This thumb drive freezes a lot. I have a windows 7 machine.

I just both it less than a month ago and it already doesn’t work anymore, and furthermore, I lose a lot of very important data because of that. I will go back to return it and to see if I can recover my data, or at least part of it. SO IN CONCLUSION: DON’T BUY THIS PRODUCT AT ALL! IT WILL NOT WORK AFTER JUST FEW DAYS, IF IT IS EXACTLY AS MINE!!!!!!

The write speed is a joke. The maximum speed I can get using a disk tester is around 15 MB/s. The actual writing of files is slower.

After 2 weeks, none of my PC's recognize this drive. The light flashes weekly one time and I get a message "This USB Mass Storage Device can transfer information faster if you connect it to a Super-Speed USB 3.0 port ". The port is 3.0 so I don't know. I also tried many other ports and nothing. Also checked on-line solutions, nada. As usual, I chunked the packaging and receipt so no $$$ back for me. This is the first flash drive (out of 25+ I have used) that has ever failed.......(insert non-smiley face).

consistent flash drive for the money Never had a problem.

If I could give it less than one star I would. It was an out of box failure and had to immediately return for refund. I plugged it into my USB port and my computer recognized it and it installed properly. However, when copying files to the drive, it stopped half way through and whatever files it did copy, they were all corrupted. Formatting the drive didn't help, and the problem occurred on three different computers. I returned for full refund and purchased something else, another brand.

Everytime I used it in my laptop, the program I was transferring my videos & photos from to put on the PNY Flash Drive would freeze up. Everything completely froze to the point I couldn't even end the task(s) by proper shut down. I had to take the battery out of my laptop, put the battery back in & turn it on & wait for it to bring up the log in screen. Happened 6 out of 10 times when I used the PNY. I transferred the videos on the PNY to a different brand flash drive & threw the PNY in a drawer where it will stay. Not worth all the problems this flash drive caused. Never buying this again.

Flash drive works perfect other than it takes a couple of tries to actually show up on my pc. Tried different ports and same thing

Needed to transfer data to a coppier from my computer

It’s works and everything is good but it’s not 256gb

Grandson requested and found exactly what he needed

My wife bought this for my son and so far so good.

Product works OK just wasn't compatible with my car.

I'm not sure who to be more upset with. PNY for manufacturing such garbage or bestbuy for selling me this trash and then making the return process a giant headache. DO NOT BUY THIS JUNK. Not only is it the most tight fitting usb flash drive I've ever used but sliding it open and closed is next to impossible. It's almost like they want you to break it on accident with normal use. Reading other reviews I'm not the only one to experience this. You can find out the hard way if you really want to.

This product was good until i couldn't transfer a large file. This is only build for smaller sized files. 20 gig and down

Best Buy refused to honor the shelf tag price and insisted that the exact same item with a different UPC was somehow worth quite a bit more. They stocked the item with the tag for PNY 256GB thumb drive. They should have honored that price.

Worst god awful thumb drive I've ever had. USB 3.0 is a joke on this thing. It took 12 minutes to move 1gb of data, plugged into a USB 3.0 slot. My free thumb drive from Micro Center is 50 times faster than this garbage. Then halfway through watching a movie on my TV and the movie throws up an error code. Now the drive is unrecognizable. I tried to use their recovery software. Nothing. DO NOT BUY THIS FLASH DRIVE.

Pay the extra 10 for the better quality or you are at the mercy of same brand that does not function as well.

The Geek Squad purchased this on my behalf to save my files from a dead computer. I hardly ever use thumb drives and prefer larger capacity external hard drives. This one is very hard to use!

Writing speed is terribly slow. Otherwise good value.
