      Thanks for the idea - now I just need a raspberry pi 2! ;)

      Was thinking of getting one for my primary school aged son - next birthday. Could be a good little learning project for us to work on together.

          Makes a pretty cool media player with openelec and few non official repo's.

    Did you return the $5 cards and then buy the $4 cards?

    • cryptos on 18/07/2015 - 20:37

    8GB is a little small. But the Class 10 is definately fast. Good for tinkering with lower-end mobiles and dash cams. AWESOME price per GB too!

      Yes, but package states 40MB/s read as opposed to this card which has 48MB/s plus the SD adapter anyway

  • fookos on 18/07/2015 - 23:10

    Does the microSD come with an SD adapter to fit an SD card reader?

      Yes, adapter does microSD SDHC & SDXC

      • Spending2Much on 19/07/2015 - 17:55

        Doesn't list adaptor on the orodyxt description as per link above?

          (But I'm sure the Officeworks servers can handle the traffic, they seemed to cope ok with the 5TB HDD deal)

          @Thrift: I've already placed an order with HN. It was inevitable OW would adjust their prices in line with HN. I'm not always a fan of HN and their service, but I generally prefer to make the purchase from the store that initiated the deal rather than the store that copycats. Either way, we are the winners with a price of only $4.

      If you haven't opened the package & still have your receipt, you can return them. Officeworks accepts change of mind returns. You can then buy them again @ $4 each.

      (Technically you can buy first & return them using the old receipt…)

      Try your local HN they are showing stock. Exact same stock and price.

  • BobD on 19/07/2015 - 13:10

    I just picked up 6 from OW Mornington VIC at $4 each. They still had a few more. The quality of the adapters ain't that great. I have an SD socket on my PC. The Samsung adapter slides in easily and holds the micro SD card well but these SanDisk adapters are tight in the same socket and they hold the micro card very loosely. Not all are like this. Two out of six were but they all worked OK.

  • mic180802 on 19/07/2015 - 14:18

    Went to Campbelltown one and had to point out to staff that they had the wrong item stocked on the shelve. They had the 8GB class 4 ones incorrectly placed, and when scanned came in at $9 each.

    I said to them, best remove the wrong stock from the wrong point. Annoyed cause I wanted 2.

  • WoodenSpoon on 19/07/2015 - 14:30

    Just got one from QV Melbourne, if i had to guess there's probably 20 on the shelf. Tag says $9.99 but scans at $4

    • Quinefer on 19/07/2015 - 17:49

      Couldn't find it hanging where all the cards are - did they put it somewhere else?

    Bought 2 thanks

    Perfect size and speed for a readyboost purpose on an old FIT-PC2 (ATOM Z530 and soldered 1GB RAM).
    For $4ea I'll use 2 x 8GB, hopefully it helps a little.

    If anyone interested here's a benchmark. I thought sequential writes might be slightly faster (20's) but for my application these are awesome cards. Random 4K Q1/Q32 IO's are faster than the hdd currently in said PC, though I'll be putting an SSD in soon.

    CrystalDiskMark 4.0.3 x64
    • MB/s = 1,000,000 bytes/s [SATA/600 = 600,000,000 bytes/s]

    • KB = 1000 bytes, KiB = 1024 bytes

      Sequential Read (Q= 32,T= 1) : 47.679 MB/s
      Sequential Write (Q= 32,T= 1) : 17.483 MB/s
      Random Read 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 9.359 MB/s [ 2284.9 IOPS]
      Random Write 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 2.552 MB/s [ 623.0 IOPS]
      Sequential Read (T= 1) : 40.050 MB/s
      Sequential Write (T= 1) : 22.859 MB/s
      Random Read 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) : 8.407 MB/s [ 2052.5 IOPS]

      Thanks for the idea.

      Recently upgraded my Asus 501 netbook from 1 Gb RAM to 2 Gb RAM because it was so slow to load up Win7. Cost was only $25 but this could have made a difference (it has a SD card slot/drive).

      Anyhow, being frustrated with it and also an XP laptop, I have since taught myself Puppy Linux and now all those slow machines are running Tarh pup installed as alternative boot - and loving it.

      Cheers.

        No worries :)

        I've installed both of mine as Readyboost drives formatted to exFAT 32MB cluster sizes. I haven't much experience with RB but the main reason one would resort to it is when you can't go beyond 1GB ram. With 2GB it's impact may be smaller and completely useless after you have 4GB RAM. It seems to have taken some load off the HDD already but I imagine it'll take a week or so before it has any impact.

        Just waiting out for a cheap-as-chips SSD now, the $61 128GB SanDisk from MSY would have been perfect but $14 shipping killed it for me. Amazon had one around $65 but I snoozed and missed it. It'll be EOL if SSD doesn't improve it coz I'm running Win 8.1 and it's DAMN SLOW! (I have another running Win XP and its much smoother) - I'm hoping Win 10 is smoother. It's for my child so I want to stick with Windows.

        • x d on 19/07/2015 - 21:10

          I will check my local OW tomorrow on the way home to grab some if there are some and give RB a go on my 2 Gb RAM netbook. I have to say it was a pain to use it as it was forever using the swap file.

          SSDs will transform any old machines but if it still has low RAM than I would think that the swap file use with Windows will still be a significant issue. Does RB help with reducing swap file use?

          I have to say since I played with Puppy Linux, I am transformed. All those machines I mention now has it as dual boot with the original windows on the HDD. Boot times to linux desktop is about 15-20 secs and everything works (haven't tried printing though, one of the machine is a 2001 laptop with XP running a Pentium M 1.6 GHz single core CPU with 1 Gb of RAM!). I only needed to install Firefox and Chromium so the whole install directory is about 1 Gigabyte! They are as smooth to use as my i5 8Gb RAM desktop.

          Tahr pup is also Ubuntu based so the options of getting useful software (looked but has not tried) is quite amazing.
          http://www.puppylinux.org/main/Download%20Latest%20Release.h…

          For those who is not familiar with Linux (like I was completely ignorant about 3 weeks ago), dual boot installation is quite straight forward via

          @x d:

          RE Readyboost and swap file, my non-technical answer would be yes, a bit.

          I've had only limited exposure to RB but it certainly lightens the load of the disk, storing frequently accessed files into it's own storage, it's similar to a page file but seperate. So I think it'll help a little but doesn't replace it, just takes some load away from it if that makes sense.

          I had a Dell Inspiron 8600 with those specs (XP, Pentium M 1.6, 1GB RAM) unfortunately it finally died last year after 10 good years of service.

          If the windows experiment fails with this mini pc I might give that Puppy Linux a go.

      Tried to go to OW Milton for this, with the web site saying that this store has this item in stock but when I got there there was nothing. Staff said it was sold out but checking the website in store still says there is stock. Maybe they got sick of price matching and hid them all😠.

      • eug on 20/07/2015 - 18:46

        Or someone stole them?

      • unity1 on 20/07/2015 - 18:47

        You still have time to order from HN as the deal ends tonight. If your local store does not have stock you can still buy on back-order.

        • x d on 20/07/2015 - 23:28

          Thanks for the thought but it was on the way home from work. To detour out to HN would take me to much time and negate the savings. Will look out for other deals in the future.

          Cheers.
