These normaly cost $10 each, so it's getting close to a 50% discount.
Dick Smith are selling the same product for $50 and they may or may not price match.

You're probably right. Their price matching policy depends on whether it's a full moon or not.
From their T&Cs:
- Price must not be below our cost price.
For a $50 product they'll state their cost price is ~$30.
Office works - Toshiba 8GB for $3.80

Or get 10 Sandisk for $35 (look at the bulk buying price)
Beat me by 4 min
The links you've posted aren't for USB3 drives though?
Top one is only USB 2. I couldn't find details for the second link.
These are usb 2.0, I own several of those and it's super slow
That's a negative on the deal ghost rider.

As above, the links you posted are not for USB 3 drives.
Are they USB 3?
Fair call - I missed that :)
Well, then you could revoke your negative before the community does it for you…
You can also retract your neg instead of waiting for people to neg your comment
Hang on, those drives are USB 2.0 - the HN ones are USB 3??
That's a reasonable difference.
Just tried to find out the read/write speeds for this drive. On their website it appears that it's only the 64GB & 128GB sizes that are USB 3? http://www.emtec-international.com/en-us/C410-usb-flash.
Right, that's the impression I got too: 8GB only comes in USB2. To make it more confusing, the HN picture shows a mixed capacity pack, which I'm assuming is wrong.
I just went off the HN description which is USB3. The link you found is for mixed capacity usb2 which is a different product. I'm not saying you're wrong, but that link doesn't help one way or another.
I'm not saying it's right or wrong mate. I just looked up the C410 Emtec that HN says they are. Knowing the flogs at HN, I just assume they are wrong :).
These are not the same as the ones DS are selling http://www.dicksmith.com.au/usb-hard-drives/emtec-flashdrive…. Note the ones DS are selling are all marked with an 8 ie 8GB, these are maked 2,4,8,16,32 which represent their respective GB capacity.
Yeah I noticed that too. The photo HN are using must be wrong.
Just a head's-up: if they're the same Emtec as DSE- I've had really bad luck with them. I bought them for spares for me & the kids & the failure rate was pretty high (as-in, more than 1/2 died within a few months). By comparison, the Lexar & Sandisk keep going for years (for me). Even my old 4GB Toshiba is still going strong & I bought it years ago & use it all the time for data transfers.
FYI
DSE won't price match.
