Was looking for 64GB USB flash drives for kids high school book list and came across this deal.
Big W had 64GB USB2.0 around $9-11 , this one is 64GB USB3.0 at $9.95
I have used Verbatim since the old school floppy disks in the 1980s.
Website claims that USB3.0 technology is up to 10x faster than USB2.0.

Hopefully filling it will take the whole school year…
Verbatim was a rock solid brand back in the day.
But they sell some really slow usb's with really slow read and write speeds these days.
(I doubt they actually make it… And just rebrand some other OEM product).
But cheap is cheap, so 2 thumbs up.
What’s the cheapest / largest usb for putting movies on for my granny’s usb port on her tv, team?
For a large USB with reasonable cost, look at putting a 512GB or 1TB micro-SD card into a small card reader. But some TVs and STBs won't work with card readers, so try it out before ordering the card.
Some card readers are smaller than FIT USB drives, ones like this: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B001MQBRJE
It's not obvious from the photos, the micro-SD card slots into the front end of the USB plug. You should be able to find a similar reader for under $10.
You may also have to re-format the card to get the TV to recognise it. All SD cards larger than 32GB come formatted as EXFAT, you may have to reformat it as VFAT or possibly NTFS. The TV's instruction manual should tell you this, and may also say there's a maximum size limitation (my STB won't handle USB devices with larger than 1TB storage, for example).
The technology is faster, but not this stick. Don't be surprised if filling it will take hours.
