Review on 💾 PNY 16GB Attaché 3 USB 2.0 Flash Drive 5-Pack: Affordable & Convenient Storage Solution by Antonio Cummings

Revainrating 2 out of 5

They seem to have come down in price for the case. Avoid this model!

I have used this drive many times since I bought it for copying and storing files, it seems a decent drive. USB sticks are generally pretty basic, so don't expect too many problems. Today when I put the disc in my computer it was unreadable and then when I picked it up to take it out my computer turned off. As I took a closer look at the drive, I noticed that the thin memory card had slipped into the outer metal casing and the metal had touched the computer's USB pins, causing the computer to shut down. I needed the files, so I ripped off the plastic casing and found there was little point in keeping the storage in place. I only gave it 2 stars because I could still use the memory by clamping and holding the paper between the memory card and the metal case. Don't go back and deal with PNY. I plan to buy a few more discs to replace these, of course they will no longer be a PNY brand.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Expensive
