PNY Micro Swivel Attaché 4 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive P-FDU4GBSV-EF/BLU (Blue)

 (96 customer reviews)

I see these bad reviews and can only think that either they are very unlucky or I am very lucky.

First off I am a Network Admin, secondly I am a member of the US Army Reserve. This thing has held up on both of those two fronts with no issues. This is the first drive I have been able to carry with me no matter where I go due to its durability. I take it out to the field with me, to the range, and then the next day it is transfering files between rebuilt servers, laptops and desktops. I never follow the proper removal procedures because I don't have critical data on it, I just yank it and go! I have had it for about a year or so, still works great and I love it. The reason I am here posting this is because I am going to buy another one :)

As I write this I am looking at mine, it is pitted and all the finish and lettering is worn off, but I just got done using it to transfer network card drives to a rebuilt laptop with no problem, I love this little flash...Read more

I bought this flash drive to replace my 1 gb PNY of a different style. I was excited at first to get 4 gb in such a small unit, small enough to keep on a keychain. I decided to stick with PNY because my old one was insanely durable. Big mistake. It is small enough to keep on a keychain, and seems pretty durable. HOWEVER, after the first couple of uses, it started producing corrupt data and files. I have formatted the drive multiple times on multiple computers and platforms. The problem persists. Having corrupt files makes this item pretty much useless. I would not recommend this product.

I have had this flash drive for only two weeks.

In that time, I have had six files corrupt on me, many of which were very important project files. I followed proper ejecting protocol and still had problems.

I would not recommend this flash drive to anyone.
