The Samsung Bar USB 3.0 Flash Drive 64GB is a very good price at $25.20 delivered after the code, the previous cheapest on OzBargain seemed to be $26

The 16GB is also available at a good price, for those who didn't pick one up at the 1 day Harvey Norman Sale, you can grab one now for $0.80 more delivered.
Just did some tests (32gb full, so more of a real life use indicator):

Real life test (copying a movie): http://imgur.com/a/uCcP9
Ran the same tests on 2 different computers which yielded the same results.
EDIT: Some more random type transfers (gba roms) -
Samsung Bar 64gb (inconsistent speeds, but ranged between 177kb/s to 6 MB/s): http://imgur.com/a/phGYR
Sandisk Extreme (CZ80) 32gb: http://imgur.com/a/qDP0t
The Samsung really gets stuck in real-life use with small files. Caused a bit of freezing (jumpy) using it as a source drive for some Java programming in Eclipse (sometimes taking in excess of 5-10 seconds to recover, on a small project).
I have the 64gb in front of me that I got from Futu.
CrystalDiskMark Seq Read/Write: 130.7MB/s / 58.61MB/s
It seemed slower than this in real life, so I did a write test:
2614MB file copied to USB drive
(from SSD to USB 3.0 port / no other devices attached)
Samsung Bar 64GB - 78 secs (~33MB/s) (got pretty warm but not burning hot)
Sandisk Extreme 32GB - 25 secs (~104MB/s)
Oh, I have a joke for this one.
Three Nazis walk into a BAR.
The end.
I walked into a bar once - it hurt.
Walk into a BAR and get FUBAR.
The links in the OP are swapped around (64GB brings up the 16GB page and vice versa).
Thanks, fixed
Own exact model, Meh speed.
How Meh?
I have SanDisk extreme 64g ad well. First time I got my Samsung when I use it, i though it is usb 2.0….
It is definitely a good one for general usage.
Pro:real good build quality
Con:speed not as impressive
I can't remember the exact speed, maybe around 50mb..that is reason why I gave it to my room mate the same day decide still using my sandisk
anyone recommend a good USB to throw on my keys? after Decent durability and performance
This one?… Have one on my keys and it's held up well.
Not seeing very positive things from the comments about speeds
Like seriously, how fast do you want it to be? Is waiting an extra 10-15 seconds compared to the fastest on the market worth the time and effort to decide on a USB stick? It's water proof, shock proof, magnet proof, temp proof, and X-ray proof, 5 year warranty, 16GB for under $9 delivered. What more can you ask for?
SanDisk extreme 64gb,been on my key chain for a year now, real work speed around 180mb/ write, i have the whole world of war craft in it….
Where did you buy it from?
I'd definitely recommend the Sandisk Extreme 64gb if you're looking for performance. Only downside is the physical size of it.
$37.56 with the 20% off here.
If you're just using it for movies/large file storage/general use and not any development or the like, the one in this deal is great (small, waterproof, more durable, etc).
If anyone is after a usb 2.0 drive this one is pretty damn cheap at $9.53

How about we do pricematch at OW?
Best of luck to you with that.
I have the 64gb , the 32gb and the 16gb version of this usb and they havent let me down so far , pretty fast when copying movies and such but they can slow down a bit when copying heaps of photos or small files
All in all im pretty satisfied and just ordered two more 16gb cheers op
I got this last time, speeds are up and down, usually <45MB/s
Bought the last 16gb cheers. Needed it for work :)
is that code for storing your pron
For that I would need a few of the 64GB variety.
Purchased recently for $8 a pop via this Harvey Norman deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/262106
16GB out of stock :(
Argh CHOICE20 isn't working anymore, do FUTU have a limit of the Samsung Bars or how many times you can use CHOICE20? I am trying to buy 2 x 64gb bars
All good here:
Items (2) AU $63.00
Postage Free
Vouchers -AU $12.60
Order total AU $50.40
The terms of the CHOICE20 promo is "3 Transactions Per Person" though.
AHHH :) I have used the code 3 times with them I think lol
create now account?
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Samsung-64GB-Bar-130MB-s-USB-3-0-…
Is PC.Byte legit does anyone know? Looks like the prices are similar and the CHOICE20 will work for me with them
cheers mate, I am only new to really getting stuck into oz bargain world :) I am in deep tho haha
Bought the 128GB variant. I did have a PNY Turbo 128GB (super fast!) but the plastic separated almost immediately and I was carrying it around as a PCB with USB connector… losing it a few months ago. Transfer rates are lower on this drive but an acceptable trade-off.
The 16GB drives are back in stock.
Any luck using the CHOICE20 coupon though? I am getting "This code can't be applied to some of your items." when the only item is the 16Gb drive.
Seems to work here:
Item (1) AU $11.00
Postage Free
Vouchers -AU $2.20
Order total
AU $8.80
Have you already used the CHOICE20 coupon 3 times? It's max 3 Transactions Per Person.
And it seems to be at a PP level, I made another ebay account but was getting the error and I think it's because linked to the PP, i
it's kinda annoying there is no added information about why the code is failing
Yeah code is linked to PayPal, probably need to livechat with eBay to get them to fix it up if you haven't used it 3 times or get a friend/family member to purchase it with their eBay/PayPal account.
I haven't used this code at all yet. Odd that it isn't working… Worst case, I just don't buy another USB drive I probably don't need.
I think I figured it out. My eBay account is associated with my Canadian PayPal account even though I was trying to pay with my Australian PayPal account. Made a new account and used my Australian PayPal account (on a different product because last I checked the USB Is out of stock) and it applied no problem.
Worked fine for me.
Centre.com has it on sale as part of their "Cyber Weekend":
