IFLASH DRIVE 64GB PORTABLE
(One of my favorites: GOgroove's adorable Pal Bot.) If you're not hung up on Bluetooth but want a speaker that's compact, rechargeable, and bass-boosted, Amazon has the Kinivo ZX100 Mini Portable Speaker for $18.99. Your thoughts?īonus deal: Portable speakers come in all shapes and sizes. First, are you rolling the dice with today's flash drives? Have you ever had one up and die on you? Second, are you better off with a portable (mechanical) hard drive, especially if you can get, say, a 1TB drive for around $70? These are considerably larger than flash drives, of course, but they also store considerably more data. Obviously that's small comfort if the drive dies on you, but to my thinking it points to greater reliability than a drive with one year of coverage (like the aforementioned PNY).
IFLASH DRIVE 64GB PLUS
On the plus side, the Patriot comes with a two-year warranty. "Drive died after a week," "Drive died after three months," and so on.įor example, Newegg also has a PNY 128GB USB 2.0 flash drive for $37.99, shipped (again after a mail-in rebate) it has similarly mediocre ratings thanks to sudden failures. Alas, that seems to be the unfortunate nature of the beast with current-generation flash drives, because if you check the reviews for other makes and models, you'll see similar complaints. The caveat here is that the couple of dozen or so Newegg user reviews are decidedly mixed, mostly owing to a higher-than-average failure rate. Even without the rebate, the Patriot drive is a pretty sweet buy at $31.99. That's one of the lowest prices I've ever seen for a 64GB drive, especially one that supports USB 3.0. You'll get your money back in the form of a prepaid Amex card. That rebate offer expires tomorrow, meaning you must have made the purchase by then. The larger flash drives, 64GB capacity, are larger.
IFLASH DRIVE 64GB SOFTWARE
That's after redeeming an $8 mail-in rebate ( PDF). Hard Drive The computer hard drive is where all the software is stored: the operating system (OS). Like this one: For a limited time, and while supplies last, Newegg has the Patriot Supersonic Pulse 64GB USB 3.0 flash drive for $23.99, plus 99 cents for shipping.
Consequently, they're awesome for expanding the available storage on devices like Ultrabooks, hybrid PCs, tablets, and even smartphones (by way of USB To Go).įor example, if you snagged one of those $169 or $179 Surface RT tablets the other day, you'll quickly find that only about half of its 32GB of storage is actually accessible. Flash drives are little more than external solid-state drives.
