This USB hits all the marks: ample memory great price speedy performance small size Brilliant!

Have it running the OS for a Rasberry Pi, seems to do just fine. Gets pretty hot in the USB bay when used a lot, but to be expected when the storage is inside the connector

Got a couple of these to use in my cars. At 256GB, they hold all the music I care to have in my car. Not sure what else to say, it's a thumb drive, it either works or it doesn't. Both of mine worked fine. It gets a little toasty when transferring a lot of files. It's thin plastic, might not be good if you're actually keeping it in your pckets, or backpack (mine get plugging into my head unit and stay there till I need to update with new music.) I imagine it's easy to lose, it's TINY. I put a zip tie through the little hook loop it's got.

Great USB drive. Very fast, compact, and sturdy. Liked it so much I've purchased more of them. Very handy.

Small, runs hot, runs fast, does its job well without fail.

Plenty of space, needed it too since i use a laptop. Decent data transfer speed too.

Great little flash drive. Super fast. 256GB well worth the price!

I like its speed! The size is very small, which makes it perfect to have attached to the laptop if it has lack of memory!

Perfect lil drive I use for music on my motorcycle stereo. Works as it's supposed too.

This lives in my laptop, which over the past year has been in use probably 10-12 hours a day. My music collection lives on it, so it's not just sitting there! I haven't tested the speed, because for my daily use it doesn't matter. What matters is that in almost a year I've never had a performance issue & it's never felt hot, even under long continuous use. It's a bit pricy at retail, but definitely worth it if caught on sale!

Incredible amount of storage space in such a small easy to use “thumbnail” drive. Very fast speed.

So far so good. I think someone said these get hot because of the size maybe? I used it to record a video from a device that was about an hour and thirty minutes. It worked fine and didn't feel hot to the touch. I reformatted it to exfat so that the video file doesn't get divided up every 4-gigabytes.

I have several of these drives and have never been disappointed. Fast data transfer, compact size, included security software, reliability and value make this one of the best flash drives on the market. It's also the best size to use in the car. Buy this if you're looking for a USB flash drive to transfer data to and from.

When you buy a laptop these days, the hard disks are not usually excessively large. I know we're all supposed to keep all our stuff on the cloud, I'm old school and I want it literally in my hands. I bought this to supplement the storage on a new laptop. It's great for storing my data files and documents. And the nice thing is that it sticks so little out from the USB slot that you can keep it in and have no problem slipping into a sleeve or case.

Very small and very easy to carry and it come with good storage capacity.

This ultracompact 256gb USB 3.1 flash drive is very small and easy to transport but also easy to misplace. Also the part of flash drive that is inserted into the USB port is exposed and does not have a retractable cover to protect it during storage or transport. The easy fix was to use the disposable plastic HDMI connector cover that comes with the purchase of all HMDI cable and use that as USB port cover. Other than that no other problems with this USB flash drive

Very compact and reliable. Great price for that much storage

Love the compact size and minimal protrusion while still easy to install/remove. Using it as local storage for my Blink sync module and cameras. Stored media seems to record well and easily removed when cleaning out storage space. Stays cool while in 14/7 use. Great deal @$25.

I love these mini flashdrives. They are very reliable when you buy from a quality company like PNY and they are small enough to not get in the way on my laptop or in my car. Beware of flashdrives that seem to be too cheap for the amount of storage they advertise. They usually fail and you lose all the info they had on them.

I have used the older 32GB version for several years now, so I was happy to see this higher capacity model. This little gem fits inside the USB port cover in my car for a clean, unobtrusive look. It provides me the storage I need to hold most of my music collection as well as some photos for my vehicles entertainment system. It is fast to write to, and dissipates heat well in an enclosed space under continuous use. When used in a laptop, it sticks out only enough to grab onto to remove.
