008, 02:31:36 AM
Title says it all, i'm looking for a flashdrive that can live on my keys so must be tough, and i'd prefer a folding type without a removable cover. Any ideas ?

EBay?  That's where I go for simple electronics like flash drives etc.

I have one of these if you are interested?



It doesn't fold but the plug slides into the body.  2g, used rarely.

Most of them are pretty indestructable- since there's no moving parts they aren't harmed by water, shock etc.

The sliding one looks interesting, but i'm sorta hankering after one I saw an ex workmate use, it was about half the size of any i've seen before or since. Wish i'd asked her about it :(

I've been cruising eBay for the last little bit looking for flash drives, and there's quite a variety of them in your price range.  You could easily get a 4 or 8gb in that price range instead of a 2 gig model.

I had one of those and returned it.  It was very tiny, but also pathetically SLOW.

They have those in smaller capacity that are somewhat more affordable.
