Not a true 128GB
By Wade Westerman
I bought one of these a while back. After I transferred about 80GB of data onto it, I started getting a "Disc is Write Protected" error. I could remove the "Write Protect" temporarily, but it kept coming back. I tried everything possible to fix it. Then I found some software for testing USB drives. I found out it was only a 64GB drive. During my research on the web, I learned that counterfeit USB drives are being produced on almost an industrial scale. Unfortunately, I ended up with one of them. I had a feeling the price was to good to be true. This in NO WAY means that PNY sells bad drives. It just means that somebody is making counterfeits and selling them cheap. A true 128GB should cost two to three times this price from what I have read.

Failed out of the box
By Macker117
This USB drive showed up and immediately gave me a "Remove the write-protection. This disk is write protected" error. Despite spending hours in regedit and command prompts trying to remove the write-protection I had to conclude that the drive was corrupt.

Large capacity, good price point, adequate performance
By skoledin
Just picked up the 128G version of this usb stick for use in an automobile to store music. In terms of real world performance, I'm seeing 5-8MB/s write rates on mixed size mp3 files (larger files are faster overall), which meshes fairly well with the benchmarks. You'll probably be fine writing a few large video files at a time, and reads are quick (20MB/s) across the board. Came formatted FAT32 for maximum compatibility.

So far, so good. I'm happy with the price/performance point.

Definitely not the drive to use for tons of small/random write operations, but should be just fine for most general storage/playback purposes.

Not worth the time or the money
By eq
I ordered 5 packs (50 total) of these flash drives for students at my school to save information for a project.

1 - They took longer to arrive that originally estimated, despite the fact that I paid for expedited shipping.

2 - I only received 45 total flash drives (the shipment was short 5 flash drives). When I contacted the seller (TigerDirect.com), they told me either I would have to return the entire order and have it re-shipped, or contact the manufacturer. Does it make sense to return 45 flash drives to get 5 that are missing? SO frustrating. I still do not have a resolution and I still do not have my 5 flash drives.

3 - Of the 45 flash drives I DID receive, 4 of them did not work. 10% of what I ordered is defective. But then, I would have to return the ENTIRE ORDER to have these replaced.

Don't waste your time or your money. Go through a wholesale flashdrive distributor that can provide you with better service, accurate orders, and a quality product. You might pay a little more, but you'll be happier in the long run.

Looks OK until you actually use it
By cmltsang
I've ordered this product a month prior to I actually use it. Seller refused to refund now.
My experience was that after I stored some files into a flash drive, when I wish to retrieve it from another computer, it pop up with a "format drive" request. My technician said if I click "Yes", all files stored would be erased. If I click "No", it does not help me to open the drive. Still I cannot retrieve it.
It may not happen to all of the 10 pieces. I used 3, one of them showed it. I'm worrying when the other 2 will have the same problem. I cannot give my client something unrealiable.
I'm seeking a manufacturer return/replacement now.

Does the job it is designed for...
By TJackson
I bought this drive for my office. Several people use them, and not one has ever complained to me about them. We simply plug in the drive and upload files. Then take them where ever we go, or hand them out to whoever needs the information. Two thumbs up!
