Customer Review: Look Elsewhere For A Good Flash Drive
Summary: 1 Stars
I have never used a worse flash drive in my life! I purchased the PNY for transporting files. I plugged in the first one purchased both on my work PC and my home PC. It didn't work. I exchanged it for the same model. It didn't work on my home PC or my work PC. I had the IT staff at work take a look at each of the PNY flash drives and they had the same results as me. I spent over thirty minutes trying to find a customer service number on the PNY website. They don't have one. The only telephone number is buried in the warranty section. There is no e-mail support. This drive is the biggest piece of junk out there! Also, take a glance at the class action law suit announced on the PNY website.
Do NOT buy PNY.
Customer Review: DO NOT BUY THIS DRIVE UNLESS YOU LOVE THROWING MONEY AWAY
Summary: 1 Stars
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 happens is that the internal housing breaks and the piece that fits into the computer slips into the case so you can't plug it into the computer anymore.
KEEP SHOPPING. FIND SOMETHING THAT IS NOT GOING TO BREAK WITHIN A FEW WEEKS.
Customer Review: Different from the picture
Summary: 3 Stars
Overall this USB drive functions well, but with some drawbacks:
1.) The little red activity light that exists on the product in the picture does not exist on the product I received.
2.) The gray shell around the colored case is not secured to the case. So, when you go to remove the drive from the port, you end up just pulling the shell off of the case.
3.) The case is significantly thicker than the thickness of most other USB plugs, so if you have two USB ports right next to each other, it is difficult to fit the USB drive in one port if something else is plugged into the adjacent port.
Customer Review: Not sturdy

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. Avoid this brand - less than 1 month! The casing is slightly cracked and the metal connector bent automatically pulling the chip board inside with it. This review concurs with others posted on the flimsiness of the designCustomer Review: Very Good Flash Drive
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very good Flash Drive. I have two flash drives by this company, and find they to be good quality. They work with Mac and PC (and go between both well).
I have had one for over a year, and have experienced no problems with it, and recently bought a second. It comes with a nice lanyard, so you can wear it around your neck and keep track of it.
This product comes in different colors, which in itself is nice. My only complaint is that when you order it, there is no way to choose which color you get. For example, I have received one that is green and one that is purple.
