Anyone know of a cheap place to buy Kingston flash drives? Specifically SE9 G2’s Working on a product and the cheaper I can get them the better pricing I can hit.
Did you try NCIX?
Yes. they hover around $18 for the 16gb version. I have 5 from there already. Aliexpress has them for around $13USD, and some places on Ebay are $10USD. Just trying to see if I can get the price down if I buy in quantities of say 100.
You might try to send a few messages out on Alibaba. They don’t have prices
listed upfront, you’ll have to send RFQs blah blah you know the drill, you
do manufacturing
Also be prepared to test every single one of them. They’re common
counterfeit items. Fortunately, it’s as simple as plugging them in and have
a script automatically test them, it should be straightforward for someone
to help you do it.
sounds like once I have the script I can have my kid(s) take care of that. I don’t need all that expensive retail packaging either.
If you’re buying 100s, talk to a distributor. I can’t disclose pricing here, but our pricing for single quantities at Ingram is much better than any of the numbers you have quoted.
I wouldn’t ever buy flash memory from AliExpress or eBay. I’m not sure if counterfeiting is still a huge problem, but it once was, there’s no guarantees, and it’s a bit tricky and time consuming to test properly, and impossible to test for reliability. Especially for a commercial product.
