Title: 128 GB PNY Flash drive works great with AmigaOS 4 & MorphOS
Post by: SysAdmin on May 24, 2014, 08:12:18 PM

I needed a large flash drive to copy data from a AmigaOS 4 machine to a MorphOS machine so I grabbed a 128GB thumb drive at Best Buy for $59.99. I had not realized that Flash drives had gotten so large and so cheap. Best Buy told me I just missed it on sale for &40. Anyone else finding deals like this?

Haven't tried that. How's does Apple get away with selling 16GB iPad's for $499 when I bought a 128GB Flash drive for $60? Minimum size iPad's should be 32GB.

I don't know. I think of apple as recipe company that likes sue companies a lot.
 I still have a Lexar 512 MB thumb drive.
 
 I find good deals on thumb drives a lot. Newegg is a company I buy a lot of computer stuff from. On most of their deals there is always have thumb drives on sale. (I tend to call flash drives thumb drives.)
