Looks like a good deal if you want the Kingston brand and 5 year warranty! 32GB drive is $80 shipped.
Static Ice for 32GB Kingston flash says lowest price is $89.95 through APUS, but when you click through it comes up as $105. MSY have them at $103
Generic 32gb flash (eg: Apacer) are ~$69 at MSY (selected branches), but otherwise around the $90 mark.
16Gb is $35 shipped at Topbuy, Static Ice says cheapest is APUS $39.95 plus shipping, but otherwise around $45.
Generic (Supertalent) is $34 plus shipping through Netplus, otherwise ~$45 for other brands.
Not sure about the read/write speeds of each brand, perhaps someone more knowledgable can add that extra info in ;)
Anyone deal with topbuy before, are they reliable and fast shipping?
kaikor, i have bought from them before, only once, but they are reliable. cannot remember how long it took to get my item.
i'm very tempted to buy one.
THX! just too tempted and has been desperately need a 16GB for a while, so just bought one for $34.95 all up and hope supplying my cc details is safe, coz i never ever trust doing that on the net, this is my ever first time …
kaikor, as teaearlgrey said below, topbuy is reputable and provide fast shipping so fear not :)
I have ordered lots of random things from them over the past 18 months.
Very reliable + prompt shipping + 5% cash-back via MBC.

what's this 5% cash back via MBC? what's MBC?
"MoneyBackCo is the original Australian 100% moneyback/cashback website…"

Buckscoop is also similar.

They appear to be older models which will have slower read/write speeds. http://www.kingston.com/flash/dt100.asp
Good price if you aren't in a hurry.
It looks exactly like one I have.
In case it helps anyone :4GB, 17MB/s read, but only 3.5MB/s write.
I was hoping to save on shipping by getting people at work to join in on a group purchase, but looks like they're $5 per stick no matter how many you buy. Still relatively good buy even with shipping though.
yep that what i found out, a few of my colleages want to buy too and hope to save postage, but nah … not this case … still ended up $5 per stick …
16GB all gone …
Kingston USB, LOL. I bought one and it is so slow to write that my cheapo no name brand is 4x faster.
Currently I like my Corsair Flash Voyager and in particularly my Sandisk Cruzer (they are much faster).
1) VERY SLOW
2) They charge $5 per each USB for postage. I guess it's fair, since it works out same price as staticice but with free shipping..
not a bad price for the 32gb
