Flash Drives in Bulk: is it even possible?

[JohnBoucher]

I just had to purchase 50 quickly. 512mb Kingston's at Staples $7.90/ea

newegg.com and tigerdirect.com usually have good deals on these things, that might be a good place to look

What is your definition of mass quantities?

it can be easily done for cheap if your definition is right. If you are in the electronics engineering business and the volume is right your Avnet rep can get this done. I had a rep in my office recently and we talked about this very subject.

If it is less than 'mass quantities' then a trinket house might be the way to go.

FLL gave their volunteers in Atlanta flash drives in the shape of wristbands. I don't recall the capacity right now. You might contact FLL support in Manchester.

Has 256 for 3.99 and 1 GB for 6.99 and 2 GB for 11.99. They are the cheapest I have found.

Mass quantities = at least 100. Will probably be increasing if all goes well.

Thanks for the links everybody, I have forwarded them to the person I am working with, hopefully he can go from there.

For NEMO = the number of FRC teams.
FTC and FLL too, but distribution might be an issue.

If you get out past a thousand then things start making sense and you can even have the units custom printed.
