Noticed this deal at Boots in Hammersmith today whilst getting my (last) O2 Priority £1 meal. Didn't need a USB but bought this cos it was so cheap. Seems to cost £12.99 at Argos and £6.99 at Currys. Not sure if other stores have this discount, but cashier scanned the barcode on the back of pack (rather than the clearance barcode) and it discounted this item anyway.

You'll have to go in store, I went to the one in Elephant & castle and they had some, including a pack of 32gb single and double for clearance. I went to the ones in Oxford street and Walworth Road, they had none, so gotta just check any boots for them in clearance shelf.

These Sandisk Ultra Fit drives get very hot when running at USB 3.0 speeds - to the extent that they can burn your fingers if you happen to touch the metal part. Try for yourself - make sure that it is operating at USB 3.0 speeds and then copy a large file to or from the drive - you'll be in for a shock ! Think what it might be doing to that host port it is connected to !
Although operating at USB 2.0 speeds they do seem OK.

I have three of these, and my findings are the same. I can't say I have tried them in a USB 2 port, but there's no way I could leave this plugged into a device for an extended period of time. Really they have been useless. I wish I was exaggerating, but they feel like they are cooking themselves each time I used them. I wouldn't trust them to survive the temperatures that they reach.

Out of curiosity, I passed by the hammersmith store this morning to see if there were any left. There 4 or 5 of these USBs left on the hanging shelf when I got mine yesterday. There were none left this morning.
