Given the specs for the USB 2 version are Up to 14MB/s read speed, up to 3MB/s write speed (emphasis mine), I'd say the £2 is worth it. I'm normally not fussed about write speed but even to me 3MB/s appears quite slow.

That's for 1. 10.69 is for 2

18MB/s write on the 3.0 is still pretty rubbish.

Compared to a sandisk extreme of 90MB/s maybe.... but 18 is acceptable, 3 is slooow
Opening post
USB 2.0, so not as fast as USB 3.0, but if what you're looking for is space ...
If that's not cheap enough, there's 2.2% Quidco and a further discount (I got 3%) if you sign up for their mailing list.
