This is my first purchase of this type of flash drive. At first I wasn't sure if it would be something that could work for me. Nevertheless, I decided to purchase it anyway and am glad I did. The "monkey-tail" design may seem odd at first, but once you start using, you'll realize that it is VERY practical and will save you a lot of time. If you are like me and use a flash drive often, then you know that it always gets buried at the bottom of your backpack, laptop case/sleeve, pocket, etc....making you lose valuable time when you could be working on whatever it is you're doing. With this flash drive, however, that is no longer an issue because it very easily attaches well to anything with a "loop", ( i.e. a backpack, laptop case, pocket, etc.)
Make sure it attaches well, though, because if you leave it loose, it will fall off. Also, when you attach it to something, make sure to keep the cap on so the flash drive is protected in case it falls (which it definitely will).
Overall, a very good product that I use often and has served me well. Not one problem with it!!!!

My daughter needed a new thumb drive for school. While going through Best Buy she spotted this. The design is actually pretty cool. The little curly thing is kinda like one of those slap bands. She can put it on her belt loop , book bag zipper , lunchbox , or even a necklace. Only thing I see wrong , wish it had a small tether for the cover. I can see it getting missaced or lost. The cover fits on nice and snug so I don't think it will fall off, just think it will get lost over time.

Neat idea for carrying flash drive

This PNY flash drive is a clever way to transport data. It has a bright color so that it can be seen easily.
A special thing I do when I remove the end cap that keeps the dust, etc off the usb end, is that I put the end of the curved "tail" into the dust cap. That way I remember to put it back on and I don't lose it.
I found that by holding the dust cover cap on the edges, I can remove it easier.

Does what it says it does. It holds data! I enjoy the "monkey tail" - makes it easy to attach to a purse strap for easy access and so it doesn't get lost. There isn't really a handy place to keep the cap that belongs on the metal end, though - I tend to lose little things like that, so for a quick fix I actually stuck it on the end of the tail perpendicularly.

Works just as expected. Needed it to load videos that I could watch on a smart TV. Avoided more expensive and complex workarounds.

I bought several of these for the boys for school as flash drive was listed on their School Supply List. These were ideal because they were small and easy to carry. They also have the tail on them which makes them easy to attach to things--and harder to lose than the typical flash drives.

Friends Romans country men lend me your ears. This has been the greatest gift anyone could ever ask for, from a wonderful store. I don't understand the bazaar that is Best Buy. Does the almighty know of such a place. I don't understand what kind of witchcraft this usb device is, I mean it can store lots of information. Is this legal, what madman would authorized such sorcery to exist on earth. I am pretty sure this is from Kepler 11. Friends of the interwebs please seek out the sorcerer behind this black magic and report him/her to the proper authorities. Until this evil vile beast is found. I recommend you go out and collect all of the shekels you can find. Get in your chariot and get to Best Buy before this mythical enchanting device is removed from the store.
I am using this as a boot device for nas4free it works great.

I bought this for my son for school. The price was reasonable. I like the fact that it came in a color other than blk, as it stands out from other flash drives. I also like that my son can attach it to his binder and it is not at easy to lose.

This is an awesome little gadget. Ample storage for my "Brag Book". The retractable cord ensures safe keeping for me. Attached to my keys means it leaves when I do. Other saw it and loved it, so I purchased more for stocking stuffer this past Christmas. With 8gb it has many uses. Get one you won't regret it.
