Kogan 32GB OTG USB Flash Drive $8.16 Delivered @ Kogan eBay

390

UPDATE: Price updated to $19 on website, though it is $8.16 on its ebay store.

USB by Kogan. There we go, I said it.

An USB i guess for those who can't find stock in the Woolworths deal?

I do not guarantee that:
-Read/Write speeds will be anywhere near acceptable (if there are actually speeds in the first place)
-This USB would have a long lifespan (if it even works in the first place)

But hey, at least this makes a great gift to your friends (enemies)
(if you even have friends in the first place)

    Made by Kogan!
    Thanks OP, but no thanks, I'd rather suck the snot out of a gorilla's nose until the back of his head caves in…

    • +5

      I'd do anything to see that.

      • +1

        Agree. Kogan don't make anything.

    • +1

      lol…

      I'd rather say "No thanks" and walk away.

    Dude, don't ever go into sales. You'll starve to death.

      There's a snake in your specs.

      • Sssneaky.

        • Sssslytherin….

    • +1

      These are maximum specs..

      i.e. the device will not go faster than this..

      Thats a gimme.. what are the minimum specs?

    • yuck, USB 1 speeds basically. almost unusable

      • +1

        Nope.

        USB 1.x has low-speed and full-speed. USB 2.0 added high-speed. USB 3.0 added SuperSpeed.

        Full-speed was 12 Mb/s. Megabits per second. That translates to 1.5 MB/s, Megabytes per second. Lowercase b is bits, uppercase B is bytes. 8 bits to a byte in modern usage, though encoding and error checking could mean it takes more than 8 bits on the wire to transfer one data byte.

        So, no, 12 MB/s is far above what 1.x was capable of.

        For comparison, high-speed signal rate is 480 Mb/s or 60 MB/s. However, after accounting for overheads, like encoding and the fact that it's half-duplex, the effective data rate is around 280 Mb/s or 35 MB/s for mass storage.

    thats a pretty good price!

    • +7

      if you want to transfer your files in slow motion

      • Yes, yes I do. I was born to be mild.

  • +3

    I WARN YOU ALL, i've bought steam mop, grill, wall hanger and all dead on arrival.

    • How the hell can a wall hanger and grill be DOA?

      • Wall hanger snapped? lol grill bars bent? I dunno :P

      • Was already used for a hanging

      • Haha. Good point. It was electic Grill. Wall hanger not doe, just didn't work.

    • I've bought their steam mop & had no problems with it.
      I'm not saying I think all their stuff is good quality, but of the few things i've bought from Kogan I haven't had any major issues yet.

      I've probably had the mop close to a year and use it every 2 months. So it's not used a lot but still working fine.

    • Hi Mr Unreliable. Hopefully you've had a chance to speak with our team and have these instantly resolved.
      If there are any issues still, please send us a private message with your relevant Order IDs and we'll get right on it.

      • I've received store credit for 2 items which was pretty fast, but the third item i'm still waiting for store credit (been 3 weeks and 3 emails)

        • Hi Mr Unreliable - we intend to be much more reliable than that!
          Could you please send us a private message with your Ticket# and we'll chase it up for you ASAP.

  • That's Kogan for you

    An USB

    Sounds so weird reading that haha but it's grammatically correct.

    • +5

      Hehe. I get it. AnUS B

      • +1

        What happened to anus A

        • Anus B is the back up anus (pardon the pun), in case anus A is out of action.

    • I don't think it is correct - unless you pronounce USB as usb instead of U.S.B.

    • +4

      No it's not.

      The U is pronounced like a Y.

      Reverse holds too. "an hour away"

  • -2

    Kinda outdated with that microusb port.

    • +4

      There are like four phones with USB type C and they all came out recently.

      • -3

        Sorry for having one!

  • Buy cheap buy twice so when it breaks or DOA you've got the second one to use.

    Check to see it has warranty because that's not Kogan's specialty.

    • +6

      Awwww..WiseUpyou've got a crush on us. That's cute xx https://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/130168/comments

      • +2

        many people would also want to 'crush' you

      • Oh yeah btw thanks for updating the price on your website just then. Preventing people from buying dodgy USB's, for the greater good

  • +1

    Says $19. Is there an Arse code that I need to use or something.

  • +2

    $8.16 on kogan's ebay store.. Plus cash rewards on top of that…

    • Thank you, updated.

  • +2

    $19 on ebay now

  • Yeah. Expired now.

    Bought Kogan usb once. Never again.
    Crashed, lost files, needed formatting multiple times.
    Went to an early & deserved grave

    • My Kogan 32gb usb3 stick is still alive and kicking after ~2 years. Speeds also aren't terrible as you'd expect.

      • They are hit and miss.

  • Mine arrived today. I wrote 159MB of data to it (out of a 4.5GB file) before it died. Never went above 17MB/s. Basically dead on arrival.
    Add this to my previous Kogan Purchase a few years ago of a 64GB USB 3.0 Memory Key which died shortly after I took it out of the packet and took a bunch of my data with it and I now have a very poor opinion of Kogan.
