15/10/2013 update: email from Kogan, it was the website error, but Kogan will honour the $99 deal.

Price back to $149 shipped now. so the $99 shipped is the price error. not sure what Kogan will do on all the $99 orders.

saw this deal from Kogan, it says $149 shipped to Australia, but when i summited order, only cost $99. they give additional $50 off. looks a very good deal.

on ebay, the cheapest one cost more than $200-$300.

looks like a pretty good deal.

    Probably a price error

  • Tadashi on 11/10/2013 - 10:08

    What's faster this or an SSD?

    • Kaboda on 11/10/2013 - 10:10

      Check the read write speeds of USB3 vs SATA6.

    • ozhunter on 11/10/2013 - 10:10

      SSD is much faster.

      • [Deactivated] on 11/10/2013 - 10:10
        +2

        About 5 times faster.

    • cakesy on 11/10/2013 - 10:10

      SSD will always be faster, for a number of reasons. This is cheaper and smaller.

      • chyawala on 11/10/2013 - 12:47

        I would suggest that around the corrected price of $149, you could get an entry level SSD and USB 3 caddy that would perform better, offer better flexibility to upgrade PC as well as providing a caddy for the upgraded drive.

        • [Deactivated] on 11/10/2013 - 13:19

          But be much larger and more fiddly.

    No one thinks it looks cheap and will break down after few weeks' use?

    • Jorkus on 11/10/2013 - 10:16

      I've had two of the 32gb versions, they're actually quite nice.

    • su27km on 11/10/2013 - 10:28

      1 year warrenty :)

    • bargaino on 11/10/2013 - 10:56

      yes, looks cheap and might get mixed up with the 4GB promo freebies in the drawer.

  • cristtos on 11/10/2013 - 10:16

    Confirm $99 on payment page but… Do I really need one?!?

    I am now waiting for my 2 x $20 Kogan coupon.

    !!!!!PRICE ERROR!!!!!

    Jokes aside guys and gals this is a price error!

    Normal price is $199, sale price is $149 ($50 off) they've applied the discount twice and it's down to $99.

    I received this email this morning from Kogan with the special.

    !!!!!PRICE ERROR!!!!!

    • ozhunter on 11/10/2013 - 10:19

      Yea it's a price error because even when you click the link it's $150(discounted $50) but when you get halfway through checking out, another $50 is taken off for no reason.

      • rekabkram on 11/10/2013 - 10:22

        So the only reason that people are buying is because they are hoping for a $20 voucher like with the S4? Far more likely to get a $5 one if they do it again.

        • bbcw1980 on 11/10/2013 - 10:26

          $5 is better than $0.

  • [Deactivated] on 11/10/2013 - 10:19

    I sort of have the feeling that if I buy one, my $99 is the same as down the toilet…

  • jayzee on 11/10/2013 - 10:22

    Price back to $149

    • rekabkram on 11/10/2013 - 10:24

      Hopefully there was just a few dozen sales and Kogan decides to let it go as a screw up on their end, the longer this went on the less likely they were to honour it.

    • abc on 11/10/2013 - 10:24

      got it for $99 haha. Hope its honoured…

    • ozhunter on 11/10/2013 - 10:25

      Yep, error fixed, even if you go to the final checkout page.

    • su27km on 11/10/2013 - 10:32

      yes. back to $149 now :(

      i bought one, hopefully they will hourner it this time :)

    Kogan, you done it again!

    • bonbon on 11/10/2013 - 10:33

      when it's clearly pricing error, they fixed it instantly.

      • bbcw1980 on 11/10/2013 - 10:41

        Cant stop wondering why takes them days to fix Samsung S4 pricing error?

        • rekabkram on 11/10/2013 - 10:44

          I still think the needed quick cash flow to pay bills theory was right. They've just shown that they can fix pricing errors in under half an hour, being outside of normal business hours it should've taken 2 hours maximum… They let it run because they wanted cash for a couple of days interest free.

        • jayzee on 11/10/2013 - 11:07

          You don't get cash in when customers use credit card to pay you, credit card company only pays you after one month or sometime later after the transactions.

        • bbyboy on 11/10/2013 - 11:13

          its a marketing strategy to drive traffic to their website. when they have a "good" deal (fake or not), people will come back to check again. yeah they lost money on a few coupons but they saved thousands on advertisement

        • altomic on 11/10/2013 - 11:54

          and they had thousands and thousands of hits on their website and they sold thousands of phones that day. - statistics look good from certain angles

        • ilostnemo on 11/10/2013 - 13:07

          Jayzee, You are misinformed.

          Merchants are paid upon settlement.

        • GafferFish on 13/10/2013 - 12:28

          jayzee - Uh nope. I work in finance and reconcile credit card payments - we get the cash into our bank account either on the same business day or next business day depending on the type of credit card. I expect a large business like Kogan would have a similar setup.

  • bonbon on 11/10/2013 - 10:31

    got his model for 32GB, really bad product.

    • jayzee on 11/10/2013 - 11:09

      How bad is it? I thought lots of ppl bought 32Gb USB drive use $20 voucher.
      I am consider buying one, really appreciate your opinion

  • zhen on 11/10/2013 - 11:13

    Kogan, I have missed "price error" this time, can you let me know if this happened again ?

      It will happen again on 22/10/2013, stay tuned.

  • monfsts on 11/10/2013 - 11:29

    OMG! My second thumbdrive one was 256mb, and now we are talking about 256GB!
    Hope Kogan honours it! Good luck people :)

    • rekabkram on 11/10/2013 - 12:10

      I remember paying around $180 for a 4gb USB stick, now I scoff at them. To think when my daughter is grown up she'll think we lived in the stupid ages reading a book encyclopaedia, using a thesaurus and dictionary. Learning grammar in school and not having it automatic…. Learning to navigate with a compass and map, to her it'll sound like I was born in the 1880's not the 1980's.

  • [Deactivated] on 11/10/2013 - 13:39

    This is faster than any primary HDD I've ever had. my current HDD tops out at ~30Mbps.

  • su27km on 11/10/2013 - 13:46

    so far it looks good for my $99 order. i just got an email from Kogan for "Additional Information Required".

    • paulaus on 11/10/2013 - 16:13

      shhhhh

  • sydboy007 on 12/10/2013 - 16:12

    I have the 64GB model and it's fast.

    50-60MB /s read write speeds.

  • bbcw1980 on 15/10/2013 - 10:36

    Just wondering if anyone got their drive yet?

    We are writing about your recent purchase of a 256GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive from Kogan.
    When you purchased the product it was on sale and there was a website error that caused the discount to be applied twice. During the sale, the 256GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive was discounted from $199.00 to $149.00 but due to the website error you were only charged $99.00 per unit.
    We take full responsibility for this mistake, and as a gesture of goodwill, we will honour the deal.
    Your order is currently being processed and you will receive an email to let you know once it is shipped (you don't need to do anything!).
