QUOTE(rsangel @ Sep 13 2010, 10:33 AM) Yeah, but you spend more for a USB3.0 device and unable to unleach its power lol =_=" I'm currently satisfied with the transfer speed of USB3.0  of course if u spend this much on a device, might as well get a usb3.0-equipped board. Asus/Gigabyte/MSI have affordable boards (X58/P55/H55) with usb3.0 onboard.

QUOTE(saturn85 @ Aug 27 2010, 08:44 PM) is this the usual size for a 8gb thumb drive? it is a kingmax kd-01 8gb.  7.11gb seem like abit low.  marketing-related info uses 1000kb = 1MB, but in actual fact it's 1024kb = 1MB <-- which is why you always see slightly lower capacity. it also depends on other factors: file systems, etc. etc. info from Kingmax: http://www.kingmax.com/en_04_faq_content.asp?sn=3&q=10info from Kingston [page 2]: http://www.kingston.com/products/pdf_files/FlashMemGuide.pdf

QUOTE(everling @ Sep 14 2010, 09:11 PM) The problem here is that the drive has only 7,635,435,520 bytes. When it should have been around 8,000,000,000 bytes. you wont be getting 8,000,000,000 bytes or higher once formatted. different chipset controllers (with production tool) the variety of NAND flash gives you variation of sizes. if you compare the same production batch from the same company (same chipset, same nand flash), then all is the same. but if you compare kingston's and kingmax's pendrives, definitely it will be different <-- u dont know what chipset or nand flash they use.

QUOTE(Lacus @ Oct 25 2010, 06:54 PM) @cybpsych, the corsair voyager GTR is actually available here. They dont have ready stock due to it being expensive. You can actually try and ask Cycom if they are still able to get it order for you  yup, that's why it is not really available  not as easily obtainable unless i start pre-ordering or back-to-back order or importing it. nonetheless, ext hdd are getting huge and cheaper. a good replacement. my current 4GB Voyager GT is now faithfully servicing me as a quick "disk"
