Customer Reviews

Works quite nicely.
It worked fine in my year old desktop and 3 year old office PC both running XP Pro. I previously bought a Kingston 8GB and that gave write errors in my office PC. Build quality is reasonable. Speed is much the same as all the others you can buy for a similar price. I'm quite happy with it.

Beware when using vista!
Everything seemed ok when first using the stick, 8gig of memory, decent data transfer etc. However, when attempting to move files from an XP machine to a vista machine, I kept getting an error message informing me that the 'media had changed', and it wouldn't copy the vast majority of the files over. The stick would still transfer these files to another xp machine, and the vista machine could still read the files off the stick, it just wouldn't copy them! It seems that this isn't an uncommon problem with vista and some memory sticks, so beware! The stick itself is fine, but just beware crap microsoft operating systems!

Build quality has declined
I've bought PNY attaché flash drives before, and this one feels very flimsy and imprecisely moulded by comparison. It doesn't match the picture on the packaging or the one that Amazon have -- the activity LED has been moved forward so that it's next to the brand writing. I'd assume it was a fake if I'd bought it on eBay, and can only assume PNY have been making cutbacks since the original production run. The only plus side is a bigger lanyard hole than their earlier shells, which is large enough to attach to a keyring... though the plastic probably wouldn't last long with that treatment.

Benchmarks at 17.2Mb/second with HDTune, which is acceptable at the price.
