I bought this because it is USB3 supposed to be faster read and write. And this replaced the original USB2 flash drive. It turns out that this one is slower than my original USB2 flash drive. A total waste of money!

I have a 64GB USB 3.0 flash drive write speeds amazing. 20gb transfer takes about 85 seconds, bought this one because it was on sale and to transfer 18gbs it took 19 mins save your money

Only works on one computer. Still trying to figure out why. Couldn't find drivers and you can't update firmware when the computer doesn't see it.

Stopped working after 5 days. It was detected as some type of device but not as a USB. Tried it on 3 different computers. Same result. I was always careful to dismount it properly. I tossed it in the garbage because that's where it belonged.

Here is some test data. I used linux and the dd utility to write and read a 1 GiB file on this drive using a block size of 4 MiB(*), using both USB3 and USB2. The results: USB3: Write 28.5 MiB/s, Read 56.3 MiB/s USB2: Write 26.2 MiB/s, Read 31.8 MiB/s Note that USB3 is not significantly faster than USB2 for writing. Writing speed is limited by the write speed of the memory, not the USB speed. On the other hand, reading is faster with USB3, because the read speed of the memory is faster than the transfer speed of USB2. This drive is relatively fast compared to some other name-brand USB flash drives of this size and price. I have seen some similar USB3 drives with write speeds as low as 4 MB/s. What's the point of USB3, you may ask? I have two of these drives. I got the first one to use with a set-top converter/PVR and I needed a cheap, fast drive that could keep up with real-time HD digital video recording. This works fine. I liked the drive so much that I bought a second to use with my laptop. A few notes: 1) Whatever flash drive you get, make sure you have return privileges in case the drive you get is too slow for your needs. 2) This drive is formatted FAT32 out of the box. Note that FAT32 limits file size to 4 GiB. If you plan to put large multi-media files on it you will probably want to reformat it to exFAT. (*) MiB is binary megabytes; that is, 1 MiB is 2^20 bytes.

Best Buy recommends the PNY brand and time and time again it fails. This is the worst. I purchased this and a week later it ust dies on me. Not worth purchasing this brand.

Don't be fooled by the look of this. It's not good at all. Every time I try to use this it tells me something about copyright files but they're just pictures from my camera. I went with scandisk and had no problems.

Bought this on sale, plugged into pc and it says IT IS ONLY 230 gb. "missing 26gb, (REALLY ?) Will be returning it tommorrow.

It worked til I started transferring date to it, then is died. Returned for another new one, and that one did the same thing!! Never took it back!! I wouldn't recommend it!! Has never happened with any other USB drive I have bought!!

Exceptional product. I caught a sale and got this large capacity USB 3.0 drive for under $50! I just couldn't resist and I'm so glad I didn't resist. I have been using it for large files (HD video). It transfers these huge files fast and sure! It plays the videos flawlessly and loads them extremely fast. I would absolutely recommend this to my best friends (and I have).

Unfortunately, this didn't work for backing up my Mac for some reason. I have to return it. Maybe is a defective unit, because it's supposed to work with Macs.

Can barley download anything and often times disconnects randomly

Very bad and unreliable don not buy just a worning

Keeps saying it is corrupt. Don't recommend this USB

Speeds were ok for the first 5 min of transferring an 88GB file but then failed once the drive got extremely warm. A different device worked fine but was frustrating.

I bought this memory stick and it was working intermittently. I would be able to start copying files over to it but it would just stop being recognized by the computer. This happened multiple times. I returned it.

Good value but writes super slow for a 3.1 usb flash drive

Drive worked fine at first but failed after a few months. I have Lexar and SanDisk thumb drives that I have used regularly for years with no problems. I would avoid PNY and stick with the better brands.

I bought this flash drive to use with my Tesla Model 3 and the Dashcam. The drive writes too slow so fails. Buyer beware.

Out of box defective, called company, warranty only 1 year. Box opened over 1 year after purchase, since we bought few when was on sale.
