256GB USB stick

256 GB USB Flash Drive / Stick - Great Gift!! Brand New | eBay UK

i maybe have been under a rock, but i've personally never seen 256GB in a USB stick for such a cheap price. madness.

usually you see 4, 8, 16 maybe 32's but yeh. thought i'd post it incase others didn't know just like me

**ryan1087** · 11-04-11, 08:24 PM

Never seen 256GB either!? But at £11 it just leaves me to be suspicious.

eonbar · 11-04-11, 08:28 PM

my house mate from Malaysia said they always used to buy kingston stuff and it was always dirt cheap. there's quite a few UK sellers tho, all different around the same price.

like you tho, it seems too good to be true? madness

Jon · 11-04-11, 08:39 PM

Looking at that auctions sellers feedback, to me it suggest the seller mainly sells clothes/accessories and has never done computer hardware, so I think its a case of a hacked ebay account, I remember something similar being sold by the same sellers selling those portable harddrives for cheap a while back

eonbar · 11-04-11, 08:43 PM

yehhhh. going via kingstons official page to one of their authorized retaiilers its more like £600. ha PC Upgrader

still, never knew you could get them at ALL!

gowthamj · 11-04-11, 10:31 PM

Wow.. this is new to me too.. but the price seems very dodgy to me.

**rider900** · 11-04-11, 10:54 PM

Wow never knew storage could be that big in a USB stick! Would be great for Uni but gonna listen to others saying it's a scam and not buy it.

Ojaser6 · 11-04-11, 11:25 PM

Seen a 256GB before but never that cheap!! I think it's a scam...

Wow he's sold a lot! The price is really weird though - can it be THAT cheap?

Kfchris1 · 12-04-11, 07:43 AM

I have one!! I got one about 4 weeks ago, i paid £18 for mine!! +£2 delivery!!

(it acually comes with 245gb of memory) But the guy i bought my one from had 100% feedback and sold computer accessories. Il try and find him again and put a link to his ebay shop, At that price its quite slow transfuring data across, i also have a 1TB external which is VERY quick at transfuring things over!!

**MJ10** · 12-04-11, 08:09 AM

Portable external?!

I can't believe there's actually a 256gb for £15ish! When they were first around a year or two back they were £hundreds!

I need a mini fast portable USB large gb size harddrive... If anyones got suggestions?!

mcgrou · 12-04-11, 08:44 AM

@MJ: Seagate FreeAgent Goflex, or the Lacie Rugged are probably your best bets

**MJ10** · 12-04-11, 09:44 AM

See I'm quite a fan of this: Freecom 35190 1TB USB 2.0 Mobile Drive XXS: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

Didn't realise they did a 1TB version now! And so cheap!!

I like the GoFlex slim though, very snazzy!

Kfchris1 · 12-04-11, 10:59 AM

This is the one i have - 1TB External

The only problem with them is they have there own plug socket. So not the easiest thing to take around with you (hence why i bought the 250gb usb dongle aswell)

Btw... it's hence or why, never hence why!!

Found it yet? Would be great if you did

Still wondering if the £15 256GB stick is a scam.

Kfchris1 · 12-04-11, 02:15 PM
