32GB seems like the sweet spot. Not sure how good these are but am planning to grab one and find out.

$32 would be expensive.
You seem to have the 32Gb price wrong. I think it's $15, which makes your sweet spot claim a lot more logical :-)
yeah, thanks to icecreambandit for fixing my typo
are they any good? whats the read/write speed on them?
I'm thinking to use it as a quick storage for Wii U, so USB2.0 sounds perfect.It's right there in the image:
16GB: up to 80 Mbps
32GB and 64GB: up to 140 Mbps
I own these from a previous sale.
here's a quick test on a USB 3.0 port:
16GB write 9.32 read 54.4
32GB write 15.0 read 65.3
64GB write 21.7 read 66.2
Megabytes or megabits?
Megabytes / sec
lol! i can't believe you got negged, multiple times, for a legit technical question.
Either folks are such experts that they think it is painfully obvious… or so stupid that they don't understand, and don't want to understand, the question!
lol was wondering what the sweet spot was. in that case- SOLD
edit. shipping kills this, cant they just put it in a envelope and whack a stamp on itthen it goes missing in the mail and people start to blame all kinds of sht.
Got a 64GB from last sale
Benchmarks looked promising
And it is the best usb ive used so far
4K random reads / writes as well? I found some optimised for sequential reads/writes but quite poor for random reads/writes.
I used to have the blue/white patriot usb 2, before the spring mechanism broke.
Upgraded to Sandisk usb 3.0 extreme dongle, and writes at around 50mb/s.
Anything less than 10mb is frustrating, especially as size goes up.

according to the figure, there is a small black box attached to the usb driver, can anyone tell me what it is?
A dust cap.
Amazon Reviews of what I think is a very similar unit for those interested - seems to be quite positive:
http://www.amazon.com/Patriot-Stellar-Transfer-Smartphone--P…I got one of the 64gb from Amazon early this year. Good unit, works with nexus 5 and 7 (rooted).
You can use them on Android devices unrooted.
Just need to pay $3 for 'Nexus Media Launcher'.
But yes i would root the device over $3 :p
I've some patriot express USBs for a while and they seem pretty good. Ordered a couple of spares JIC though. :)
$15 shipping? Also, have to register to get shipping costs. Sux!
really
the usb itself cost 15$ for the 32GB version.
But, i have to pay another 12$ for the postage, wtf? I saw they have a WA store, however, i dont have a car.
Still, i dont think it would cost that much for this get delivered from NSW to WA…
Pay an ozbargainer to buy and send in an envelope. Say around $10
I just got one from the Balcatta store, could've got you one but they're closed for today :)
You should save for a car!
I've had a 64gb one of these for a few months now, works great with good speeds. Very handy for transferring files between my phone/tablet and work computers and vice versa
OK, who 'reserved' the last 32GB in stock at North Melb ???
I was 'forced' to get the 64GB to save having wasted a trip..didn't bother ringing becasue I've never seen them answer the phone, normally too busy serving cutomersit was me, sorry
lucky I'm a compulsive truth-teller; as I drove away I thought "hey I should have just said "yeah, that was me I rang earlier"
Wonder why suddenly so popular. Last time they had the stellar XT on sale when I turned up there were heaps of stock. Loving it though. Makes copying files a breeze and I use it to store videos I watch on the train.
Picked up a 32 gb at Cheltenham. Thx OP!
32gb out of stock at Clayton store :(
Just picked up a 64gb one from the Balcatta store in WA. Thanks Op!
There are a few 32GB ones left at the Pascoe Vale store. I copied 1.5GB of wallpapers to it (individual files and a tar of the directory). Speed was 16-18MB/s (MBP with USB 3). Seems a bit slow for USB 3
That's very odd and would most likely be your PC at fault.
I was getting 40-45MB/s on mine.
it seems 32 and 64 out at Nunawadding.
just another sale @ the mitcham store…..get less than a handful of anything on special.
woot ! my most popular post ever
Thanks guys
If your not aftet micro usb…Pny from Amazon….$ per GB is cheaper, and faster, but pny brand and not local and not micro, so this is very good too…

Edit damit tried to+ from the phone but accidently begged, now I can't plus…
It's a terrible feature of OzB, for mobile users. YEARS, and still not fixed.
Seems you've got bigger problems :D
Do dongles like these require their own apps on android, or will any file manager be able to see what's on them?
Any file manager app or teh default OS ones work fine with these.
Just need to format the USB teh first time you plug it into your tablet/phone.
Yes these work great. Perfect for tablets/mobile use for sharing/transferring data and the USB 3 transfer speeds are excellent for PC use.
Past two times they've had this sale they are always out of stock of the 64GB model.
just went to mitcham store, they dont have any
Ultimo store has plenty of 32GB and 64GB.
Ordered the 32 GB from Ultimo a few hours ago. Just received an email with the subject "Sorry out of stock" and in the text "Sorry out of stock", nothing else lol
I was there at 2. Maybe they went bothered with such a small sale?
Well no difference between in-store and online order. They just have to grab one, print the invoice and wait for me that I pick it up.
I ordered one on Sunday for pickup in store, but still no further notification from MSY
Price for 32GB should be $15, not $32.
