PNY 4GB Attache USB 2.0 Flash Drive Enhanced for Windows Readyboost P-FD4GBATT2-FS

this item is very good good price to,redeady boost works in vista if you have 1 gig or less of memory

I have two of these. For the price, I couldn't pass it up. I saw them in Wal-Mart 4 $39.99.

There is no physical write protection switch, so when the drive randomly decides 2 make itself write protected, it's completely useless. You can't format it, add, delete or modify files once it is in this state. Complete garbage.

I just bought this USB PNY 2 backup my important documents, photos & files & put the USB thumb drive in my bank's safe deposit box. The 4GB was just enough room 2 get everything on it. I was surprised on how slow the transfer rate was ... I mean slow! When I moved 3GB of photos 2 the PNY it took over 22 minutes. Also on the downside is that you don't get 4GB ... you lose 250MB - I know that memory is cheap now, but hey, some of you remember when 250MB was a huge hard drive! Overall, super price & OK if 4 limited use, but not a memory USB I would tell others about - Conditionally recommended.

This flash drive has a bad habit of automatically going into write-protect mode. There is no way 2 get it out of this mode. The PNY techs will tell you 2 return the defective drive 4 a replacement. I did this & the replacement did the same thing - rendering it useless.
