    I just bought that drive as for 30 shipped (shipping is really only 2 dollars). I think its a pretty good deal. Are they pretty good with warranties? I have patriot ram in my desktop but never had an issue with it. I had a kingston drive die and they replaced it for me and i only had to pay shipping both ways.

    I am not too worried about the speed as i would rather have a slow small drive than a big fast one. But i can run a speed test on it when i get it.

    Cool, and post the results. Use HD Tune, it gives you nice screenshots visuals.

    Better deal than my 4gb corsair voyager Gt. It was $64 including shipping.

    When I bought the drive, I found nbr, and quickly realized the Xporter drive is cheaper and faster.
