Gotta love the bit in bold, no details, it's just got to be 'new' to ensure 'optimal' performance.
Not that I'm here to endorse Sandisk at all but they're who I trust when it comes to flash memory. Got two SD cards from them for DSLRs, nearly opted to pick up an SSD from them before picking a Samsung drive. Saying that though you should find something suitable from other brands. E.g. This Transcend drive has speeds rated at: TS16GJF700 USB 3.0 Read 75MB/s Write 12MB/s, only comes in at £8.84
That's on USB 3 there but the bottleneck is the device so that's what it is capable of. On USB 2 the bottleneck will be the standard. The theoretical max on USB 2.0 is 60MB/S.
If you're still worried about bandwidth and want something to push USB 3.0 speeds on your PC (should you have ports) then I'd say pick up this drive for £20. If I was buying one today it would be my pick. It's massive overkill as it's USB 3.0 but as can be seen you're not going to have bandwidth issues.

I agree, you can pretty much always trust Sandisk. I have a 5 year (I think?) old 2 gb USB from Sandisk and it's still going strong!http://www.theverge.com/2013/7/2/448...tall-usb-drive

Any console boys playing GTA5? How is it?
Did anyone else notice the nice timing for shambolic journalism?
Navy Yard shooting (media then resorts to blaming games for the violence in following days) = 16th September
GTAV released = 17th September

I really like it!
Great atmosphere and the story is fantastic
It has been in my Xbox 360 non stop

Just finished "The Swapper" on PC. Amazing Sci-Fi puzzle game. Only three out of the many puzzles I had to look up, was doing my head in! Definitely can recommend it! @Katadunkass http://www.gamespot.com/the-swapper/
