Was looking for one 16+ GB flash drive to backup recovery partition of my laptop and found this 32GB USB 3.0 flash drive at AUSPOST today in Introductory price. Looks pretty descent.
$19.99 Introductory price. $39.95 after promotion.(as stated in catalogue)
De-scenting may be required as performance looks quite stinky
Capacity USB 2.0: 4, 8, 16, 32GB USB 3.0: 8, 16, 32, 64, 128GB
Read speed USB 2.0 up to 15MB/s USB 3.0 up to 80MB/s
Write speed USB 2.0 up to 8MB/s USB 3.0 up to 12MB/s
This is a better buy, I have the 32GB version, write speed averages around 10MB/s write

That's usb 2.0
msy has them patriot usb3 otg usbs for $15 quite regularly
dunno why people dont get them instead?
The PNY from amazon sounds better at similar price.
True, but for the price, capacity and performance, the bang for buck is great
Just bought 2 of these, DONT waste your time if you are concerned about speed. They are rather slow even compared to USB2 speeds.
To compare,
my old Patriot Dash USB2 32gb = Real Time READ=31MB/s WRITE=9MB/s
my new Emtec Click USB3 32gb = Real Time READ=12MB/s WRITE=7MB/s
My Patriot starts off MUCH higher, with bursts in the 80-100MB/s range, then slowly tapers down to sit at 31MB/s, where as the Emtec stays at a snail pace of between 11-12MB/s.
FYI - Both tests run from a HP i7, 10gb RAM, with USB2 ports only, transferring a 2gb file back and forth for testing.
looks like the price of these things has descented to a new low!
I hope it doesn't smell or I'll have to de-scent it before I can use it
