On sale, great price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The drive works as intended. Not ideal for laptop or tablet due to size. It is in between a full size USB and a Nano size USB. I bought it because it was on sale for $6.00. Eight GB'S for six bucks, sure sign me up. I use it for ready boost, and use a different one for my laptop and tablet, a Nano size one for fluidity. With a Nano you don't have to worry about breaking the drive. You just have to worry about losing it.

Poor Flash Memory Quality
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this a couple of months ago and have consistently used it, nearly on a daily basis. PROS: Size, capacity and looks. It doesn't have a cap, which is a BIG PLUS for me. Just another thing to keep track of and, most likely, would get lost. CONS: I've tried both normal usage and it converted to a TrueCrypt Traveler Disk. Basically in both circumstances, after a set number of uses, the drive becomes corrupt and has to be reformatted. This has happened a bunch of times. Thank goodness I'm IT-literate so I'm able to rescue most of my files when it last stops working using Linux tools, etc. Having said that, I have several other USB Drives from other manufacturers which I use nearly daily and have never come across the issue this unit has. I haven't done any kinds of tests on it, or the 16GB version that I own, but the only culprit is low-quality flash memory. CONCLUSION: This might be a good solution for occasional usage, but not for a daily one.

Slow transfer speed
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased 3 of these because of sale price of $5.99 great price for 8gb. This Flash Drive is defiantly not worth full price of $17.99, Very slow transfer speed only around 4 MB.per second, compared to my Toshiba Flash Drive That Transfers Around 12 MB. per second. Also has kind of A tight fit when plugging into ports, But sure will be a little better after some wear in time.

PNY does not work with Honda Civic i-Mid
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this drive, because I wanted to listen to music in my car. Honda Civic i-Mid system is unable to read this drive. I wrote a new partition table and formatted it multiple times and still nothing. I tried SanDisk and Microcenter drives and both worked fine. Save your money and buy a different brand flash drive.

Poor shell design, plastic breaks easily
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Connection to key ring is a poor design that breaks easily. Loss in a public place could be a file liability issue.

Short Term Storage Only
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this item to back up music files on my computer. Occasionally, I'd add more files as my collection grew. I used this as an emergency back-up in case my computer ever failed. After 3 months, the product failed. My computer no longer recognized the drive and wouldn't let me access my files.I tried it on another computer and still wasn't able to access my files.

It didn't fit into a USB Port
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A manufacturing defect made it so the flash drive I purchased did not fit into a USB 2.0 slot. I tried calling PNY tech support which turns out to be an automated phone system with no live operators. If you have a better option I would recommend any other metal flash drive as this is poor quality.
