Hey, if it works, it works... just don't use it to back up anything critical!

You know Sahara just rebrands third party stuff... so it may be good or it may be... not so good.

My trusty little 128 Mb Sahara Flash Disk is still running strong after 8 years.

Sahara flashdisks rock man

I have a 4 and 8 gig sahara, all are perfect.

Sahara has very good quality products these days. The case is not the greatest but it works well enough and its so flippin cheap.

8gig is a lot of data to entrust to a Sahara.

Got a 2gb Sahara for over a year now, no problems. Just so slow compared to Corsair and the likes.

 

[killadoob]

I can handle slow

The corsair 8gb and sahara 8 gig price diff is large , nothing like loading 8 gig of music for the car radio. Just waiting for the 16gb to come under 200 like the 8gb, maybe 6 months

 

[Dan C]

Go for a 32gb !!!

Check the specs on this one

My Sahara 4GB is suprisingly fast. Download speeds of between 15MB/s and 20MB/s (on a computer supporting USB 2.0 of course) and upload speeds of between 4MB/s and 6MB/s

I had a 128mb a few years ago... Worked fine for about a year and then it packed up. Windows doesn't recognise it's plugged in anymore

 

[The_Techie]

[sonxEr77]
