Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of PNY Mini Attaché 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive P-FD16G/MINI-EF
Customer Review: PNY - Like so many others have said, device is unreliable
Summary: 1 Stars
I am reviewing the 16gb PNY (Red).
I strongly discourage anyone from purchasing this product.
As you know with reviews, opinions are just that, and people list their experiences with the product. Sometimes you feel compelled to purchase something, even with reading the pros and cons. Unfortunately, I did not listen to the people who posted that this product was unreliable. I went ahead and purchased this last night, and returned it back to the store this morning.
When I first plugged this into my (brand new Toshiba laptop), my Toshiba found the device and then an icon appeared that said driver successfully installed. I then went to my Media Creator to create my back up operating system - which upon execution said that I needed to format the drive.
So I tried to format the drive (that part is easy, there is a screen that comes up and you can choose "quick format". So I chose that option and left the room. When I returned, I had an error message, "unable to complete format". So I pulled out the device (after properly ensuring it was safe to do so). I plugged it back in and went through the same steps. Over and over and over.
Then I decided to plug this into various other ports, just to make sure it is not my port. Still nothing.
So I get on my other laptop and start googling the problem that I was having. Apparently, I am supposed to have a flashing red light on top of this PNY stick when it is performing. I go back into my office, and disconnect and reconnect a few more times. Reboot the computer, try things all over again, and finally I got the Red Flashing Light. The product had finally decided to work.
So I started performing the back up, and when I came back into my office, again, the red light was not flashing and I got an error message, whic said (please make sure disc and drive are connected). Apparently Toshiba knew that this flash drive was not making contact.
After 4 hours of this (still not being able to get the data on to it), I realized that this product was just too unreliable (as several of the reviews out on the internet mentioned). How can I be confident that I can ever retrieve my operating system off of it, if I can't even get the light to come on more than 2 times, out of over 25 times of plugging it in and removing it.
My husband is now calling this the (PNY)Pain-N-Your A** drive. And to anyone who reads this, please do not purchase this. It is a terrible product.
I went today to Fry's Electronics and purchased a Corsair 16gb Flash Drive ($44.99). I got home, plugged it in, on the first attempt and started creating a Recovery USB back up for my operating system --- The Corsair worked fabulously and effortlessly. In less than 15 seconds I was able to successfully start the Recovery Back Up to the USB, which is what I couldn't get done in 4 hours last night with the PNY.
The Corsair Rocks! PNY Not!
