Been looking for an extreme go usb and bing lee seems discounted.
128gb extreme go usb for $29
Avaialable on the binglee website also.
Sold out on ebay but available on binglee site still.
Thanks OP. I've been using a couple of old of 32gb and they are great.
Yes. Fatest USB stick I've used.
But the sliding USB often retreats when I try to stick it in, making insertion quite troublesome on occasions.
Then again, it must just be my particular unit.

Are we still talking about flash drives?
Yes. I thought that was obvious.
I should also mention, my wife agrees its the fastest USB stick she'd ever used. She is an IT specialist, so has had a lot experience with such things.
@billybilly81: Ewwwwwwwwww. What a dirty mind you have. You need to go and wash your mind out with some hot, soapy water.
Tell me you manage to at least get just the tip in.
Yes. The problem is establishing a meaningful data connection.
@apollovan: I leave it in for several seconds, then use the "Safely Remove Mass Storage Device" option. My wife says I'm being pedantic, but I like to play it safe.
Sometimes it's like trying to push a noodle in!
You got some accordion action
I think extreme pro is the fastest.
Spreading a little peanut butter on the tip can help.
Shipping is only $6 via the non-ebay BL site.
Not for me, you liar!!! Brisbane region,
Fair cop ;D Looks like it varies, I'm in Sydney and it says $6.
What sucks though is that the shipping charge just multiplies by the amount ordered, so harder to get multiples. I wanted three.
Any deals on 256GB?
Good price. Need a new fleet of imaging sticks for the end of the year. Was about to buy 64GB's for $38-$42 ea from Amazon.. so this is a good saving and double the capacity.
Thank you, OP! Got one! Now what do I need this for..
These have a very high failure rate.
Source?
Read some reviews, but its got a 20% failure rate within 12 months.
I think you're referring to the Extreme "Pro". From what I can see, 99% of the bad reviews for the Extreme "Go" (on amazon) are for disappointing speeds.
What's the speed?
Nowhere near what's quoted by sandisk apparently. From what I can gather from Amazon reviews, real world speeds are around 85MB/s max.
And for some more importantly, whats the average Write Speeds?
Yeah even worse it seems, some average as low as ~35MB/s.
USBs that retract are a PITA… especially with Murphy's law saying that you'll always try inserting it upside down the first time around (and second, in some cases). Good price though!
the women prefer retractable sticks
Awesome thanks OP.
What's worse is I can remember paying this for a 128 megabyte USB memory stick many years (decades?) ago…
Can try get another extra 5% at Officework Price Beat too…
Can only buy a max of 2 on their website so it’s not worth it with that much shipping.
Bing Lee - Pickup Order#1007xxxx is being reviewed. Looks like they do not want to honor this offer, or is it a price error?
It appears to be limited stock. Perhaps no stock at your location?
Pickup confirmed at Moore Park NSW.
Update: got confirmation email after 1 hour, ready to pick up now.
Bought one from Carlingford. Seems to be plenty in stock about 45 mins ago.
Purchased one, but suddenly find Sandisk in Australia only offer 1 year warranty to it according to bing lee website. In other market(e.g. China), sandisk offer worldwide lifetime warranty for extreme go & pro series.
Not true with this. Sandisk offers a lifetime warranty on Extreme flash drives in Australia.
It must have the best flash memory quality.
Store in title please.
