    These get really hot FYI

    • snappy1234 on 23/03/2018 - 03:40

      Good as a personal heater this winter ?

    • theguyrules on 23/03/2018 - 08:09

      Considering they’re metal, sure they get warm. But I’ve never had a problem with them getting “too hot”. I use mine all the time and have had it on my keys for 3 years or so. Still going strong. Never had it burn me.

      • pongky on 23/03/2018 - 10:23

        How does it stay on your keys? from the pics it doesn't show there's a small hole for a keyring

          What pictures are you looking at? There's a massive hole on one side of the drive.

        • pongky on 23/03/2018 - 12:22

          @StoneSin: Oh that loop thing, got it. I was looking for another opening. Thanks! Does it get scratched all to hell though?

        • theguyrules on 23/03/2018 - 12:41

          @pongky: not really

        • [Deactivated] on 23/03/2018 - 12:54

          @pongky: If you put something on your key ring that you care about visuals with, take it off. Don't ever put "nice looking" things on your key rings.

      You could say that means it does a better job dissipating heat from the controller and NAND than plastic sticks.

      they get hot but not uncomfortably hot like the mini sandisk usb

    Read review

    Pros

    Gorgeous design
    Rugged build with great protection against the elements
    Key hole works well

    Cons

    Mid to low range USB 3.0 Performance

    Also, as noted above these get hot. Like, burning hot, without exagerating.

    Edit: When clicking on the OP link, I get this bottom right message:

    Makes me feel like a professional.

    • BewareOfThe Dog on 23/03/2018 - 09:40

      I love my 16GB. Yes they do get hot, but I have found mine is generally quite quick (though all my other drives are USB2). So a Sandisk maybe quicker.

    I have two of these, one 32 GB and one 64 GB both bought from Harvey Norman around this price. While both are still working fine, 64 GB one now has become a 32 GB drive..! Half of the capacity is gone for some reason. I formatted the drive and checked for other issues but nothing found. Didn't claim for warranty as I was happy with 32 GB anyway. But something you may want to know..

      Have you tried using a utility like easeus and repartitioning? ust make sure you back your drive up.

    • Butt Scratcher on 23/03/2018 - 11:40

      It has happened to me before when I turned a usb into a Bootable drive. A simple reformat didn't get it to revert the last time I did it.

      You need to undo the partition somehow, I think i did it through the windows tool after playing around with it for a while

      Hahaha same thing happened to me! Didn't realize this was an issue though.

      Easy fix, go into disk manager, delete the 32gb partition on the flash drive and reallocate the whole unpartitioned space as fat32exfat

  • BargainKen on 23/03/2018 - 09:19

    Did the older models not use NAND flash memory technology?

    • renza on 23/03/2018 - 09:42

      Basically all USB flash drives from the beginning of time have used NAND flash

      • BargainKen on 23/03/2018 - 09:51

        Thats what I thought thanks.

  • The Gent on 23/03/2018 - 09:46

    This is a terrible USB that reaches around USB 2.0 speeds. I recommend strongly against.

    • GrantG on 23/03/2018 - 10:07

      Using one of these yesterday and write speed was around 30MBps, while read speed was ~115MBps (1gb movie files). Not the fastest usb for writing but a good usb to leave in the back of the tv (2 sandisk extremes do not fit side by side in my samsung tv, hence needing one slim usb stick).

      • leetec on 23/03/2018 - 11:14

        that's your computer's problem, not the drive. This Samsung is optimized for reading only so reading is much quicker than USB2

  • idonotknowwhy on 23/03/2018 - 11:19

    I have 4 of the 32GB version (JB price-matched TGG deal, and I already had one.)
    They get very hot, but for $28 it's a good deal.

  • musicinbed69 on 23/03/2018 - 11:24

    I have 2 of these (a 16 and a 32) that I use most days. Never noticed them getting hot at all.
    Thanks for the post, will grab one on my travels today.

  • golferpat on 23/03/2018 - 11:33

    Pretty sure I bought this at the same price at the start of 2016.

    • mazuko on 23/03/2018 - 12:07

      Are you still using it?
      Is it still going strong?

      • golferpat on 23/03/2018 - 12:47

        Its just one of those things. I know I have one and have used it for a bit - not sure where it is now though haha but believe its still going strong.

      We live in an age of weird pricing.

      You would think most tech would slowly decrease in prices rather than weird jumps everywhere.

      • Procyon on 23/03/2018 - 20:00

        The manufacturing cost of technology does decrease… and conversely company profits keep on increasing! And the good little consumer keeps on paying ;)

  • pfrcom on 23/03/2018 - 12:13

    Deal link shows $38 for me

    • Being Askhole on 23/03/2018 - 12:14

      Offer gone now

      • pjetson on 23/03/2018 - 20:00

        I got one for $28 at the Knox City (Vic) store for $28 at about 6pm tonight, even though it came up on their computer at $38, mostly because I had a printout of the web page showing $28.

        Also, Ferntree Gully Officeworks have them priced at $25 as a clearance item, but they have no stock, and said that because it was a clearance item, they couldn't tell me whether any other stores had stock.

  • DanielR on 23/03/2018 - 14:28

    Is that a Samsung BAR in your pocket? or are you just happy to see me

    • pjetson on 23/03/2018 - 20:01

      Not very pleased, given the small size of this device.

  • [Deactivated] on 23/03/2018 - 14:30

    Just walked down to the HN and it took like 30-40 mins in total because it took them forever to actually get me the USB.

    Coming up as $38. so in time I walked down and got it, it had changed :(

    • pongky on 23/03/2018 - 16:42

      So they took the extra time to change the price on you =)

  • luffyex2010 on 23/03/2018 - 14:37

    Dang…..missed it.

    Would be great for my arcade snes mini.
