I got the same deal. I know it isn't the best, but it is pretty damn good for $20. I wonder what the copper in it is worth? haha

Is the body squishy? It looks like it might be. In that case you might want to try a pushbutton type switch. That way you can just push somewhere and have it turn on instead of having to find a place to mount the switch where you can get to it.

The switch can fit anywhere. Incomplete circuit=no light. Maybe a couple pill style batteries would be enough to power it. I don't know specifics about what to use, or where to find a holder for the batteries, but good luck.

Yeah... those thermal pads are there to make up the difference in height between the heatsink and the memory chips... That could definitely have something to do with it.

Could we get a sticky on this? It seems to come up alot.

Large amounts of expensive memory, new controller chips, relatively low production... all adds up to high prices.

and putting a big hole in the side of a case that is designed to be quiet kinda defeats the purpose... Do you have heat problems? From what I've heard, that case runs pretty cool.

I don't own the drive, but I ordered 2 of them for my new computer... I'll let you know, but in the mean time, I'd probably go with the prevailing sentiment.

You aren't going to get the same bandwidth out of a usb drive that you would out of a ssd... all flash memory isn't created equal, and as has been said, the writes involved in most operating systems would burn out a flash drive very quickly. There is a reason it isn't a popular thing to do...

$200 off of a 40d? $300 off of a 5d? Thats pretty freaking good. There aren't many lenses on there and they don't stack, but this is the price you pay for instant rebates.

A rep from adorama answered the same question earlier on another forum. You can use the packing slip that they put in the box. It will be from where ever you bought it. I bought from adorama (through amazon) because they had the cheapest price I could find, and if you take the rebate in the...

Sandisk is running a stackable rebate program on their Extreme III, Extreme IV and Extreme Ducati brand flash memories. This is going on at many different retailers and can knock the price/gb for a 4gb Extreme III CF to $7 and change or less. You can get a rebate on up to three different...
