Forum user Durango360 spotted a decent flash drive deal! Over at Staples, the Lexar 64GB S70 USB Flash Drive (White) is half price, on sale for $39. This Hi-Speed USB drive is worth the investment if you constantly have large music files, videos or photos that need to be backed up or transferred. For peace of mind, it comes pre-loaded with advanced data protection features (Secure II Software) and data encryption options, so you'll be able to store and secure your files safely when you're on the go.

The reviews at Staples.ca are favourable with an average rating of 4.4/5. This Lexar Jump Drive comes with a 2-year limited warranty. If you're interested, the offer is available online and in stores until April 10. Staples offers free shipping on online purchases over $50 (before taxes).

- Funny how Staples just follows Lexars lead and doesn't bother to state the USB Class.
  
  If you go to the Lexar webpage it only says High Speed USB and if you look for product specifications at Lexar same deal no USB Class.

  Newegg shows USB 2.0

  With 64gb capacity I'd wait for a deal on USB 3.0 but that is just me

  HighSpeed USB is USB 2.0. SuperSpeed USB is USB 3.0.

- just for the sake of discussion, I had bought 2 lexar jumpdrive s70 from walmart when it was 8gb for $8. It was slow and they both died within a month of very very light use.

  Same thing happened to 2 16GB we got from Wal-Mart. Lasted about 2 weeks each.

- Maybe Walmart got a huge batch of defective units? Guess its YMMV

- Half price until Apr 10th. Not a bad deal if you need lots of USB storage:

  FS currently has it on sale for $49.99 ($40 off).
  
  Apparently slow according to this older thread:

  Mine's still working...and I'm using it at work pretty often. The push slider cracked after a couple months of use though.
  
  With the slow transfer speeds, I don't think a 64GB version is going to be very useful unless you don't mind waiting.

  BUT
  
  I also bought the 8gb drive from walmart and 2 out of the 3 went bad before 45 days.The third one is not bad but its only had one transfer and is sitting in closet.

- I guess it's something to do with Walmart and USB drives as my gf once bought one of these from Walmart
  http://ncix.com/products/?sku=65561&...s&promoid=1263 (don't know if the link will work, seems very slow for me... it's a 32 gig Retail+ usb 2.0 key). Every time I tried putting more than about 10 gigs on it, it would take forever to try and copy the files and it would eventually fail. If I only tried to put a few small files on it everything was ok. From what I read on the net this is a sign of counterfeit/cheap usb key.

- Lexar USB sticks are very bad products, we bought 3 of them last December and they all died within the month. Very bad transfer speeds also.

- I have the 32gb version and it's been working great for me the entire school year (use it for computers courses).

  I bought 4 x 8GB couple of years ago and all of them are still fine.

  The Verbatim 32GB from last Saturday's Staples Doorcrashers has more than double the write speeds:
