I'm after a Pen Drive. I want it to be USB3 and have a capacity of 32GB. It will be used for transferring movies and TV shows from my PC so that I can watch them on my TV.

I've had a browse and Corsair do a decent one. However, I'd appreciate input from others who already own such drives. Budget is £40 max.


Thanks.
 
pny 32gb and kingston are good drives,work well on my tv,if your telly supports wifi your better off streaming them from your pc,saves all the hassle and time sticking them on usb sticks
 
My TV does support WiFi but, I need to buy the dongle from Samsung to get it to work. So I thought I might as well buy a Pen Drive instead which will be more multi functional.

ahh depends what samsung you have,i have ue32d6100,and the cheaper hama wifi dongle works great,doesnt work on some models though

usb sticks work fine but they are slow at writing data,around 5-8mb per second which is a pain

i use free tversity on my pc to stream films to tv
 
I have the Samsung UE46D5000. Should have came with the dongle tbh considering the price I paid. :(

I understand that USB3 Pen Drives can write data far faster than USB2. Something like 40MB. So I'm working on getting something along those lines for under £40.
 
i understand,im just saying as ive been through all that and streaming is much easier

the hama stick will work on your tv its the newer 2012 models it wont work on,its £19 on a rainforest site,if i were you id go down that route but if not a pny 32gb usb pen are the best value imo or a kingston data traveller,idk about usb3 sticks as i dnt use them
