Can't be delivered to my pin code. Good deal if it does to you.
If any item on amazon shows "Free Delivery" without an estimated delivery date/timeline on product page, it's a pricing error or item is not available.
In this case it's a pricing error for sure.
 
Large discounts like this usually involve heavy/oversize items that were returned by a customer. So delivery is restricted to that original pincode/area, either to minimize the loss of transporting to another area or if the outer carton is compromised.

I usually see it with fitness equipment, like 18k threadmills being discounted to 6k.
 
From reviews I can see that the 32G version does 100MB/s reads and 40MB/s writes, in the seq 1GB x5 test. The 128G version should perform even better. 100+ is already higher than the theoretical throughout of USB2.0 .
Read some of the Amazon reviews and the drive does drop to around 12-15 MBps quite quickly. The interface doesn't matter as the NAND quality is quite cheap. It has minimal cache that meets the marketing claim for short sequential bursts. Compared to SSD, the situation is worse for the pen drives.

It is not to say that you cannot get drives with sustained speeds of over 200 MBps but those cost 2.5-3k for 128 GB, so you get what you pay for with the cheaper drives.

Guess it's better to buy a 128GB ssd instead of this slow drive. Even a cheap dram-less ssd would be faster.
