Didn't know if this really qualified as a gaming deal so it's going in the Other Deals section. Not a huge amount of savings here, but still a couple bucks cheaper than elsewhere.

Anyways, I was browsing Walmart and found a bunch of various Sandisk flash drives on the clearance racks. There were two models of each (a very thin thumbdrive style one, and one that's roughly the size of a bluetooth dongle or mouse/keyboard receiver). Three colors of each, in 16GB and 32GB versions, with no prices marked on their rack or any packages. Price scanner showed $9.97 for the 16GB and $16.97 for the 32GB. 2 Year Limited Warranty, according to the package, which I would assume covers spontaneous drive failure. I picked up a 32GB one just for the sake of having a cheap, discreet, encryptable, and portable high-capacity porn music drive.

Walmart's website only has the 16GB versions, at least as far as I can see. I would assume both versions are priced the same in-store as my experience, but since they were tucked away without any pricing it's definitely a YMMV thing.

The tiny ones might be repackaged Cruzer Fit drives without the cover, although the model number is different (SDCZ15, which according to most Google searches is only sold in India despite the US packaging, and only 8/16GB despite mine very clearly being 32GB). From my tests the read/write speeds seem about right - 24MB/s read, 4MB/s write. I have no idea about the longer one, though.
