Weird price I know. But with shipping factored in, PC Byte is offering these at cost price for the frenzy event. Couldn't get 1 cent more out of them. It's the cheapest price anywhere by a whopping 50%. They come complete with an SD adapter. Limited to one per customer, and will be dispatched immediately from PC Byte's Sydney warehouse. Simply apply coupon ARSEFRENZY at checkout & select free shipping. Only 500 pieces in stock. Enjoy :)
any deals on the 64G U3 Please
+1….what he/she said. I'll be all over this if it was 64GB, but still good deal nonetheless.
just buy 2
Nah, no more 32gbs. Got 4x 32s already. If I am replacing them, its going to be 64 minimum, probably 128s.
got one, cheers
Thanks but bugger. Just bought their ultra version yesterday. Well I guess it won't make any difference in my $60 Huawei phone. Then again, maybe it will! I better get it just in case.
I'm not sure if my arse should get frenzied ???
Just what I needed :) Thanks OP.
feel bad for those who got 32gb u1 for 20aud from jb hi-fi clearance
anyway i wish theres 64gb u3 deal
what about last week's ARSEXTREME for $17? >.>
come on 0.22aud difference isnt that much and they are at least the same card so i will left it off.
but consider the jb hi-fi one was just less than a day ago and slower speed
will make me feel like getting a punch in the balls
im still waiting for 64gb u3 deals
32gb seems for my action cam:(
This discount code is not google friendly ;)
If anything it's overly friendly.
Stylarse is still my favorite
Thanks TA!
This will go great with that D3300!
:)
Tried it in my d3300 - works fine :)
Happy with PC Byte - helpful staff !!
Thanks, got one
Arrived 20th Nov. Very fast delivery. Thanks.
OMG I so don't need this.
*bought *

Thank you for making the effort to share this.
Are random operations usually that much slower?
Yes.
In the past I've noticed the slower the cards read/write speed, the higher the random rate/IOPS relative to the sequential performance and such cards are better suited to random data access such as android devices that will read/write to it in a non sequential fashion.
So to answer your question, yes, random operations are usually slower - I'm going to take a stab and say it probably has to do something with column and row storage bank selection or something related to that.. When you are accessing data sequentially you'll usually go to the next cell/block keeping the column unchanged. If you start reading/writing data randomly you are having to change the column/row which probably has some overheads involved hence the performance hit.
This guy compares various cards last year and you can see the fast cards get pretty low random rates in comparison:

Thanks TA - great price! ☺
good timing!
thanks for that.
also why does the checkout page (once you bought it) say OZB enterprises?
lol, oic, thanks…
why can't i find where the coupon code goes? aaaaahhh
oh THAT obvious ;) tks TA
Do these have uses other than in fancy cameras? There are constantly deals and I understand they are handy for a phone or tablet, but does anyone really need more than, say, 3?
Even a non fancy camera may potentially benefit from a faster card — if your taking multiple shots quickly a faster card will allow the camera to write to it faster (although if the camera interface is speed limit its not going to make a big difference).
If you have raspberry pi, a fast card can make a world of difference (when reading/writing randomly such as applying an update) compared to a slower card and finally, this card has a fast read rate, so even if your camera is not fancy, if you have a usb3 card reader, you can quickly offload the images/video from your card to your computer.
Perhaps another way to look at it is this way, you could get a much slower card and save only $2-3 and in 1-2 years time when you buy a new electronic device that uses an sdcard for storage regret getting a slower card to save a dollar or two (or in my case buying a 4 port SATA motherboard to save $40 and then regret the decision when you want to add a 5th sata device - but I digress).
Thank you! Great answer.
The SanDisk Ultra (80MB/s) cards have a really crap write speed. Less than 20MB/s, which is less than USB 2.0 speed.
Less than 20MB/s, which is less than USB 2.0 speed.
Approx ~15MB/s, I bought one to test against a much more expensive Sandisk Extreme Pro, using a very crude counting system, they're approximately half the write speed of Extreme Pro. Takes ~2 seconds to write 30MB.
If you aren't using these to shoot RAW/RAW+JPEG in a DSLR, they should be fine (in a phone, tablet, compact camera).
When you burst with 30MB/shot (RAW + Jpeg) and you want to review your images you WILL notice the writing time required by the memory card you're using. Can be frustrating.
If you want to use the Sandisk Ultra for a DSLR shooting JPEGs, that's fine but if you're shooting RAW, consider a faster card
Brought the 128gb ultra for 79.95 from here.
www.wireless1.com.au/sandisk-ultra-microsdxc-uhs-i-128gb-sd-…
Why bring us this post?
Cheaper per gb
Which one is cheaper pr GB?
That Sandisk Ultra 128GB works out to be about $0.62 per GB.
This Sandisk Extreme 32GB works out to be about $0.53 per GB.
@g2420hd: Ding, ding, ding. That's correct.
Which is why aussie216618 posted that 128GB Ultra deal for, when it is more expensive per GB?
I know the ultra fit's get hot, but do microSD cards have any sort of heat issue? Not sure if I should be buying a microSD (larger capacity) for my Surface.
tHANKS ozbargain PERFECT DEAL!!! KEEP THEM COMING!!
Where do you put in the coupon code? I couldn't find it on the check out screen.
Thank you Mr TA.

Wow again had this one not too long ago. Must have been a great sale
Not even a week just 6 days ago lol

$16.88 is a perfect pricing among Chinese by the way.
Too bad you can't price protect either. Can't win them all
i suppose i'll buy just one more..
Thanks a good deal, ordered!
edit:
now need a good deal on 8GB USB3 Flash drives say 4 or 5 - clues anyone?

I'm not really interested in the SD card, but +1 for ARSEFRENZY!

Thanks, bought … mostly for the coupon code
Thanks, bought….wait……….what I have done!!….

I don't need another SD.

It won't hurt having another one as a spare.
thanks OP got one for the camera I got during JBHIFI warehouse clearance :)
Got one, thx.
I brought my second one again.. Ono
i want one so bad (already have 2), but cant seem to find an excuse to convince myself to actualy buy it.
Also waiting for the next 64GB Deal…
Dick Smith have done poorly with their Frenzy deals code ….
please tightarse we need 64 or 128gb deals !
oh noooo i missed it, just when i did not check ozbargain for a few hours
Damn! missed it! Would have made a good complement to my newly order Surface 3…
Dammit! Thought it'd be ending midnight.
Missed out…
More stocks….
Missed out on this and the last one :(
Excellent deal. Bought 2.
Great deal and excellent service . I bought one last week and I received it the next day. Now I can "enjoy" many more hours of my children's go pro antics.
Anymore of this? I would like a 32 or 64G. Cheers.
$25 for a Samsung 64GB from Hong Kong seems alright…
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/221159
The code DAACEVO also works for the 32GB @ $13.95. Actually I might post that as a separate deal.
Can you get a good price on either of these?
