    I brought home my thumb drive and immediately formatted it. Apparently, only about 460 GB of memory is usable, which is so much less than I had expected to be able to use. I love all of my other PNY thumb drives, but this one is disappointing. Meh!

    I like this thumb drive. Does what it’s supposed to do, but the cost seems a bit high.

    If you're looking to store photos and such it's okay. If you're looking for speed as in replacing on board smaller rom or drives (internal memory) use sandisk elite pro. That thing smokes!

    This flash drive is a slow. I am kind of disappointed because it responded to read and write very slow. I see other review on this one is fast but my is slow.

    I was using this to watch downloaded movies and tv shows on my smart tv. The flash drive will randomly disconnect from the tv. I have reformatted it, but it’s still losing connection periodically.

    Tried using this 2 times. Both times drive worked ok but eventually ALL usb devices connected to PC would suddenly disconnect/disappear. Best write speed: burst at 111 MB/s Usually 30-35 Mb/s Quite a few periods of 0MB/s Will be returning this.

    Great choice so far

    Just got it, but so far this is the best USB key I've ever purchased. Attached to a USB3.0 socket on the front panel of an ASUS motherboard, I'm getting a more or less sustained 280MB/s transfer rate when copying large-ish files. That deserves a positive review! I'll update this if it fails, but so far I'm quite impressed.
