64 GB SanDisk Extreme SDCZ80-064G USB3 Flash Drive $50.95 Delivered @ eBay

Hi all,

First off, thank you to the OzBargain community this place has contributed to many an impulse buy and subsequent regret. This site is more addictive than crack/meth/dope/my little pony/[insert addictive poison] it's hard to believe it's legal! ♥

There have been a large number of USB Flash drives deals posted in the past couple of weeks but alas none for the 64GB Sandisk USB 3.0 Extreme (SDCZ80) so I did a bit of digging and the cheapest Australian stock I could find is for $50.95 on ebay. This includes free postage from NSW. The seller has 99.7% positive feedback and appears to be based in Paramatta.

This is the new version of the SDZC80 which reads at up to 245 MB/s and writes at up to 190 MB/s as opposed to the old model which only reads at up to 190 MB/s.

From the Wirecutter:

"The old version of our pick (labeled 190MB/s) had a tendency to outperform its quoted read speeds, so SanDisk quietly updated the drive to reflect those speeds. In our tests, the old drive and the new model (labeled 245MB/s) are about equal across the board, but the newer model has an edge in sequential and 4K write speeds."

Speed Benchmarks:
Not sure if this is old/new model though - either way its flapping fast!

• Staticice is $54.45 from ARC Computers (though the website lists its read speed as up to 100 MB/s - typo? but probably old model)
