256GB Worth Of Flash Memory Available From £100.66

Flash memory has never been so low and now you can grab 256GB worth of flash-based storage for as little as £100.66; as part of its Monday Madness, online retailer MyMemory has dropped the price of its 32GB USB flash drive to £13.98 including delivery.

Buy eight of those and use the voucher code PAYPAL at checkout for a ten per cent discount and bring the price of the bundle to £100.66.

The USB drive is a bog standard model with a swivel cap, USB 2.0 compatibility, an LED indicator and one year warranty. It has a claimed Read/Write speed of 10MBps and eight of them should have enough capacity to store 64 hours worth of Full HD 1080p video content streaming at 9Mbps.

Using a 10-port USB hub (like this £6 one), you should be able to combine all eight into a massive 256GB virtual hard disk drive (or a Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks - RAID as it is known), a doddle on Windows 7 and Windows 8.

The end product will be slower than a traditional solid state disk, but tests done across two USB drives using PassMark PerformanceTest 7 did yield on average a 75 per cent improvement in transfer rates.
