This review is from: PNY Micro Attache 4 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive P-FD4GBMIC-FS (Black) (Personal Computers) When they call this a micro USB drive, they really mean it. All the superfluous casing is absent from this drive. It's as thin as an SD digital memory card used in digital cameras, but maybe half the width.
There is a small hole to allow this to be attached to some key chains (may not be big enough for some thicker key rings) etc... There is no case, nor is there a cap to protect the connector, which may be an issue for some people. Plugs in snuggly, in spite of appearances. I bought mine for the back of a Sony BD Live Blu Ray player, but also tried it out in my laptop with no problems. I'll be grabbing some more for backing up important files on my computers. Great value and about as small as you could get in a USB thumb drive.

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.

This review is from: PNY Micro Attache 2 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive P-FD2GBMIC-FS (Black) (Personal Computers) I love this little drive. As with most USB devices, it was recognized automatically with Window$ and Ubuntu. I use my as a Live USB with Ubuntu installed on it. It works pretty fast, the only caveat is I am afraid I may scratch and ruin it. But I am pretty careful about it. I defiantly recommend it for anyone wanting a small and discrete flash drive. |
