2GB worth of crunchy goodness Apr 04, 2006 By T. Feltner "The Man Who Knew Too Little"
Maybe I'm nostalgic about things when it comes to computers. I remember my first USB key drive. A 128MB Sandisk model that I acquired with a rebate check from Discover. I actually still have that USB key drive because it survived a washing and drying.

At 2GB (actually less when you count the formatting but those of us in the computer world are familiar with the numbers game) this drive is probably more space than the average person will ever need.

PC Magazine has a great article on what you could do with a 512MB USB key called "The Ultimate USB Key" that I'd highly recommend for anyone looking for USB key solutions.

Pros:
Storage: 2 GB* (1.90 GB actually) of storage
Accessories:
* Lanyard (I can't tell you how important these are as one of my original 1GB USB keys is forever lost because it didn't have a lanyard where as my 128MB is still viable because it does.
* USB extension cable (great for the back of my laptop dock)

Cons:
The casing: The plastic is rather flimsy
The cap: I'm so sure this thing will eventually loosen up to the point that I'll lose it without even knowing.

Good for backing up digital pics Oct 28, 2006 By JK
I have no complaints about this flash drive. It does what it should, is easy to use, has enough storage to backup all my digital pics from my hard drive (so far!), and is not expensive.

Great tool at a lower price Aug 18, 2006 By Cassandra Santos "caseyMIT"
I was concerned about not buying the more expensive name brand versions of the USB Flash drive, but this little drive has been more than adequate for what I use it for. I no longer have to lug my laptop back and forth from work to home. It comes on a shoestring like "necklace" that makes it very easy to carry around without losing it. If you are comparison shopping, I would consider this as a great option.

Fast flash drive at a good price Jan 11, 2007 By T. Isaac
Before buying this flash drive, I had found a 2GB PQI drive at Fry's for a great price. However, its speed was extremely poor. I decided to replace that slow drive with this PNY drive. I was not disappointed. This PNY drive is 4-5 times faster than the PQI drive; there is even more difference when copying large numbers of small files.

The only gripe I have about it is that whenever I plug it in, Windows insists on scanning the entire contents of the drive before letting me do anything with it. I just want it to show me Windows Explorer. I don't need a list of other applications that might apply.

Overall, however, I love having the large amount of storage at such a low price. Flash drives have changed the way I use computers. Important information now "lives" on the flash drive. The computer is becoming simply a container in which to plug in, and buck up, a flash drive!

Note: In spite of the words "Hard Drive" in the title for this item, it is in fact a "Flash" drive, and has no moving parts or spinning platters.

Not well supported Aug 31, 2007 By M.S "MS"
This is a fine drive as long as you don't run into problems with it, or need to updated a driver.

The driver wasn't recognized on one of my computers, so I went looking for another one. First, it's next to impossible to find anything on their site. Then their troubleshooting procedure is ridiculously complicated. I finally gave up. I'll use one of my other sticks and never buy one of these again.

If you get one, and you don't have an IT staff around to help you, pray you don't need a new driver.
