Nice and Flash-y
I've obtained a couple of these-- one 512MB and one 1GB-- and have been using them for the last year. I've used them to store everything from college writing assignments to eBay photos to (of course) backup copies of my Amazon customer product reviews. So far I've no complaints about either drive; each has proven quite reliable, and reasonably easy to access from just about every USB-ported PC I've plugged them into. The only real inconvenience is the waiting a few extra moments for the PC to re...

Too Fragile
This review is from: PNY P-FD1GBATT2-FS 1GB Attache USB 2.0 Flash Drive (Electronics) Despite my care in handling this drive, it snapped on me within a month of ownership. It appears as if the actual hardware inside the clear plastic casing broke loose, rendering the device unusable. I thought it was just my bad luck until I saw from these reviews that others have had similar experiences with this product's flimsyness. The drive contained years of work and if I ha...

It does what it says at affordable price.
This review is from: PNY P-FD1GBATT2-FS 1GB Attache USB 2.0 Flash Drive (Electronics) First USB flash Drive I've ever used. Does exactly what it states. easy transition from PC to PC(USB driver load/recoqnition time depends on the PC) File speed seems to be on par with any other memory cards I've used in the past(SD, CF, Micro Drive) comes with a detachable lanyard so that you can wear it around your neck, which is a big plus.

XP and Vista problems
This review is from: PNY Attache 4 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive (Black) (Electronics) I bought two PNY 4GB Attache USB 2.0 Flash Drives only to find that they would not play with XP/SP3 with up to date drivers but worked on my Vista laptop. At least for a while. The flash drive becomes write protected, when IE7 hiccups, sets the volume write protection and permission cannot be restored with either XP or Vista OS. These are now useless as they cannot be reformatted or accessed. ...

Stopped working
This review is from: PNY P-FD1GBATT2-FS 1GB Attache USB 2.0 Flash Drive (Electronics) I've been using this flash drive for about 6 months. It worked just fine going between Macs and PC's. I only used it for backing up, so it wasn't on a day to day basis. Then the other day it just stopped working. It would show up on the computers but you couldn't even access it to reformat it. I took it to get looked at and I was told it's dead and there's no way to retrieve my informat...

It's not bad, but...
This review is from: PNY P-FD1GBATT2-FS 1GB Attache USB 2.0 Flash Drive (Electronics) It's pretty decent, but I've started carrying more copies of important documents around for backup. Not music, but actually important stuff that I would be in trouble to lose.PNY's is decent, but I recently got a Corsair flash drive. It is about 10x faster. The Corsair is much better. And I don't work for Corsair and don't have stock in them. But if you plug a Corsair in, yo...

DO NOT BUY THIS DRIVE UNLESS YOU LOVE THROWING MONEY AWAY
This review is from: PNY P-FD1GBATT2-FS 1GB Attache USB 2.0 Flash Drive (Electronics) I teach at a technology school and I see lots of Flash memory drives come and go. EVERY SINGLE PNY DRIVE I'VE EVER SEEN HAS COME APART WITHIN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. Sometimes it's two weeks. Sometimes a month. It depends on how often it's used. But the bottom line is that the units are poorly built and they WILL break internally sooner or later. What always happ...

Not sturdy
This review is from: PNY P-FD1GBATT2-FS 1GB Attache USB 2.0 Flash Drive (Electronics) I have had this for less than a month. I also have a Kingston drive which I got used. The Kingston is older, used, and yet when I would accidentally knock it at work (let's think - something that sticks out three inches at shoe-level in an area where I have to get up and down a lot) it never had a fault. Today I accidentally tapped the PNY and it bent automatically. It is ridiculous. Av...

POORLY MADE - not worth the risk
This review is from: PNY P-FD1GBATT2-FS 1GB Attache USB 2.0 Flash Drive (Electronics) My experience was similar to other reviews: the thing came apart from its casing and poof - there goes all that data. It's not the cost of the device, but the horrible hassle of losing access to your data. There's no warning. I think the plastic or poor construction just breaks. Will never buy PNY again!

DO NOT BUY PNY!!!
This review is from: PNY P-FD1GBATT2-FS 1GB Attache USB 2.0 Flash Drive (Electronics) Stay away from PNY products! I bought a PNY Attach Flash Drive a few months ago, and not only is it poorly manufactured (flimsy plastic case, very loose fitting, cheap looking...), but they do not honor their rebate offers! Stay away!
