Challenge: Cheapest bulk package of 512MB or 1GB USB flash drives

Feb 27, 2013 3:21 PM

I want to supply my school library with a bunch of small flash drives that can be checked out.
I'm thinking at least 50 or 100 flash drives. Really we are just trying to find the cheapest bulk buy out there and I was having trouble. Thanks :3

but any help would still be great c:

Sorry, I don't have an answer for you, but I wanted to comment that the thought of getting a bulk order of cheap flash drives would make me worry about whether any of them contain a virus or rootkit that may unknowingly be passed onto the users. Just scary, especially if you're looking for 'cheap' which often means that China is involved somehow.

@90mcg112: It doesn't matter if they arrive infected. If you loan them out to random library patrons they're all going to come back infected before long.

Whatever plan they have for scanning and cleaning returns from the users will also work to verify the initial shipment.

Lots of good suggestions in that other thread. I don't really have much to add to it, except you really should be able to keep the cost per drive below ~$3.50 at most (though maybe a little higher if more capacity is needed). Any higher wouldn't be a good deal.

Since this is for kids, I highly recommend the silicone wrist band drives like you see here:

Really nifty things, and kids are less likely to lose them.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
