I saw these at my local HN today, these are OK drives at a very good price. There's a limit of three sticks per sale (or per person?). Stock was plentiful at HN in Hobart. They're also listed as a 'Red Hot' deal on HN's website.

Got a few last time for $2. I was in Harvey Norman yesterday (Wednesday) at Oxley (Brisbane), and they had a crate/barrel of these, but they were $6. :/
Some stores aren't advertising the discounted price but they still scan at 99c
Worse thing, the woman behind the counter manually increased their price back to $5. Had to correct her the scan price was correct, I wonder how many people got caught out with that one.
But I did purchase 6 at the time.
Thanks heaps OP.
Martin Place in Sydney had loads but marked at $5 - didn't attempt to buy
They're actually $1 there even though the box says $5 - I bought some yesterday.
Martin Place are doing the 99c but they're pretty tight on the limit. I ordered 2 lots from them, they rang and said they'll only process one and I have to email for a refund on the other order.
It's not only Toshiba - Harvey Norman Fortitude Valley (QLD) had a big box of mixed brands for $0.99 yesterday including better brands like Lexar and Verbatim.
Thought Toshiba was a good brand?
Lexar and verbatim specialize in this sort of product though, storage media.
Just notice the same product been listed on 2 different product code and link

and

when you add into the shopping cart it showing like 2 different item, is that mean we can bought 6 now ?
Hey! Nice spotting. It worked. 6 in cart.
Edit: Order confirmed. Thank you!
Well done, they should pop up Hi Professional when we do that. :)
Ha! I just noticed the same and came to report. Beaten by 30 mins. Well played :)
Getting myself another 6.
You mean you've ordered 6 already, completed the purchase and now ordering another 6? Does the system allow you to do that?
Okay stock-take time…
6 from my local store, whilst waiting I asked the checkout girl if I could grab some more is there a limit preventing that? She said she didn't care how many I buy, so I grabbed another 11.
Tried to order 6 from Martin Place store (close to my workplace) but they rejected 3. Getting another 3 in my fiancée's name from a different store today.
I sense votes coming my way… Am I OzBargain HERO or OzBargain ZERO?
EDIT: Short answer to your question, the system doesn't seem to care if you're ordering from different stores like I did. Ordering more than 1 lot from a single store will depend on the store. I'd say by now management has told them to reject such orders though.
Thank you. It seems you are stocking up a lot of ammo to throw to someone (referring to your previous comment)
I'm workplace trainer so these are for my students. As much as I'd love to toss 1 or 2 at them on occasional, that would be bad for business ;)
Use them in a modded nerf gun.
those bytes bites!
If somebody needs a stick with more than 4GB, most Officeworks are clearing out their stock of generic 8GB sticks for $3.33 each. Not quite as cheap per GB as the HN deal but still the best Brick & Mortar price for 8GB at the moment.
Transfer speed is not great but I've seen worse.
The biggest catch is that the caps of the sticks are branded with a picture of the "boy band" One Direction.
However, the caps are easily be detached from the stick if that nauseates you (as it does me).The caps could, of course, be easily painted over with hobby paint, spray paint, or just a good permanent marker.
There is plenty of supply. OW is having trouble moving the branded sticks even at that price, but I don't think people realise how easy it is to simply remove the cap.
See the deal here:
http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/105161I just picked up my 3 usb drives….the guy said 99c was online only…fock! if i knew they scanned in-store for 99c, I'd grab a heap more…i should have grabbed one from the bargain bin and asked to get it scanned…oh well, not worth the effort to go back to the Hoppers store for these…I really hate that store…make u walk through all the furniture, etc before getting to the electronics section…
same with qv though? furniture then electronics.
I think it's intentional design, similar to having pet stores next to games stores in malls. You go in for your stuffs while she has a nap out the front.
I tried HN Moonah today and they were all marked $9.95 so I didn't bother to try one and get any. Might try tomorrow.
Someone must put the decimal in the wrong place
Just grabbed another 6
My fiancée got 3. The boss politely informed me that we'd gotten all we're allowed to buy, citing the 3 per customer limit. So in true OzBargain spirit, I asked if it would be okay for my 5 month old to buy 3, he had no objection :)
That's the way, start 'em young. I knew there was an upside to having kids.
The problem is, she dropped all 3 once she saw some balloons in-store, apparently more interesting than a USB bargain.
Never mind, persevere with the training. :)
I trust that you punished her severely for this.
If he says no will you ask: are you agist?
Possibly, I was expecting him to say no in all honesty as he didn't seem to be in a great mood. I was just in a smart arse kind of mood so I had a crack. Actually I think my idea cheered him up a little :)
Grabbed a couple after I saw this YAY! My first bargain from ozbargain!!! Now what to do with them? hmmm
MYER isn't a reliable benchmark for hardware/peripherals, but they do have decent offers for laptops, etc. Static Ice is better: http://staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=4gb+flash&spos=…
Yeah but you get Myer One points!!! :P
Got 6 today at Oxley, ordered 3 online for in-store pickup (which my Husband got) & I got 3 more while there today, wasn't allowed to buy more than 3 per person. They aren't marked at 99c, but at $6.95 (if I recall correctly), there are heaps and heaps of them there right next to the checkout.
Wish you could tape them together and get 12GB. Can't fit much on 4GB these days.
I saw a 256 USB RAID device someone posted in a previous USB deal. Then you could have 1TB of Toshiba's (questionable) goodness without needing the sticky tape
Hmm.. For the cost, it might be cheaper to buy an ext HDD.
I grabbed 3 today, where they have about 100 left at Campbelltown. The girl working there wouldn't let me take 6 after I asked politely. Well, the karma is that she now has to experience her life's work being retail.
I grabbed 3 this morning, where they have about 100 left at Caringbah. Marked down in store to 99c.
still heaps at Brisbane CBD queens st
My folks came back with 10 from the HN in Fyshwick. Apparently when they asked the limit per person the girl said 5 instead of 3 :) They only have around 9 left though after the 10 they bought…
These USB sticks are very slow. I bought three yesterday and compare to other USB2 stick, these ones are much slower!!
Does anyone know when Harvey Norman will start super saturday again?
Has anyone try to open and see what is inside ? You will be surprise to find out the actual flashdisk component was very small, in fact what inside the black plastic was nothing just a clear plastic and no component in it. What I try to said is you can use it to make a smallest flashdisk because the main component was actually inside the connector.
I've got a 8GB flash key given out at a conference. It's a chip of plastic just big enough to fit inside the USB socket. No USB plug, just the gold fingers on the plastic. You need to attach a cord to it or you will lose it.
Just Left HN @ Oxley. They have heaps of sticks. BUT in box marked everyday price $6-00 reduced from blah blah. I had to ask a blueshirt staff [who had to check with the checkout operator].
IF you are to buy do not be put off by price ASK. Good luck.
Mascot has heaps left in the bargain baskets
In case you are wondering:
Test finished without errors.
You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.
Writing speed: 3.94 MByte/s
Reading speed: 16.9 MByte/s
H2testw v1.4I hardly see any other retailers selling 4GB sticks nowadays.
Why didn't HN reduce the price to $3 or $4 when the 4GB still sells? Then they don't have to clear them at such a desperate price.
I hardly see any other retailers selling 4GB sticks nowadays.
My guess, they're being phased out as 8gb is not much more to manufacture due to dropping memory cost.
USB sticks' days are numbered, what with the NBN, the cloud, One Direction, etc
One Direction?!
You mean once you upload your files, you can never download them? Horrendous.
Was at Nunawading, VIC today and there were hundreds on a rack, price clearly marked as $0.99, max 3 per customer.
Ordered online for pickup Broadway NSW .Ordered 9 in total(3 separate orders)No problems picking up 2 days later. Great deal. I will share the love with my nieces and nephews!
Did you pick them up all by yourself in 1 go or did you have to use a different counter 3 times? Did you use Paypal? I was wondering if they still check your ID & CC?
Went in by myself just the once/showed drivers licence (photo id)which they always require. No problems. The orders were sitting there waiting for me/ paid by PayPal so no credit card required
Shouldn't a 4GB drive show up as 3.72GB (93%) on windows?
It says 3.59GB for me
Perhaps that's 3.59 GiB?
not expired in-store! Taren point nsw had plenty in stock this morning! http://oi42.tinypic.com/5pg6c.jpg
how you add the led?
just solder it on?Yes, just solder it there and make sure it has the correct polarity.
Wow. I ordered these online, waited for the online confirmation to go pick up. Its been 23 days and I dont think Ill be getting any .99c flash drives anymore. I hope they refund my money!
I rang them 2 days after I ordered they just told me to come in and get them I think u left it abit to long….

It's not like you'll be loading these with Ultra HD movies. Though I'm sure there's many other creative uses for these things, eg. loading them up with your favourite Stuxnet variant and losing them
