5.0 out of 5 stars Great tiny flash drive

I bought this flash drive a couple months ago, and I'm 13 and very VERY electronics savvy, the average user would call me a nerd. This flash drive is just great. it is literally half the size of an SD card, and the same price. ill show some pics later. i got the 2gb version for less that $10, and plan to get the 4gb one soon. i have formatted this drive NUMEROUS times, and its still functioning at 100% i use it for linux OSes, schoolwork, music, and general file transfer.

UPDATE/NEW REVIEW:

Ok, I'm not happy with my review, so I'm doing it all over again.

First of all, this Flash Drive is small. Really small. It's literally half the size of an SD card, and just as thick. Compare it to a sandisk Cruzer. This is literally 1/5 the size. I actually had to attach a keyring/clip to it just so I wouldn't lose it. The small clip is BIGGER than the flashdrive. The Micro Attache is also REALLY lightweight. its great.

Second, the technological attributes. I purchased the 2gb version, because it was $11 with free shipping. I would go on BUY dot com and buy the 2gb there just to save $4. 2gb is plenty for school, a large bit of music, and portableapps dot com apps. I am only using 1 gb, and, as in my 1st review, I really use it. If you're the kind of person who gets a 16gb just to have it and then uses <1gb, don't. Please. for $11 the 2gb can't be beat. The file transfer speeds are fast enough, but sometimes really slow. that's rare though. I waws either going to get this or the pico, but i chose this because it cost less and is about the same size. besides, the pico is ugly.

Overall, this is a GREAT flashdrive, and the size is wonderful. I get compliments at least every week, and many don't believe it is a real flashdrive. I would definitely buy it again!

While this flash drive worked, it was great. I love the tiny size. It's very durable and easy to carry around. It worked fine for the first few weeks that I had it, but I didn't have much use for it after a while. Some weeks went by and I needed to copy some files to another computer and it just wouldn't work. I thought that maybe my computer was the problem, but I tried it on 3 other computers with no success. I really can't suggest this flash drive.

My friends laughed at me when I said this. Its actually not as small as i would like. It is thin, but too long.
I bought this for the radio in my car. It takes USB drives right in the head unit. I want something small that doesn't draw attention and that was less likely to break off. I owned a 8gb pico mini that immediately fell apart, luckily amazon took the return. I liked that one because it was much shorter and useful, though not put together as the PNY.
Its cool that is so small, but it isn't small in the right way. Its as thin as a penny, but that doesn't do you any good. You end up having a thin strip of plastic that sicks out from the computer almost an inch. I would much rather have it as wide as a normal flash drive but short. The little metal rectangle normally found on the end of a USB cord or a flash drive is worth having. Without having that, this drive needs to be plugged in carefully, and you're really not saving yourself any space.
I hate to sound crazy because this is almost as small as it gets, but this really just seems like a gimmick to me. It may be useful if you want to save space on your key chain, but i don't really know why anyone does that anyway.
Other than that this thing works great. It does everything it should as expected. Its a nice little thing at a good price, and I'll keep it. I'm still looking for something better.

3.0 out of 5 stars The read/write speeds seem unreliable

I got this USB drive as a gift and the idea behind it was just awesome. I found myself, being the nerd I am, excited by the thought of having 8 gigs of storage in such a small device (my old USB drive was a 1 gig SanDisk Cruzer that I paid 20 bucks for back when 1 gig flash drives were still pretty amazing). The package didn't really have much in it, just some instructions and a small catalog of other PNY products. I had to find a ring or loop myself so that I could attach the product to my key ring.

Looks and form factor aside, the abilities to transfer and store data are the most important aspects for me. Starting off was pretty simple. I just plugged it into my USB port and my computer began installing drivers automatically. There weren't any additional files I had to download elsewhere to get the USB drive up and running. I also liked that the manufacturers didn't install some software that automatically boots as soon as you insert the drive.

I first transferred a couple of installation files for anti virus and anti spyware. So far so good: nothing too impressive in terms of transfer speed but they were along the lines of what I expected. Next, I started installing PortableApps. These files were bigger and actually involved installing files directly to the USB drive. Again, the transfer speed was pretty average and acceptable.

Soon I moved on to testing it out by transferring much bigger files. First up was an installation .iso image of the Windows 7 Home Premium installer (an approximately 3 gig file). I was actually quite impressed at the transfer speed when I did this. The transfer rate started at around 1mb/sec and gradually got faster and faster. Soon, it reached 10mb/sec. At this rate, I managed to transfer the 3 gig file in a little over 5 minutes.

Around the time that I got the PNY Micro Attache, my friend asked me to install some photo editing software on his computer. Now that I had a decent sized flash drive, I was finally able to give him the software. All the files needed to install the software added up to about 8 gigs. I was going to transfer to my friends computer in two rounds: first a 2.5 gig chunk then a 5.5 gig chunk. The 2.5 gig chunk was made up of several files in many directories. As I began transferring my files, I found myself extremely disappointed at how slow the files were transferring. The transfer from my computer to the flash drive started at a rate of a little over 100 kb/sec and peaked at a little over 300 kb/sec. At these rates, I could download the files faster than the speed at which they transferred to the USB drive. Transferring from the USB drive to my friend's laptop didn't take quite as long, but in general read speeds are a lot faster than write speeds. I also noticed that it took a ridiculously long time to delete the files from the flash drive after the transfer (it took 25-30 minutes just to delete the files). All in all this transfer took around 3-4 hours.

After the 2.5 gig transfer, I was all but pessimistic about how long it would take to transfer the second 5.5 gig set of files. The difference, though, was that the 5.5 gigs of files were all in the same folder. Amazingly, it took less than an hour and a half to transfer to the USB drive and then transfer to my friend's laptop. I always knew that transferring many little files takes longer than transferring one big file. However, I did not anticipate such a huge difference in the write speeds (10mb/sec for the single .iso file as opposed to the 100-300 kb/sec for a 2.5 gb set of files and folders).

The design and form both look good and make for this product to be extremely portable. How to use it is pretty straightforward and having 8 gigs of storage is great. My main disappointment would have to be the seemingly sporadic and unreliable read/write rates and times. This USB drive would be acceptable for everyday use in maybe a school setting or just for backing up smaller, basic files. Unfortunately, if you plan on transferring large files often (especially whole folders and directories with very many smaller files within), you might need to be a very patient person if you use this PNY Micro Attache USB drive.
