AData s102 256GB USB 3.0 flash drive $94.99
MilesAhead:
I put a watch on camel cubed(camelcamelcamel.com) awhile ago to notify me if the AData s102 USB 3.0 flash drive 256GB model broke a hundred bucks. I got the email. The price was $94.99 so I had to go for it.

Supposedly there is only one left. :)
This flash drive has mid range to good performance. But I like it because that is coupled with rugged construction and reliability. I have a 32GB a 64GB and 2 128GB of this model. None have given me a problem. The sequential read and write numbers come in as expected for large file transfers.
I think I paid close to $90 for the first 128GB s102. The second I got for less than $40. I have been waiting for the 256GB to break a hundred bucks. Looks like the price is finally starting to crumble for that capacity.
Edit:
Apparently there is a performance bonus on the 256GB capacity drive. I thought perhaps Amazon got it wrong because earlier I could not find any other location with their numbers. But AData's data sheet bears it out:

Up to 200 MB/s sequential read and up to 120 MB/s sequential write for large files. Now I am happier I pushed the button. :up:

Aleph null bottles of beer on the wall,

Aleph null bottles of beer on the wall!

Heh heh heh. The best thing about a null bottle of beer is cops can't smell it on your breath. :Thmbsup:

Weird but they seem to have somehow got more in stock over night and put the price up, top that off with shipping and import fees and it's no longer a good buy for those of use across the pond :(
Price: $116.99 + $35.67 Shipping & Import Fees Deposit to Ireland

For some reason they seem reluctant to discount the 256GB model. Newegg had the 128 GB for about $44 shipped(to those in the contiguous 48 states of the U S of A.) But I waited a bit more and got a 15% discount code on top of that. Came to about $37 or so delivered.
Maybe because the 256GB has higher transfer speeds they think they can move them? I don't know. Good thing I had that camel cubed notification set up or I probably would have missed it.
