[Twistid 5,000+ posts]

just snagged it up, bnib, the specs say it runs off less than 100 mA

my pioneer (deh-p6900ub) says it provides about 500 mA so im hoping this will allow me to never buy CD's again //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

what an attractive exterior on that drive...

I have a 16 that I paid $80 for earlier this year, it's a Kingston data traveler or some stuff, pretty nice...I actually just got (2) 8gig sandisk cruzer drives from staples for $25 each...staples always has the good deals on that stuff...

If OCZ is name brand, then yes.

That's good, no, great bang for the buck in terms of storage size plus free shipping!

I hope it works out. See if there are any reviews to let you know what problems, if any, have been encountered. Newegg.com seems to have a pretty decent amount of reviews posted up.

To Fargof: Thumbs up on OCZ!

I just picked on up myself. For 30 I don't really care what it looks like, so long as its big enough to transfer my **** collection over to. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Well-known scam on Ebay is selling flash drives that aren't the size they say... they use some software to make it READ as if it's a larger size, but it really isn't.

No idea if this is the case here or not, but I'd be suspicious, personally.

theres 5 positive feedback's left for it, so i hope its ok....

theres only 2 left in stock though!

The most you can lose is $30 and with the positive feedback to show people are happy, odds are fine you'll do fine. Buy it and let us know how it works out. We can all laugh at your misery later if everything goes to hell in a handbasket but methinks you will be laughing all the way to the bank about the good deal you got!

Every brand is a name brand //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

The only con I can see is that the transfer rate is pretty low (10mbps).
