PNY 2GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive

Comment:
Just got this USB last week so it's hard to report on the performance, but I can say that the cover for is is worst. I usually wear my USB on my work badge. On the first day the cover was lost. WARNING: The cover will easily come off just by brushing up against it. A tighter fit needs to be designed for the cover.

i have had this flash drive for about a year. it's handy and works well, but the hole on the end just snapped in half (i attribute it to the weight of my keychain, which was always attached to the other end whenever i had it plugged into a computer) and the innards kind of rattle around in the case. it still functions, but i logged onto tigerdirect today to find it a replacement.

A great little flash drive. No problems. Just bought the second one for a friend. It does help to put a dab of glue in the outer casing so it won't slide off. For the money it's a great value!

i was not too sure about this card at first, was a little cheap. however, the other day it went through the wash in a pair of pants and still worked just fine; i think this is quite a durable product

Plug in & use.Trade files/MP3 between Mac & PC. Great Price-Shipped fast & Secure. Thanks Tiger Direct!

Looks like the ones they have now don't have the U3 software on 'em any more. I just picked one of these up yesterday (I live near the Naperville outlet store), and it is just a plain 'ol USB flash drive, which is exactly what I needed. No need to even run the U3 removal tool. Build quality appears to be OK, and it performs as advertised.

I like PNY stuff but I'm afraid I have to give a marginal review of this. I owned an older model 256mb PNY (back when that was big) and the physical quality of the new 2gb model is terrible compared to the old one. The silver plastic case seems cheaper and flimsy. Unlike the old one, the end cap does not slide on with a satisfying snugness and threatens to come off. Even the lanyard is now (literally) just a cheap shoestring rather than a thick, logoed PNY strap. The larger part of the silver, plastic body slides off and needs super-glued. On the other hand the thing works just great, is somewhat physically smaller that the older model, and was cheap. So, I can't complain too much because I did buy partially based on price. I just did not expect the construction quality to go downhill so far in 18 months.

As a Mac owner, the U3 uninstall was slightly more inconvenient for me. The uninstall program worked fine, but I had to bring it to work to run it on a Windows computer. If you can't run the uninstall, it doesn't hurt anything, you just get this pseudo U3 CD drive popping up in the Mac finder. There is no uninstall program for Mac or Linux. The back part of the gray case can easily pull off, in addition to the front part which acts as the cap. This is not really an enormous problem, because the transparent part of the case stays on, and protects the innards. Also, if you have the lanyard attached, it won't let the case pull all the way off. Just a minor quality issue. Other than that, everything works fine. With U3 off of there, it's just another flash drive with good performance.

FYI.... http://www.u3.com/uninstall/ will remove the silly U3 program.

Comment:
It should say ''WARNING U3 TECHNOLOGY INCLUDED''. They run 2000 at work and it is supposed to recognize the system and not require downloaded software. Well I can't download software at work so this flash drive is totally unusable for me and a total waste of money.

I have been looking for a thumb drive without the U3 software on it. I thought this was it. I was wrong. I wish Tiger would be more thorough when listing this so-called feature.

this drive served great for over 4 months (changing now for a bigger capacity). very reliable, great value. wish write/copy speed be faster!

This is by far the most productive product I have purchased. All of the computers I have used this on have had no problem at all recognizing the drive. I was surprised to see that I used almost 1GB within the month. Product design is sturdy, unlike my last one of which the USB connector broke off the board. The only complaint I have is that it does lack configuration features. My previous drive had a few security features, but moreover it had drive tools that provided me with many special features. Overall, I am ordering a second drive due to the fact I left my first one at school one day. TIP: Although those straps that the drives come with may be inconvenient and unsightly they help your drive stand and you have a better chance of not leaving it behind, 2GB can be a lot of personal and valuable information.

All i have to say is im impressed with this drive. the cost and capacity are great. Plus it allows me to transport any data i choose without the burden of using email. As a technical analist where my job can get really boring, my saving grace is the import of hilarious flash cartoons and firefox portable. i completely recommend this flash drive.

This is a very nice drive. I bought it because I am a graphic design student and I need to carry around lots of large files. This works great for what I need to do with it. Goes back and forth between Mac and PC without a problem. It transfers files quickly. I've had no problem with it so far. The only small complaint I would have is that the drive itself is pretty big in size when compared to other flash drives, but it's not a big deal. I would definitely recommend this product.

This was the easiest USB Flash Drive my husband has tried. It was recognized IMMEDIATELY in every computer we put it in with no extra steps, no confusion, no worries, no searching for the drive and having to reboot to find it. He never leaves home or the office without it. Holds tons of PDF, XLS, DOC files and others. We've since purchased additional PNY units which we find just as reliable - and economical to boot.

This drive works great to move some of those very large files from one computer to another, without having to take the time to burn it to a CD or DVD & then install that into the other computer. Great product & even greater price!!! Definitely worth getting more than one!

The drive works great. Fast and autodetects, very easy to transfer large files and take presentations and data with you when you travel. Always quick reliable delivery from Tiger Direct.

I just bought this locally because I needed it quickly, and I paid a little xtra for it. Seems to work great. Perhaps some others would be faster but I dont notice the difference. Comes with usb extention cable and neck strap (drivers for win 98 SE are available via download). 2GB for $80 seems like a great value to me. I have bought lots of stuff from Tiger in the past and I have allways been happy with their service.
