PNY 32GB Elite USB 3.2 Flash Drive 2-Pack - 100MB/s

I've used other PNY drives and they have held up well. Its actual capacity is 461 GB. I have learned over the years this is normal but I do feel it is a bit deceptive. But this is just how manufacturers work The USB connector was a bit difficult to retract but hopefully with use it will loosen a bit. The housing is plastic and okay. I do like my PNY with a metal housing better because it is very sturdy and I've had it for many years. I think this one will hold up to normal usage as well, I just feel the metal ones are sturdier. But this one is faster since it is newer and 3.2 instead of 3.1 so it will work hopefully for as long as my other ones.

I have used PNY USB drives for many years, and never had a problem - never had a drive failure. However, the covers of the newer drives are a little "fat", and if the USB slots you are using are closely stacked, sandwiched together, the PNY drive may be too wide, and block access to the adjacent slot(s). Not a problem with my laptop, but it was a problem with my desktop.

I am using these for emergency recovery drives. I formated them completely and found no problems or hidden software.

does the job, but verychesply made. Not strong enough to survive in a pocket.

The item has only 25 GB of available storage. I am aware USB sticks are like this, but only getting 25/32 is a rip off. The item is also difficult to open and close. The item is also so thick that if you plug it into your pc it makes one of your USB slots unusable, lol.

Sliding cover is slippery and does not latch in place, makes them very difficult to insert in a restricted space. Sliding cover makes them much bulkier than they need to be, if you have tightly stacked USB ports (like on a laptop) they probably won't fit side by side. Buy something else. Very poor physical design.

Bought 4 of them with one of them been bad. I have bought hundreds USB and this is first time one which was bad, costing me hours of time before I run test on it to find out why system recovery USB would not boot up. Also this are USBs which don't have LED which would tell you status of read or write to device.

Plastic junk locking mechanism not only hard to get to even with a plastic tie but it's so cheap it won't even lock half the time. PNY use to be a quality product, NOT ANYMORE

Got a two pack of the 32gb sticks and loaded both with Linux, used them to boot with and then one of them never could be recognized after that. The other worked fine and they were formatted the same way. The one isn't recognized in anything after one use. 50 percent failure rate.

opened drive. addded data. removed safely. inserted later data corrupted. formatted and tried again. same result
