        If it wasn't for great deaks, movies like Magic Mike XXL wouldn't be so popular…

  • charlotto on 20/07/2015 - 06:58

    I bought mine a year ago now and it's still cracking on beautifully and I don't treat it very nicely. It's perfect if you don't want to carry around a big hard drive.

  • qtvinsta on 20/07/2015 - 07:04

    love mine, been waiting for the 256gb one to drop since forever

    Are they as good as the 128GB SanDisk ones that was posted few days ago?

    • RedHab on 20/07/2015 - 10:31

      Yes, probably way faster, but SanDisk has a local warantee.

    Just before you place your order make sure you have the USD button checked.
    Amazon takes a cut in the currency exchange if you select the AUD button.
    According to xe.com, 35.00 USD = 47.4434 AUD

    • setsuna on 20/07/2015 - 09:13

      Though most banks in Aus don't really give good exchange rate anyway, plus international transaction fee.

      • samlor on 20/07/2015 - 09:15

        Yep, I always pay in USD using my 28degrees mastercard for no coversion fee.

      • Zachary on 20/07/2015 - 21:54

        Unless you're paying with something like Bankwest's Zero Platinum mastercard: http://www.bankwest.com.au/personal/credit-cards/compare-cre…

        where you don't have to pay any foreign/international transaction fees

      • driew on 21/07/2015 - 07:15

        If you don't have a 28 degrees or Bankwest Platinum, you can get a CitiBank Plus card; they also have good exchange rates with no conversion fees.

    i used my citi card, i assumed it would use the sell rate http://www.citibank.com.au/global_docs/onlinetools/ci1.htm

      No, Their CC rates includes commission

      • chinaman on 20/07/2015 - 17:45

        yup… i have the citi signature… and the 28 deg…
        the citibank pretty much gives you a crap rate, and you get a charge later..3% i think… not even worth the 4 for 1 points for fx transaction.
        use 28 degrees for all fx.

  • scuderiarmani on 20/07/2015 - 10:03

    Thanks, ordered 2, one of the other half. I know not the greatest USB drive going around, but I never liked retractable ones so this will do :)

    Was also an excuse to clear my Amazon cart too :)

    • mudkipz on 20/07/2015 - 11:23

      Aren't these retractable though?

      • scuderiarmani on 20/07/2015 - 11:32

        Oh well, you may be right :)
        Atleast it's a plastic cover, I don't mind that.

  • User102430 on 20/07/2015 - 10:13

    damn, ordered few days ago for $35 + shipping…

      Talk to Amazon Customer Service, they probably would refund you the difference, especially if that was only few days ago.

        Thanks mate, send them a query and they refunded $5 in a matter of 2 hours. Amazed with Amazon ;)

  • Lightanddark on 20/07/2015 - 11:28

    Does it come with encryption software like SanDisk usb?

    • stephendt on 20/07/2015 - 12:08
      +4

      Even if it did, I wouldn't recommend using it. I've never seen anything with value bundled with USB sticks - there are much better drive encryption and backups programs out there.

    Thanks OP. I remember when I got my first 128mb usb in high school and was like o_O wow this is so huge!

  • chinaman on 20/07/2015 - 17:45

    Hi guys, just wondering what you all use these big ones for?
    I find 32gb is pretty good. and dont run the riskk of losing it/all info …

    • iridiumstem on 21/07/2015 - 01:02

      I use my 64GB one as a USB OTG drive. My gf has a phone that doesn't have a mSD card support, I might give her the thing so that she can use it when she's going somewhere or something.

  • solar on 21/07/2015 - 21:47

    Thanks …grabbed two as needed some large fast usb sticks … though a lot of negative reviews about this drive on newegg and amazon about it dying after a few uses has me worried …

  • driew on 22/07/2015 - 17:53

    Thanks OP. I ordered one :)

  • solar on 02/08/2015 - 18:40

    Has anybody benchmarked the ones they have received? I got two - and both are showing averages of 70MB/s read and 30MB/s write after multiple tests using Flashbench, CrystalDiskMark 5.0.2 and doing manual file transfers. I've tried reformatting as exFat, NTFS and even FAT32. No difference in speed results. Is anybody getting speeds even close to what is advertised?

    They also run hot.

    Found this document on the PNY site: http://www.pny.com/File%20Library/OEM/Resource%20Center/PNY-…
    Interesting performance difference between PCBA and COB configurations. This is for OEM drives - but I can't see any way of telling which ones are now being sold in retail (note that document is from 2014)

    • Zachary on 02/08/2015 - 19:21

      Agreed, here is a picture of my many runs via Crystal Disk Mark, both USB2.0 and USB3.0 ports:

      http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x349/Gamer48/Online%20-%…

      Tried to write a review about this on Amazon but they didn't allow me to have it publicly available because it didn't meet certain criteria for it to be published…

      I'll try again and go through what wasn't supposed to be there and edit that out.

      Oh well, so long as it's reliable - who cares if the speeds aren't guaranteed for everyone?

      EDIT:

      "Advertisements, promotional material or repeated posts that make the same point excessively are considered spam."

      Perhaps my review of stating that it's performance is not what was expected and that lots of people have already clearly stated that in their own reviewers which I haven't gone through. And they think I'm spamming to make the same point over and over again, which is why they denied my review.

      • solar on 03/08/2015 - 10:55
        +1

        Am almost willing to ignore the speed issues (though this is no longer a bargain for a flash drive of these speeds - it writes at USB 2 speed). I'm really worried about reliability though. Countless reports on Amazon about these things suddenly dying within the first few weeks or months of use.

        I also noticed that the posts with benchmark speeds of 190MB/s reads seem to be over a year old, and everything recent seems to match the speeds we are getting. I'm guessing they switched manufacturing process to the much cheaper COB configuration and made that their retail product.

        • Zachary on 04/08/2015 - 14:13

          Hm, probably…

          Ok, looks like I got my review in(didn't really change much, just copied and pasted what I said last time and change a bit of the starting review sentence and it got in); should be in the review section. ☺

          So I'm guessing bots must be approving these and not humans…..could be wrong….
