Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of PNY Attache 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive P-FD8GBATT2-EF (Black/Blue)
Customer Review: great product
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great product, I should have bought the 16 gig one nevertheless. The only problem with it is when you use it for readyboast. Once your format it (3.99 gb by the way) it is impossible to stop it. Everytime you plug the stick into your computer it immediately starts readyboast. Since it uses 4 gigs for readyboast I really only have a 4 gig thumbdrive. So what I will do is delete readyboast whenever I have to transfer files that are larger than 4 gigs. But you can only do this when you plug the stick into another computer, on the one that it is formatted for it will tell you that readyboast is in use so you cannot stop it or delete it.Customer Review: Sorry, can't recommend it.

Became unusable only 2 days after I started using it ("Write-protected" and "Unable to format messages", that kind of stuff...) Checked the PNY Web site, downloaded their low-level formating utility and received a msg that it only would only work on ICxxxx models (whatever that means; my suspicion is that the drives break down faster than support update the formatter) and refused to format. Attempting to contact PNY support was met with a resounding silence. A cheap enough drive, but I guess you only get what you pay for; if you're looking for a good high-capacity USB drive, you may want to look elsewhere.Customer Review: Lots of cheap data moving, just be careful.
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a little apprehensive at first buying this stick due to all the 1 star reviews saying this item was poorly constructed and came apart easy. Well its been over 6 months now and this little flash drive has been the workhorse of my file/movie/music transfers. I dont do anything crazy with it; transfer photos and movies between computers, throw some music or tv shows on it to pass it to friends, but thus far everything has been smooth with its large capacity and decent speed of transfer. If you need to move a lot of data for cheap, this works, and works well. Just don't bang it around too much.Customer Review: Wonderful USB Drive
Summary: 5 Stars
In previous experiences, I liked PNY USB drives. So when I needed a larger drive, I purchased this one. It was an excellent choice. The drive is small (smaller than the old 1GB drives) and very light weight. It has a nice color to it, so that it doesn't stand out while on your key chain. The cap stays on as well, which is always a factor with thumb drives.
I had no problems using the drive on several different computers. There was no software to install. Just plug and use. It transfers files very quickly and is cheap in price. I would recommend this to anyone who needed a USB drive.
Customer Review: Second biggest piece of junk electronics I've ever bought
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this drive after getting a new DVD player which took a USB jump drive. From the start, nothing but problems in using this with both my laptop and DVD player. Both devices would suddenly not recognize this unit. I had to find a low-level format utility just to make this device usuable again, but it continued to blow it's brains out almost every time I used it.
I replaced this with a store brand (microcenter) device which works flawlessly.
The only reason this isn't the biggest piece of junk is because the Snazzi Capture card was 10 times the price.
