No 16GBs? And the linked review by SathyaNaidu shows lesser perf than the GT. Couldn't see the image (having issues with imageshack) but he mentions it's at par with a GT at best! Confused re: the claims in the other thread!

 

[Nemesis_41]

^^ that thread is OLD.. he compared them to the SLC NAND chips ..

 

[Naga]

Ok, 16GBs?

 

[Nemesis_41]

EDIT:dunno yet.. plus its the weekend so no info.. will let you know on Monday

 

[Chief-Techie]

would be interested in the 16gb one with the pricing is decent

 

[xxESvenomxx-SoM]

If the price is decent i might be intrested:hap2:

 

[Nemesis_41]

@Venom: will pm ya on yahoo

@chief-techie: will pm you when i get the price

 

[sathyanaidu]

Thats the best part, the 2gb then costed 900~ bucks.. and the corsair non gt for 2gb was the similar pricing.. so it's basically the best performance flash drive available at half or maybe less than half that of the GT's price

 

[Nemesis_41]

true.. VFM!

I have the Buffalo 2 Gb drive, it is very fast, it takes 28 seconds only to copy a 700 mb movie file.

For more info check out this link Review - Buffalo 2 GB Usb Flash Drive

Intrested in 8 Gb, if anyone here lives near lamington road, can you please find out if we get 8gb buffalo there and the cost.
