Dox Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 64gb should last a few years :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Thats what I though when I got her the 4GB stick about 3 years ago at the time huge. Now puny. In 3 years time will it 64GB be small. But yes it should do very nicely for her, she can now take heaps of photo's with her that are on DVD's.

Dox Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 yeah, I know exactly what you mean, I remember when I first bought a 1 gb one for £40 (an upgrade from using floppy disks), I was chuffed with it, then a couple months down the line 2gb came out for like £20, I was depressed (bout 5 years ago) Not unreasonable to think in 3 years time ssd will be a norm in laptops then.

Bill Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Man that is slow. My 64 GB solid state camcorder averages about 20 MB/s over USB. One of my flash drives is even a little faster I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my flash drives is even a little faster I think. All USB Flash drives are slow on my Machine for some reason. Hard drives work fine get over 20MB/s from them. Probably a chipset issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head on over here for my thoughts on this device Kingston DT200 64GB USB review Could well be fake/oversize--you must use this tool to test its real capacity: http://www.heise.de/software/download/h2testw/50539 It has English interface option.
