Excellent high speed USB with 3 months of free music + 5 year Warranty looks good.'Transfer a full-length movie in less than 40 seconds' Same price in Amazon too. Ho Ho Ho

Follow up on speed: the specs say under 40 seconds to write a full length movie to the stick and defines a movie as 1.2GB. Lets take them at their word and find out from that how long it takes to fill the whole device. You get 119GB useable space and being charitable lets say it takes 35 seconds per film:
119 GB / 1.2GB = 99.17 films
99.17 films x 35 seconds = 3470.95 seconds to fill
3470.95 seconds / 60 = 57.85 minutes to fill entire drive
SNORE
Unless you don't mind doing some knitting whilst things copy to the drive I would recommend never buying any Sandisk ultra sticks. Their Ultra SD cards are a bit humdrum as well. The Extreme stuff is perfectly fine!
Exception to the Ultra-is-bad rule: their Ultra SSDs are fine.
It depends on what is everybody's requirement dude. You cannot just generalize to say that ''most people getting 32GB for cinema''..what will happen if I need a 64GB/100GB on a single stick? I take your point but this is an open forum and your comments are respected.

What the description doesn't say is that being under the Ultra brand the write speed is rubbish. If you need fast read AND write Sandisk "Extreme" are the ones to get. Currys' "up to" 100 meg description isn't helping.

Do these sticks get hot when plugged in/in use?

Reviews are not concerning. The Grixx 128Gb has some comments of getting heating up in reviews

Correct. I found them amazing quality. I may miss them after 3 months though.
Thanks. This post was the start of it. I have been to a couple of Sainsbury's for other reason and looked for them. The staff was not aware of this deal at all and thats why I looked around to find this. Thanks any way. Looks like if it was in some stores, they are all sold out.

No, wasn't man's eye but "ublock origin" was the cause. Anyway thanks for pointing it out as I wouldn't have spotted it.

Can't see the Tidal offer, only see free cinema tickets for the 32gb model.

If they have any left, they will be £17.50 - I got one last week.
