Nice price, I've been thinking about getting another for a while now. I'm more tempted by an 8GB jobby delivered for a tenner though :-

You have to add delivery to that £12.65. Recorded delivery makes it £14.94. Ordered one 
My laptop only has a 32gb drive; this'll make life much easier

It arrived today, seems a solid little thing. A quick test has it being written to at 1GB in 5 minutes, and reading from at 1GB in 1 minute, but that is on my clunky laptop which only has a 4200rpm disk that's stuffed to the gills. I don't know whether thats bad, or on par but either way I'm chuffed with the price for the capacity

The main point is summed up by "price for the capacity".
I use mine simply in place of burning DVD / CD's ... and just back up my important files (email, favourites, docs, family pics, etc) each week or so.
Stuff the speed - chuck it in to copy all your files before you go out/to be ... then when you get back its all done.
(even written a nice little script that does it all for me )
Glad you are happy with it - cant go wrong for a few fags and the odd pint in price.

Recieved my 16GB bad boy today.
It only reads as 15GB on the system though, oh well.
Is the end of DVD-R's for me? Pretty much.
