The Officeworks website currently has the SanDisk 32GB Ultra Backup USB Drive (SDCZ400-32G-A11) for $79 with free shipping, which works out to be a total of $83.95 once the $4.95 handling fee is factored in.

Given that the cheapest price on StaticIce is $99 not including shipping, I think this is a pretty good deal for a 32GB Sandisk-branded flash drive given the capacity and backup feature.

Please note that this may be a pricing error as the 16GB version is priced at $89.97 (not including handling fee) which is greater than the 32GB model - see here.

If it is an error, Officeworks may or may not honour this price though if you're interested and are willing to take a punt, I would suggest that you place an order ASAP. I'd put in an order myself if it wasn't for the fact that I bought a Sandisk 16GB Cruzer Blade only yesterday :(

          Weird. Still works perfectly fine for me. Just ran an Alertra Spot Check and the site seems to be up for all locations bar one (Chicago USA). Anyhow, hope it comes good for you soon.

    If you're just after a USB flash disk without a "Backup" button, MSY is actually selling a 32GB Sandisk for $73…
    http://www.msy.com.au/Parts/PARTS.pdf

    Maybe a bargain to buy it from office works…

  • BurnZ on 18/10/2010 - 00:40

    Link works for me also.

  • ballsofsteel on 18/10/2010 - 00:50

    I voted positive before clicking on the link =(

    doesnt work for me

  • bargrin on 18/10/2010 - 00:55

    saw this on their site yesterday but it said "on-line only".

    didnt pull trigger cause mymemory have some for just under $70AUD inc P&H

  • bargrin on 18/10/2010 - 00:57

  • Davo1111 on 18/10/2010 - 01:00

    link is slow, but works for me.

  • toomuchdogfur on 18/10/2010 - 09:59

    Pretty nice for a major-store, major-brand deal!

    Just note though - you can get the (probably faster) Corsair Voyager GTR 32GB sticks for around $90 from a lot of stores on static ice, if you're willing to put in the extra effort to get to the smaller stores.

    EDIT: My bad, a lot of them might not be in stock…

  • Black Hole on 18/10/2010 - 11:56

    Not so tempted since USB3 stick is getting cheaper.

    • lplau on 18/10/2010 - 16:02

      Getting cheaper. however does it run faster than a good usb2 stick?
      Checked a few brands out that has a usb3 stick, but they don't seem to perform better than a Patriot Rage XT or a good Corsair.

  • superkieu on 18/10/2010 - 12:01

    it's an OK deal.
    I am not voting positive or negative.

    off-topic:

    wow….. for the price I can easily get a 500GB 2.5" external HDD instead.
    the 2.5" is not that much bigger. Still fit in my pocket. and 1 USB cable is not hassle to me.
    I wouldn't buy this for $50, not even for the convenience.

    • lazed on 18/10/2010 - 12:27

      Good on you then.

    • eug on 18/10/2010 - 13:41

      just wait till you bump or drop that 500GB hdd. Or fit it in your pocket.

  • huey on 18/10/2010 - 12:24

    Superkieu, there are car headunits and Tv's with usb media playback that dont support for 2.5" HDD's.
    I for one own both these devices and need a decent size USB stick. Good to see they are getting cheaper.
