The last one a few weeks ago sold out, it can be seen here:
http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/71184

Old link states out of stock, new link is here:
http://www.ozgameshop.com/flash-memory/verbatim-49065-64gb-p…

I ordered one last time, there was lots of comments about the slow 4mbps write speed.

If you look at the Verbatim website it says minimum write speed is 4mbps and not maximum.
I use it to transfer a lot of videos and games and write speeds are on average 10mbps.
Read speeds are on average 25mbps.
Althoug max write has been 21mbps and max read has been 50mbps.

I have ordered another one as I am extremely happy with the performance, price and quality.

Edit
$5 off code expired on 15th of June, from $30.99 up to $35.99

Edit
Price changed, cost is $36.99 now

        Ozgameshop are legit, have bought a lot of games from them in the past. It's cheap because its coming from the UK.

      • RideCurbs on 15/06/2012 - 08:52

        I agree with Saaaaaad,

        I have bought from them about 15 times in the last 2 years, very legit store, based in the UK so allow 2-3 weeks for delivery, but it always arrives :)

      • bought on 15/06/2012 - 09:11

        My purchase from them arrived, although took about two weeks (think it was Royal Mail + AUS Post). I was surprised to find out they were actually a UK company. Why OZGamesShop?!!!

          They trade under a few names http://www.365games.co.uk/ being one, ozgameshop is really just to cater/appeal to Australian customers, lots of UK store realizing we're a decent sized market for them.

        • bought on 15/06/2012 - 09:26
          +1

          i like they deliver for free… on average you pay 5 bucks for delivery in AUS. wondering why?

        • xavster on 15/06/2012 - 09:43

          royal mail is very good.

        • Adamiam on 15/06/2012 - 10:25

          They factor shipping costs into their price.
          They also price everything in AUD, even though it's really a UK store.
          These two things help to make it easier for us Aussies!

        • youknow on 15/06/2012 - 12:19

          In short, our postage costs (sending within/from Australia), subsidise these incoming deliveries. Most (not all) countries tend to deliver incoming mail and packages from overseas at no cost, in exchange they expect other contries to do the same etc. Of course, to get mail "out the door" of a country like China or Honk Kong etc, costs next to nothing (as does delivery within those countries). However within Australia it costs a lot, because of the large distances involved and the expensive labour, and generally high levels of service. These other countries are not paying Australia for this "last mile" of delivery, but of course Australia post need to recoup that from somewhere (ie. us, when we send local/OS letters/packages). Now, I know the UK is not China, but their "internal" postage costs are low (the UK is the size of a postage stamp!). There are many other factors, and i'm over simplifiying, but in short, when you send your 50gram package 10kms via AusPOst for $5, know that you are subsidising a Chinese seller posting to you, who paid about 10cents to send that same package from China to Australia.

        • aec on 15/06/2012 - 19:13
          -6

          Hongkong is not a country.and apparently you know nothing about China and possibly not much about uk and us. 10 cent? Lol! You will not get you thing delivered anywhere! No matter how much it weighs, even 1 gram! Also "generally high level of services"? You know, you don't know.

        • youknow on 15/06/2012 - 20:26
          +2

          @alwayseric: Yes, Hong Kong is technically not a country (but it may as well be), and although I implied it, I didn't actually say it was (said a country like China or Hong Kong - not countries like…) Anyway.. more importantly….

          As for 10 cents, that may be a slight exageration. However, here you can find the actual rates: http://www.hongkongpost.com/eng/postage/overseas/bulk/index.…

          At the time of writing 1 Hong Kong dollar = 0.128375336 Australian dollars
          So, for example, a 20gram package to just about anywhere in the world: 29.5 cents (Aus)
          up to a 50gram rackage= 45 cents (Aus)

          Conceptually what I said was true, maybe the details were not 100% correct. Not sure why you took offence to it, however I see you have a history of helpful advice.

  • blazer on 15/06/2012 - 12:05

    not being picky or anything but I would like to point out to the OP that mbps = megabits per second.

    Thus dividing the megabits by 8 will give you megabytes.

    4 mbps as stated would in fact be ~0.5 megabytes/sec.

    Wouldn't neg it but really after having used a USB3.0 drive I wouldn't touch a USB2 drive at this price, ie. would rather have a 4-5x faster 32GB Lexar Jumpdrive for that price. Depends whether you treat your thumb drive as storage or as a transfer medium I guess.

    • auna on 18/06/2012 - 12:07

      Yeah it certainly isn't 5 times cheaper than an USB 3 drive!

  • daver on 17/06/2012 - 18:06

    We have enjoyed some good memory prices this month;

    10/06 $08(16gb) $0.52/gb

    15/06 $30(64gb) $0.48/gb

    And helping recently the $AU coming back to parity. Nice.

    ^^Dont suppose any local e-tailers at hand to save ob'ers a few shipping dollars, able to get a 32 gig in there at say 15 AUD, therefore $0.46/gb?

    Recently noted some generic/ Class 4 stuff coming on ebay closing in on 15 AUD =32gb

    Similarly, tracking @camelcamelcamel SanDisk 32GB MicroSDHC High Speed Class 4 has that card indicated for 15 dollars, sliding lower each month.

    That said, for a true bargain I'd anticipate rated Class 6- 32gb would be my requirement, therefore I could be looking closer to July, for costing to be on schedule with depreciation.

    • Chris on 06/07/2012 - 12:48

      Ugghhhh!!!

      Let me re-evaluate my post.

      My stick was DOA. It won't complete a format and it randomly disappears from the device manager.

      As the stick was in its original packaging when it arrived the problem obviously lies with Verbatim rather than OzGameShop but OGS were nice about the situation and were happy to provide a refund. I did want a replacement but unfortunately they were out of stock.

      Don't know how long refunds take to process but we'll see.
