These are not new but the falling price make them more desirable.

When you risk your data to cheap,  possibly false capacity unknowns on eBay and the like It is nice to know that these genuine Kingstons are now available at the £1 per GB level so why buy rubbish?

Conclusion

Notice the very respectable near 12MBytes/sec write speed and the 16+ MBytes/sec read speed.

You do not get this performance with the counterfeits that are built using low grade,  possibly reject,  memory components.

If your data means something to you,  is important enough not to be lost then buying cheap fake flash memory is a very foolish act.
