Review on PNY Attaché 4 32GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive 5-Pack - P-FD32GX5ATT4-EF, black: High-capacity storage at unbeatable value by Heather Stokes

Covers cannot be removed without tools and will damage the disc, very slow writing speed, USB error writing to two of the five discs received. I was tired of constantly looking for a flash drive to transfer files to someone or make a quick copy, so I found this cheap set of 5 to keep a few pieces on hand that I don't want to give away . First the most ridiculous part, the covers! These little covers are *impossible* to remove by hand. What seem to get in their way are the little protrusions on each side of the disc. The tongue should slide into the appropriate groove (for alignment I presume?) but instead gets stuck. With disc 3, I got down to a 30 second removal process, using a small flathead screwdriver to pry each side until the clear plastic separated from the disc. This makes each slice look like it has been chewed by a small dog. In terms of speed, they are pretty slow for USB 2.0 drives. Actual copying speeds were under 30MB/min - a very painful wait when copying multi-gigabyte files. Finally, in the 6 months I've been using, at least two drives have failed completely - writing to those drives resulted in USB errors. (on multiple systems). Garbage. Save yourself the hassle and buy another one
