128GB Turbo Attaché 3 USB 3.0 Flash Drive 5-Pack – Grey, P-FD128X5TBOP-MP, 100MB/s, Light-Weight Durable - Data Storage and Transfer

I have owned many flash drives. This is the best, and I love the way the cover pushes forward easily, yet firmly, so i can through it safely in my backpack. Fast transfer speed and long lasting. I have had this PNY Turbo Attache model for 3 years (now 2026).

I purchased a couple USB memories, so I won't only review them, but compare them. Memory 1 is: SanDisk Ultra Fit 128GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive (SDCZ43-128G-G46) Memoriy 2 is: PNY Turbo 128GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive - P-FD128TBOP-GE Both are great 128GB USB 3.0 memories, but each one could fulfill different needs. At the end I'll list some specs of the hardware used. Performance: On a USB 2.0, PNY has the advantage. SanDisk's only outperforms PNY in random writting. But besides that, PNY is a clear winner. Specially on sequential writting. On a USB 3.0. I'd say it's a tie. SanDisk has better sequential reads and random writes. PNY has better sequential write and random read. I could say PNY wins by a slight margin due the difference in sequential write is considerable. On a USB 3.0 + Turbo, while SanDisk increase its performance by a good margin, PNY actually performs worse... Don't ask me why, since it should increase its performance, but the results don't lie. SanDisk increased it's overall performance by about 40%; which is a very good margin. And an increase of about 200% in sequential writing. PNY on the other hand, decreased an overall of 4%. Sequential writing was reduced almost 35%. Sequential reading was increased by only 8%. And again, SanDisk is a clear winner in sequential reading and random writing, while PNY in random reading and sequential writing. SanDisk only outperforms PNY in sequential writing with turbo activated. PNY is a winner in performance. However, SanDisk performs really well with Turbo. Aesthetic: SanDisk is a clear winner. It just doesn't feel like a cheap USB. On the other hand, PNY seems to be made with cheap plastic, and also not very well painted. The hole for the lanyard, might be a tie. SanDisk's is toot thin and PNY's feels clumsy. None arrive with a lanyard, though. The USB cover is not the greatest in either one. SanDisk might get lost, but PNY has more friction. Warranty: SanDisk wins hands down. It's 1 year vs 5 year. Price: I paid 19.99 for PNY's and 27.99 fo SanDisk's. There's only a small margin in pricing. justified or not? might deppend on you. My verdict: It depends on your application. If you plan on keeping it in the USB port, SanDisk wins. Otherwise, PNY has a better performance/price ratio. Also, I didn't make a section for it, but SanDisk runs hotter, but this is understandable since it's smaller. SanDisk has a way better warranty, however. I'm using SanDisk for a Wii U. The console has a USB 2.0, which is the bottleneck in the system, but I I'd rather that it's the port, not the memory. So far is working great. Loading times are only slightly better, but that's preferable than worse. So now I can free some space from its 32GB internal memory. I wish the system had the capability of storing partially in the internal memory and the external, so I could have a increase in performance (Like a Raid 0), but, that's too much asking. It's lower profile will also help so it doesn't get in the way. PNY will be used by my father to transport large files. So sequential writing will have a better benefit. Also, since it's bigger than SanDisk's, there's less chance of losing it. And since he won't be able to lose the cap, it's a big advantage. Bench hardware The USB 2.0 tests were made in a dv2125la laptop. T7600 Core Duo with 3GB of RAM. The USB 3.0 tests were made in a desktop PC. Intel i7-4770k, 32GB of RAM, Z87 plus MB and C70 case. Thanks for reading. L8er!

Good quality USB drive

Have used this drive on Macs, Linux, and Windoze. Works adequately on all. I've had no functional issues whatsoever, and the capacity is as advertised... But I just don't feel like the speed is "as advertised". But it's fast enough.

It worked as advertised. Set the Label to be my phone number with area code. Put a "_ReadMe.txt" on the drive with so it would float to the top. Had identifying info with an offer of a small reward, and the notice "Sorry about that, but there is no pron on the drive, either hidden, encrypted, or otherwise." CHKDSK worked fine and shows 249...GB on the drive. It came set to FAT32, I believe, but I wanted NTFS. The windows FORMAT (Vista or Longhorn) didn't work on this drive, but thankfully I found "USB Disk Storage Format Tool" and it worked like a charm. It did take 6 hours to reformat, but mine is an older PC with only USB 2.0 connections available. Overnight is time enough. Bought one for my brother and sister. He has 128,000 PDF's backed up (for his work), and loves it. Also backs up to the cloud and a portable HDD. My sister, on the other hand, had never backed up in 8 years, but she didn't want to lose her pictures of the grand kids. She fit 130GB of pics from her Pictures folder with room to spare. Didn't want to use compression, nor encryption, and thus Windows Explorer, Xnview, and FastStone Image Viewer can easily show her what she has got on the PNY Flash Drive. Used Roxio to backup the same Pictures folder to CD/DVD, and it took 24 hours and 30 DVD's to accomplish. Roxio spans the DVD's. Gonna have her to it again, for an offsite backup to the Safe Deposit Box. Only then, I'll tell her she can safely delete stuff to make room. Now I've had a backup HDD's fail, and it made me sad (understatement). I wish the PNY came in a 512GB for the same price, and was a bright YELLOW (fire engine) color. My Hard Drive is 512GB, so backup would be easy. The YELLOW color - they're real easy to lose. I put mine is a Case Logic's carrier with the most garish color so it easy to find. I worry about EMP, Electromagnetic Pulse. I could wrap the PNY in AL foil, but that may be overkill where a metal box would do just fine. I also worry about the new wireless charging devices, and whether or not that could wipeout the memory or at least lead to significant degradation of the lifespan if you put the PNY on the charger. Haven't seen any literature on this topic. Don't forget, I've had backups fail where I put all my eggs in one basket. I have an LG portable BD drive which will write M@DISK's, but I haven't used it yet. I'm not sure, but Roxio shows only 4.4GB of a 4.7GB DVD filled up. That is a best practice. Of studies I've read, the degradation of the dye layer of a CD/DVD occurs from the outside rim inwards. By leaving a cushion on the outside rim, they extend the life of the CD/DVD. I don't know if they were smart enough to think that far ahead. I have other issues with Roxio, but only a few in passing. Had to install the software in SAFE MODE, but the Knowledge Base had a article explaining this. Roxio will backup categories of files, Pictures, Documents, Videos, etc, if you want, but they consider just a few extensions to be Pictures, certainly not .PNG, now raw files. Anyway, I digress. The forth PNY I bought for my girlfriend, a dear girl whom I love, but she owns a MAC. She tried the PNY, it works, but it is too small for the Time Machine. She wasn't impressed, but the Genius at the Apple Store was. "We don't see too many of these." Never met the guy, but I liked him already. Again, had to jump through a few hoops to fit my needs, but that's life. The PNY works.

Muito Bom ...Estou testando..
