pRICE,
I'd say Slickdeals is wrong but amazon.com is known to change its price in a very short amount of time. It's $44.99 now, which is more than the sickdeals listing but lower than yesterday during the day. I'll have to contact amazon to issue me a credit for the difference since I haven't even received the one I ordered yesterday for just under $50.00.

It was dead last night when I checked.

When I posted it was the sale price. That changed pretty quickly. Hot deals go cold quickly.

I'm partial to San Disk, but what about this one?

My wife could clone her whole Macbook Air. Can you boot from this?
Edit: I do now see the tremendous read/write differences...even thought it's USB 3.0.

Yeah, not all USB 3 flash drives are made the same.
the Sandisk Extreme is the king among flash drives -- its R/W speeds crushes everything else out there. several tests out there.
$35 was a sweet price

jdc,
The phrase I heard was that it is literally an SSD on a stick. Even $50.00 is a decent price. $35 is a great price! That's why I went for a 64gig model instead of a 32gig model. Unlike other USB sticks, I'm near positive I can turn this one into a emergency boot drive for my machines. Since it's 64 gigs, I could, in theory, make two partitions - one for my Mac Pro (now at my office) and one for my new Macbook Pro.

I will keep a lookout for this model's sale price.

I'm going to keep an eye out too.
It was about $45 this morning at AMZN even after the deal was dead. I put two in my cart but didn't checkout because it wasn't going to ship for 8-9 days (and I don't really NEED one now anyway...but...)
Now even that's gone.
