    Time to upgrade my portable storage to USB 3.0 :)

    Hello!

    It's time I upgraded my cheap, plastic and falling apart USB 2.0 flash drives with some shiny new USB 3.0 ones.
    I've had a browse online but can't seem to find anything that looks like a really good deal. Unusually, Scan doesn't seem to have much of a selection.

    Do you guys have any advice? I'm looking for a 32GB and a 16GB... With at least the 32GB one being made of metal.

    Cheers!

    Hi

    Kingston DataTraveler Elite 3.0 16GB and 32GB get good reviews, reputable maker with 5 year warranty. Best prices I could find were £10.82 and £24.29 from www.jamdup.com but probably worth a bit more of a search round.

    Regards

    John
