First time post. It looks like Officeworks may have responded to the Amazon Au special posted here previously. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/738634. I couldn't see this special on their advertised Black Friday catalogue or their Nov/Dec one either. I would assume it's for the duration of Black Friday period.

Usually retails $69.00 at Officeworks, or $50.00 elsewhere. Price history at Camels: https://au.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B00YFI1A66

The 128 GB is also on special at Officeworks for $17.51. Usually $38.85 at Officeworks, I bought two last week at Bing Lee for $29.00 each.

The 64 GB version at Officeworks is showing at $22.00, for a comparison for value discount amount. per GB. It's more expensive that the 128 GB currently, and almost on par with the 256 GB on price.

Check your local Officeworks store on availability, different stores are showing limited stocks, whilst some are not. (From some of the Sydney metro store I viewed).

  Write speed is only 40MB/s which is much slower than most good microSD cards. If you are mainly going to use as a read only device this might be acceptable, but for my purposes it would be unsuitable.

          @DDman7: If you are using the device to transport or backup more than 200GB of data, then the time becomes important.

          If people are going to use it more like a library for videos or ISO, where reading is the main activity and then only part of it, then write speeds are less important.

  For those that needs the speed, $74.53 still a good deal:

  Thanks OP, well done, perhaps one of the best BF buys.
  Bought 4, I might need more to download The Internet.

  NB: When I purchased there were plenty of item purchase cards on the shelf which you present to the counter, but only a small number (2) of stock behind the counter.
  Question: How can you get more on hold, at the reduced price ?
