Review on πŸ”Œ PNY Retract USB 2.0 Flash Drive, 32GB, Gray - Color May Vary (P-FD32GRTCG-GE) by Kenneth Witte

Revainrating 5 out of 5

32GB which is actually 4GB with some sort of compression utility

Bought 3 units of 32GB. Windows recognized 32GB of free space and was able to write an 8GB file, but I found the write speed to be very slow. When formatted for use on a Linux system only 4GB was available, it was switched back to Windows and reformatted with NTFS and couldn't get more than 4GB. All three devices behave exactly the same. I think they use some kind of hard drive to "mask" 32GB of storage and use high compression software on the data. I wouldn't recommend it, waste of time trying to figure out why the data couldn't be written.

Pros
  • Regular Price
Cons
  • Not bad
