Good price for a decent 64GB USB drive.
Historically lowest price on CamelCamelCamel.

Rather the 128gb verion at $34.97 as 64gb is getting to be the norm. I've had the 128gb for quite sometime now and its great
I had 256gb and it take quite long to read the whole file…
But anyway, it's portable.
Thanks ordered one
Is this any good?
Because I bought the Patriot 32gb 3.0 from MSY couple of weeks ago and the transfer speed it pretty disappointing.
It starts off at roughly 45mb/s but quickly degrades to less than 15mb/s. And its on a USB 3 drive.
Ive heard good things about pny from ppl on here but no first hand experience yet. I opted to purchase the 128gb one.
Probably on par with that. I've got the 256GB version and out of my Patriot Supersonic Boost XT, Kingston DataTraveler G3, SanDisk Extreme and Lexar FireFly it's the slowest by far.
My experience doesn't mirror yours. I have a 128GB PNY, and it starts off around 200MB/s then drops to about 145MB/s.
Are you talking sequential, random or just copying over your 2GB movies to it one at a time? Big difference. And how full is it?
I've seen a maximum of ~130MB/s (average is usually around 90MB/s) which seems on par with what 3rd-party benchmarks report:

It's slow by my standards.
~100/MBps write
The mechanism can't be a little stiff at times.
Like other stick some people have reported reliability issues after a few months.
Seldom use mine and pretty reliable
The 128 may be better value at roughly AUD$55 delivered?
Hopefully closer to $52
I bought the 256gb one for 89 yesterday, 69 today. Already shipped. Damm!
If the price dropped just after you purchased it, you can contact amazon and they will refund you the difference :)
Thanks for the heads up. I contacted them and they said they will give the $20 difference. Had to show them the link on Amazon but the price has gone up again so referred them to their pricing department who i'm sure have the history.
@cnrmljI I actually posted it yesterday for $69. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/183213 You may have just bought it before the price changed :(
Ordered! Thanks OP!
Awesome, didn't need one but was getting some new headphones! Big jump from my current 16GB USB3 one (and looks faster too!)
I like the performance of the drive, but the it's very difficult to extend and retract the stick. I think the design is cheap and nasty and will eventually break.
Just bought 2 x 64GB's. Didn't have any real need for them the last couple of times they've been posted and probably still don't but at that price I couldn't resist.
Lesson I learned is, buy stuff when you need it. They will continue to go down in price and you'll have an unopened item which you paid more for.
I get your point but I can't imagine too many good quality 64GB USB 3.0's getting much cheaper. They'll certainly get used, they can replace our old 8/16GB 2.0 drives so they won't be a waste of money.
I don't need more USB sticks, but nice find.
