I came across this deal too. Was almost about to buy it till I realized I don't (still) have any USB 3.0 capable machines at home. Decided to wait it out, let the prices drop further and jump in when I get a USB 3.0 capable laptop/desktop :oops:

Won't these 3.0 drives have backward compatability to machines with 2.0 ports?

Got this pendrive today, it worked for 10 mins and died when tested on CrystalDiskMark. Just ridiculous.

The speed as tested on USB 2:

Write (single file) - 17-18MB/s
Read (single file) - 30-31MB/s

^Got my refund. Never buying any Strontium Jet again. You could try your luck, the speeds are very good though.

I bought one from infibeam for Rs.550/-. The build quality is very good. There is a blue action LED. Luckily it is not too bright. I tried a 2.2GB file after formatting the drive with NTFS. The speed results with TeraCopy.

USB 2.0 - W - 16MB/s 2.23 min R - 23MB/s 1.20 min

USB 3.0 - W - 18MB/s 1.33 min R - 38MB/s .59 min

It can be seen that there is no obvious write speed gain using usb3.0 port. My kingston 8GB usb2.0 has a speed write of only 6MB/s and read speed of 17MB/s. For the given performance this is a very VFM product. Now I hope it will run without problems.

^Hmm.. Mine died when I was using CrystalDiskMark software. But you are getting less speed than me :S

I read your post before placing the order and I decided to give it a try. I didn't use any bench mark softwares as all I'm interested is in real time speed and the 16GB space to copy my movie downloads.
