Is something wrong with this product?! Buy.com is discounting this by ~$120 from market value

Not really. I think most people prefer the non-mechanical flash drives for speed and reliability

I thought it was worth a try.Ordered one through Google checkout.
great way to move DVD rips to the daughters computer

 

[KFCrispy]

hmm i was saying something but i was incorrect. nvm..

 

[blacklit]

been interested in one of these. agree with old hippie about the speed. i think size is a factor too.

 

[PhoenixOrion]

i consider this a warm deal.

i think you could use google checkout and take $10 off (if that promotion is still going on)

I think it still works. But for those of you that don't know about it...

Its for new customers only! (I think)

Anyways, should I jump on this deal?

read reviews on amazon.com regarding this drive couple of months ago. Lot of complaints about drive failure after couple of months.

hmm i don't see any reviews on amazon.com for this product. perhaps it was their other models (6gb version)? well i didn't purchase the extended warranty... i hope it's ok :/

That is begging to be incorporated into a mod. Think of the things that could benefit from 8gb of storage.

I predict:
an 8gb mouse (with LCD, of course)
closed-ear headphones with integrated Ipod + power on right cup and 8gb storage on left cup
8gb case feet, and 8gb case casters (look, they're spinners!), RAID'ed
8gb volume knob
8gb desk coaster
