Congrats, my favourite TA :)
TA, congrats favourite my… monorail…. doh!
their Samsung USB 3.0 Flash Drive BAR 128GB is $45 delivered without any code???
thats because it is on sale
nevermind
Harvey Norman regularly has these for $28 or $29. They aren't very fast though, for a USB 3 stick.
actually much faster than the average and quite fast in general especially for this price/capacity
very good on keyring with very high built quality and durability
Depends what you're comparing it to I guess.
The other USB3 sticks I have murder this.
@ifonlyiwasyounger: I have.. Samsung dual USB, Sandisk Extreme, and Sandisk Extreme Pro.
The samsung dual USB is somewhat faster and more useful. The Sandisks totally kill it. They are about the same price when not on special. But I don't think you'll get an Extreme or Extreme Pro on sale for this price.
Also the PNY Elites from Amazon are a lot faster than this.
There are a lot of better sticks than this. But I'm not saying it isn't worth $22. I'm just saying don't get too excited by its performance. It's pretty average. Also gets very hot.
Sandisk Extreme USB3 Flash, rated at 245MB/s read speed.
I've got a Sandisk Extreme USB3 16GB here serving as my Windows 10 install media and boy does it install Windows 10 from it super fast.
@donnot: Sandisk are the best. I always buy them when they're on special. I have enough to make a necklace out of them.
It's a shame they don't make 256GB or 512GB.
@tranqme: Convenience. And if you are someone who transfers large amounts of data (which I am).
It's no good having a super fast USB stick and not being able to put much onto it before needing to change stick. And it's much easier to organize if you know everything is all in one place.
@tranqme: the same reasons people would buy 2TB or larger portable hard drive. Some people would like to carry their entire porn collection with them at all times.
man great price, normally i would just buy cheap sd cards, but if i look a little to the left of my monitor, i can see about 5 of them in sight (2 unopened)
Good stuff, TA. I'll get one of each considering the few times I need either, my others are being used already!
Cheers.
Big up yourself bud…top effort ;)
Any free shipping coupons pls?
At the checkout it comes up with a postage bill - but upon payment the postage disappears.
Thanks free postage for all products ?
Na Postage is $12 to perth
Congratulations TA Keep up the good work. 👍🏻
You're a machine TA
Good deal. But the customer service experience is pretty bad from ShoppingExpress. Got my logitech G810 keyboard went faulty, emailed them, no respond the whole week except an email asking for Serial number. This email was sent after I gave them a call complaining about the respond speed of customer service. Then total silent again. In that complain call, they even want me to contact logitech to solve the problem. But I bought the keyboard from them! I'll keep waiting for their respond to see how bad the customer service could be.
Yep that does not surprise me from SE. I purchased a Microserver from them and when it arrived DOA they wanted me to go though HP for warranty. When they have your money they don't give a crap.
Thanks TA
Congratulations TA, always appreciate your effort.☺
Congrats
2500! Well Done.
Congrats TA :)
Great work!
PS 16GB in title please.
Edit: it's there. I'm a fool.
Edit 2: I think my brain is getting confused because the formatting for each deal is different.
Congrats TA, thanks for all the incredible deals. Keep up the awesome work :)
any 32GB on sale
2500 cool, can't even reach 25 lol
Picked up a few of those Samsung drives from HN recently, 16-64gb.32gb died on me after several uses.

Was abot to pick up one of the samsung USB's but then it showed this samsung DUO with micro USB in the 'people also viewed' for only $2 more.

Congrats TA, you always do excellent work for this site :)
Thanks TA, got a 16gb sd

Didn't need but bought anyway, because why not? Sigh..
I have that bar USB btw. It's not very fast, so don't get too excited about it.
Grats TA and thanks :)
Great deal, thanks for putting it together!
Ordered. Cheers
thanks and congrats
Congratulations TA! Remarkable work, you da man!
Thanks for saving me money over the years TA, you're a massive tightarse.
Ta TA.
Anyone else just looks that TA has posted and instantly thinks it's going to be a good deal without even reading what it is ?
No.
I hope you mean because you already know it's going to be exceptionally awesome
Not only do I think it's going to be great, but with it comes the responsibility of buying it. I bought the 16Gb micro SD card. What the hell am I going to do with it? Does anyone really need a $5 16Gb micro SD? All our phones are either 64gb or 128gb. Good news is that there is a perfect spot next to the Eneloops. The only good thing to come out of Dick Smith's undeserved demise.
TA- good work thanks so much we Oz bargain community owe u a lot
We don't "owe" him anything.
Anyone used their voucher yet?
Thank you TA for this deal - just bought one as a gift for a co-worker who just needs a reasonably sized sd card for his phone to store music —- will go quite well with a bluetooth headphone/headset adapter I bought to go with it! One Christmas gift sorted!
P.S. Congrats on your milestone.
excellent. was looking for an inexpensive 16gb. cheers
Thanks TA
didnt need anything, bought it anyway
mmm, this one maybe better $24 , $2 extra but have micro usb and normal usb,
http://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/buy/samsung-usb-3.0-flash-…

Mine appears to be free shipping at checkout.

Good guy TA :)
The 16gb micro sds are out of stock.
"Sorry. We don't have enough 'Toshiba 16GB Micro SD Card SDHC Class 10 40MB/s (SD-C016GR7AR040A)' in stock to fulfill your order: we have 0 in stock."
RIP
OzBargained out.
Congrats TA!
Did some benchmarks and comparison with the SanDisk Extreme 32GB against the 64GB Samsung a while back here for anyone wondering. Not a bad USB at this price, but don't have too high expectations.
Thankyou TA for your dedication. Love your work.
All praise the tight one!
own the samsung bar, do not expect high speed, but enough for general usage. but again, 64G you want high speed…..
I have the 32GB version and the write speed is 25MB per second.
Isn't that worse than usb 2.0?
It's less than the possible bandwidth of USB2. But not all USB2 sticks can saturate the 60MB/s bandwidth. Most can read faster than they write, but the write speed is 4MB/s for some of the cheaper ones like Verbatim.
No, most USB 2.0 drives write up to 12.5MB/s.
@Hornpub: The max transfer speed for USB 2.0 is 480 Mbps, which is 60MB/s.
That doesn't mean that USB 2.0 sticks will reach that maximum speed. Most will not.
@lostn: That's without considering parity bits and overheads. In reality even the fastest sticks max out around 30-32 MB/s.
Congrats TA
