USB C Flashdrive

[Francois Marais]

Need some help.

Tried all the suppliers we can think of and even tried loot and takealot, but I can't find one.

I am looking for a

DTDUO3C/16GB or
DTDUO3C/32GB
flash drive. Why do I need this... Some idiot went and sold a MacBook that I need to set up to work for the client. Not lets think what I am going to need, just get it, with all the wrong connectors.

So anyone out there that foiund a SA retailer that can ship by today for delivery before Friday?

If there's a retailer in JHB we can collect there as well.

I'm pretty sure you can flash most standard flash drives to support the firmware you require.

Yeah... Not if the connector won't fit. USB-C is a new SOB on the block..

Can't get at Apple for some reason (not sure if it is to expensive as the supplier cost runs at R180 or something like that.

Thanks for all the help guys. Will see if we can adapt to the new standards being shoved...

Surely they must stock one of the adaptors? There are 3 (1x VGA + USB + Extra Charge) (1x HDMI, USB + Extra Charge) and the USB-C to USB cable - The client at some stage may want to connect their laptop to a projector - will need one of them.

New World at Menlyn.

They sell a pack of usb adapters can pretty much convert anything to anything.

Looks something like this

Only question is if they have stock.

Yeah, that is our one option (the one meter cable worries me a bit, will it support an external USB hard drive). So depending on the owners choice and pocket he must make the final decision.

Will see what the owner of the company decided. Not going to worry about the problems anymore. Not worth it.

Got my USB3.1 to USB C flash drive a few weeks back. Waited a long time for it. And now that I have it I do not use it
