    They may not be the fastest AND they can snap off a key-chain (Hint: use a flexible attachment instead) BUT they wash well! [Done that twice with no ill effects… Phew!]

        And yes, SERIOUSLY. If its USB2, it should state it so people dont have to go digging for that info, even though you may believe that we should all expect it to be USB2 at this price.

        au contraire. I have one of these, the write speeds are really quite slow. It really depends what you are moving. Also, putting it on my key chain, the plastic frame around the usb has cracked (not that it impacts the ability of the drive to work)

        • Oranac on 17/02/2012 - 18:45

          can also depend on how the drive is formatted.
          usually with some trial and error you can match the stated specs with the right file system and large files.

    • team teri on 17/02/2012 - 14:40

    Hey OP why don't you allow buyers to bundle another smaller USB drive if they want rather than receiving store credit later. So that both can be shipped at once and buyers don't have to pay shipping separately.

    • foobar on 17/02/2012 - 14:43

      That's kinda what I'm trying to work out as well, looking through the site for something else I might be interested (for when the credit arrives) but having trouble locating anything of interest that isn't overpriced or with ridiculous shipping costs.

      Found something for $25 but shipping is $15 so it's no longer a $25 item, at $40 I'll pass. Also finding myself on pages where 20 items are listed but 18 of them are "sold out". Frustrating stuff indeed. How long do they leave "sold out" items in lists / searches? Doesn't look like they ever remove them.

      Look at the SSD's for example, not one in stock and the prices have to be months old yet they are all still "coming soon".

    Hi Sales Rep danilochan
    "since this post" as in the beginning of this post or after the price war?.. In the beginning would be fairer for early bird like me (Purchased at $12.95 :( )

  • andyken on 17/02/2012 - 15:47

    cant buy more than 1 :( too bad

  • [Deactivated] on 17/02/2012 - 15:48

    To clarify, the price of the USB stick is NOT $4.95 after rebate. You actually have to buy 1 usb stick at full price to receive Store Credit Rebate. Therefore, your SECOND usb stick will be $4.95.

    So it would make sense to buy two USB sticks at $10.95 with $6 rebate ($12 total rebate) then purchase an additional usb stick using store credit. Average price per unit = $7.30.

    Bazinga!

    A store credit it far from making it $4.95, we still need to spend it at your (overpriced) store.

    • team teri on 17/02/2012 - 19:55
      +1

      To be honest: ShoppingSquare is in the business of selling things at a profit. There probably isn't much in it for them at $10.95 and $4.95 would have to be a loss.
      So yes, the $4.95 is a promotional gimmick. And I agree, it should not be called 'out of pocket'.

      All up this is a good deal nevertheless, well worth of a '+' vote. I gave it some thought at $12.95. I snapped it up at $10.95, before even knowing about the store credit. Whether I ever use those $6 will depend on whether they have any good specials later on.

      The drive is not fast by any means, but it is reliable and the form factor is a big bonus over the cruzer for example.

      • fchis on 17/02/2012 - 21:17

        Frankly, I suspect they make any profit out of it after ebay/paypal/postage fees but it's an excellent marketing exposure to generate heaps of traffics to their future sales!

    SPEED TEST RESULTS

    I got one this week - Sandisk Cruzer Blade 16GB USB 2.0

    NIRSOFT USB Deview…

    4.66MB/sec Write - 17.49 MB/sec Read

    HD TUNE PRO v4.6.1

    Peak read about 24MB/sec for blocks over 64K in size

    Write speed peaks at about 11MB/sec at 32KB, but then it drops STRAIGHT down to a flatline 2.5MB/sec for larger files 64KB and larger.

    So what that means is that when you use it for anything except TINY files, the speed is absolutely frigging dreadful.

    CRYSTAL DISKMARK v3.0.1

    I only tested the first 50MB, because I almost died waiting for a full test and aborted it.

    Sequential Read : 18.785 MB/s
    Sequential Write : 3.629 MB/s

    Random Read 512KB : 20.631 MB/s
    Random Write 512KB : 2.109 MB/s

    Random Read 4KB (QD=1) : 3.517 MB/s
    Random Write 4KB (QD=1) : 0.928 MB/s

    Random Read 4KB (QD=32) : 4.129 MB/s
    Random Write 4KB (QD=32) : 0.232 MB/s

    Date : 2012/03/01 13:56:22

    BOTTOM LINE = PAINFULLY SLOW.

    I've just retracted my "+" for this deal - SS are a bunch of liars and all deals from them should be banned on the basis that the site is known for fraud!

    An enquiry with SS yesterday (1 March 2012) about the store coupon for $8 (paid $12.95), returned this response:

    "Hi,

    Please be advised that you will receive an e-mail today confirming your store credit. Please wait until evening.

    Needless to say I received no email as of yet and a check of my SS account shows no coupon. SS should be the posterboy of how to totally screw up what would have been a great PR deal (seems all too common practioce these days).

    Tomorrow I will be raising a paypal dispute in relation to the transaction. I seriously would not have bought from SS (would have bought it from the other guys they were in a price battle with) had it not been for the store credit!

          There is NO VOUCHER!
          Just a suggestion, you keep referring to a voucher and coupon in your posts. As this is clearly stated to be 6000 rewards points, have you checked your My Reward Points in your SS account?

          Almost all posting got the email & points. I got my 6000 from eBay purchase & PayPal. SS said to contact them if the points did not arrive, so they must be prepared for a few mistakes with so many orders.

          brucefromaustralia - The rep in this post uses the term "store credit" and I see no reference to it "clearly" being stated to be 6000 rewards from the rep. When one looks at their SS account - there is no "credit" tab, so the assumption would be issued as a discount voucher.

          Before posting anything, I checked all possible ways this could be "credited" and that included checking the reward points. To date, there is no credit applied, be it by voucher or reward points. If there is any confusion, it started from lack of details from the rep when posting the "credit". Further, the rep made reference to dollars and not points, therein suggesting further it would be by voucher and not reward points.

          SS have had 2 weeks to iron out any mistakes and they nominated the date when the credit would be applied. I followed up SS on 1 March and was told again "see cut and past above" it would be applied.

          To be honest, I don't particularly care except to apply it to a low value item to get my money back, but there are many alternative retailers I can choose from for any future purchases of items SS sell. As already stated, these guys go to the expense of making a good promotion and then reverse any good will from not following through. If they can't organise themselves within 2 weeks, they sound like either a two bit organisation or an extremely disorganised one one!

          That's the problem with both assumptions & poorly executed promotions like this. Confused me until I got the email.

          I was referring to the posts before you complained on the other deal. You had already responded to firepowered 2 days ago who posted a copy of the email setting out the store credit would be automatically given as Rewards Points. Unfortunately, firepowered responded about a 'voucher', so you still thought it was a voucher.

          Sorry for giving you a hard time, but I know what happened when the lawyers started pulling what I wrote to bits - an unpleasant experience. Truth is an expensive defense!!

          Contact SS, as it is a mistake by them. Mind you, when you add on the cheapest shipping ($1.95 for a memory card yesterday), there will be little left of a cheap deal. Good luck :-)
