If you're one of those who still has a use for these little flash drives… they come in decent capacities at a decent price now. Doing my pre-black-friday shopping and noticed that the 256GB version is not too far off the lowest ever price of $72.42.

I was interested in the 256GB version and it's more than sufficient for my needs, however, the following variants are also available:
128GB for $58.46 - might require prime to qualify for free delivery
1TB for for $180.67

  These are great for running as the OS disk on a raspberry pi, far more reliable than an sd card.
  You may be able to pricematch with officeworks.

  The Transcend ESD310 is a pretty worthy competitor to the CZ880, it uses the newer SM2320 controller which has a native USB interface, and the power draw seems to be a lot lower than bridged solutions (around 2.8W max). On top of that this can do 10Gbps USB as well.

  Isnt the 1TB Samsung T7 at $98 a much deal than this 256GB Sandisk at $73? What are pros of this USB drive compared to the T7? Genuine question.

    Yes, faster and more reliable but a little less portable.
