| 387804 | 2005-09-12 03:03:00 | Me wife is looking for some - where will I find the cheapest? I've looked around but they seem to be all the same price sarel |

| 387805 | 2005-09-12 03:08:00 | Are you sure you really want the cheapest? Sometimes you do get what you pay for. I saw one (bought from the wellknown computer store Pak'n'Save) with a USB connector which was the PCB, not a connector. It lasted all of a week before it died. PriceSpy (www.pricespy.co.nz) will help with price comparisons. |

| 387807 | 2005-09-12 03:20:00 | Thanks guys. I've got NO knowledge of them - don't even know how it should look and the wife wants to buy one TODAY. We will start at the WH? sarel |

| 387808 | 2005-09-12 03:39:00 | Have a look at the plug on a USB cable before you start. The under $20 units on PriceSpy seem to be mostly "RunDisk" brand; that's the one I saw. It had a "plastic and PCB" connector. A real USB connector looks different, and more durable. The prices listed range from $18.32 to $436. I doubt if you want a 4GB one. ;) |

| 387812 | 2005-09-12 05:34:00 | I'd avoid RunDisk like the plague. (Mine didnt last a week) I got me a Seitec which has been with me for 4 months without fail |
