PNY 128GB Turbo Attaché 3 USB 3.0 Flash Drive 2-Pack​

I bought this multi-pack for a family photo project. I chose PNY for two reasons: First, they're a good value. Second, I've purchased their SD cards and was pleased with the performance. These flash drives did not disappoint. They're solidly built, and the downloads were fast. I transferred 6+ GB to each in no time, with no problems. If you need to distribute data (in my case, digital photos and videos), these should be a more-then-adequate choice.

I recently purchased the PNY 32GB Turbo Attaché 3 USB 3.0 Flash Drive 3-Pack, and I must say that I am thoroughly impressed with their performance, reliability, and exceptional value. These flash drives have quickly become an essential part of my digital life, and they have exceeded my expectations in every aspect.

LOVE THESE USB, LARGE STORAGE VOLUME AND NICE PRICE. EASY USE

This seems pretty good and cheap as dirt! I recall when USB Keys were about $50 for a 200mb one and had USB-1 performance to boot. How far we have come I thought a comparison with other devices might be helpful. Summary: This device has read performance comparable to a traditional "spinny" hard disk and write performance about half of that. It is much faster than any USB2 device and has speeds comparable to USB 3 hard drives. This is a good device and you should definitely consider this range if you use USB drives mainly to move files about which are too large to comfortable transport in the cloud. However, you will likely have bandwidth issues writing 4k video, etc. Playback should be fine, though I have not tested this. Details: → This device: Read 117.4mb/s Write: 43.39mb/s ← USB2 Key: Read: 21.60 Write: 8.07 (Sandisk Cruzer) USB3 Hard Disk: Read 112.0 Write: 109.7 (Seagate Expansion USB-3) SATA [Internal] HDD: 139.2 / 124.4 (An older WDC WD10 EZEX 1TB Drive. YMMV) Notes: Crystaldiskmark was used with the sequential multi-thread test setting. In my opinion, this most resembles how people use USB-3 devices. Mostly we copy relatively biggish files on and off of them and don't put them under tremendous load for random read/writes. Mostly, our PCs can thread IO operations, etc. If you plan to use this device to run Windows To Go, some other live-booting OS or to do some other weird thing please note that the results for the tougher random (4KiB Q32T1) test are: Read 6.942 and Write 1.392. This is actually quite decent. For comparison, my SATA HD performed much worse at read 0.823mb/s and Write 1.097 in that test and my USB-3 HD at 0.550 and 0.985. USB 3 devices in this comparison attached via a Fresno Logic USB3 chipset . This is a rock-solid USB-3 controller but my experience is that it is a little slower than the flaky but popular VIA/VLI chipset common on on-board motherboard controllers and cheap add-on cards. USB 2 device attached via the RealTek onboard USB-2 controller. This is a pretty iffy chipset and you might do better if you are less lazy than I. SATA is internal SATA-3 with AHCI. AMD Chipset. This is a pretty good SATA controller but not super deluxe, you might do better. The drive is an older 7500RPM model, you definitely can do better. Disclaimer: IANAL, and IANA Engineer. Your results will vary because even with an identical setup there are nondeterministic factors at play.

These are pretty good quality & seem to work well. Speed & storage appear to operate within specs. Only downside "might be" the slide to open/close the drive is not as smooth as I expected - you have to push-pull pretty hard to open or close them. Maybe that is the design intent so they don't accidently open?

This product was fine, Still amazon has become a giant flea market with an enter bar . no oversight and responsibility for broken products sent by a seller better to buy local

I've used plenty of flash drives over the years, and these PNY Turbo Attaché 3 drives have been surprisingly fast for the money. I recently used one with Etcher to write roughly a 9GB Linux image. During the process I saw transfer speeds reach around 123 MB/s, and a job that could take around 20 minutes with one of my older flash drives finished in roughly 7 to 10 minutes. More importantly, the image completed without corruption and worked properly afterward. That's exactly the kind of real-world improvement I wanted. You get five 64GB drives, which I think is where the value really starts to shine. I regularly use flash drives for Linux installers, bootable utilities, transferring files, recovery tools, and other computer projects, so having several available is considerably more useful than constantly overwriting the same drive. Out of the five, I did initially have an issue with one. However, after repartitioning and formatting the drive, it started working normally again. Since then, I haven't had another problem with it. The sliding design is simple and practical because there's no tiny cap to lose, and the drives are lightweight enough to throw into a computer bag or keep around the workshop. I've also had good experiences with other PNY storage products, including an SSD in one of my laptops, so these drives fit pretty well with what I've experienced from the brand. One small correction to something I originally considered doing with them: while Windows can use USB storage for certain caching or virtual-memory-related purposes, a flash drive isn't a substitute for actual system RAM, and I wouldn't buy these expecting them to increase gaming performance like installing additional RAM would. Overall: Fast in my real-world Linux imaging test, convenient, and an excellent value when you consider you're getting five 64GB USB 3.0 drives. For bootable installers, file transfers, recovery tools, and keeping spare storage around, this is a solid buy. And for only a little more than the smaller-capacity pack I was considering, I'll happily take 64GB and give my Linux installers some breathing room. 💾🐧

10/11/22 (see Notes) Based on my experience with the first couple of these PNY Turbo 32GB USB3 flash drives which I ever tried, and on an article entitled "6 Best USB Flash Drives to Use for Portable Linux in 2022," the Turbo is one of the best inexpensive flash drives to use for encrypted or unencrypted "full" installations of some types of Linux, and Bodhi in particular. In fact, out of several types of inexpensive drives which I tried to use for this purpose, it's one of the few that perform satisfactorily, or function at all. Sandisk Ultra-FITs are my favorites, performance-wise, although their plastic connector-shroud leaves something to be desired (more details below). Micro Center drives work, but they're ridiculously slow in all aspects, and the Lexar I tried had a glacial installation-speed and didn't even boot. I tried a Verbatim Metal Executive and a 16 GB Sandisk Ultra Flair, both of which died after a couple of uses, although you might have better luck. I tried a 32 GB Kingston USB3 Datatraveler, which as I recall was extremely slow or also died after a few uses. In any case, I tossed them and won't be gambling on them any more. I have one 16 GB Kingston USB3 Datatraveler which is great (it actually runs cool), although the installation-speed is slower than the Turbos, and the 16 GB size is no longer available. I tried a couple of Sandisk Ultra-Luxes, and they worked well but ran hot. Samsungs are apparently good, but they're expensive. After all of these disappointments, I was very reluctant to try the Turbos, but my curiosity got the best of me. After trying the Turbos, I also tried an Aiibe 16GB USB3 drive, and found it to be even slower than the Micro Center drives. I aborted the installation process after 2 hours, because the installation would have probably run very slow, if at all. I tried another, but aborted the installation after a few minutes because it was acting the same as the first. Some distros, including Ubuntu 22.04, boot and respond too slowly on Turbos to be used often, but would be OK to use if you just want to boot them up once in a while to check out some aspect. Others, such as Xubuntu 22.04, boot, respond, and shut down quickly enough on Turbos to be used often. The performance of Ubuntu and Xubuntu installations on the Turbos improved, up to a point, with repeated cycles of booting, app-launching/closing, and shut-down, although over the longer term, the performance didn't remain consistent - it's as if the installations sometimes become disoriented in the process of booting, or launching an app. The installation process took about an hour for Ubuntu 22.04 (3.5 GB), and about 50 minutes for Xubuntu 22.04 (2.5 GB). But Bodhi Linux 5.1 AppPak installed in about 50 minutes, which isn't bad by flash-drive installation standards, especially considering that it's a 3.4 GB ISO due to all the apps, and it consistently ran very well from the first boot. I don't use Bodhi, but now that I realize how well it runs as encrypted flash-drive installations (at least on PNY Turbos, probably on Sandisk Ultra-FITs, and perhaps on various small metal drives made by Sandisk and others, if you can obtain functional units), I might adopt it if not for the MX-Linux Snapshot tool, which makes it easy to turn any MX-Linux "full" installation, with all software added by the user and all of its settings made by the user, into an ISO which can then be used for making other installations. For most purposes, I currently use a nonpersistent live USB2 flash-drive installation of my latest MX-Linux Snapshot-ISO, running on a $200 Gigabyte quad-core Intel Celeron mini-PC configured as an air-gap PC (no internet connection, wireless module removed, no wireless in any peripherals, and no internal storage - just flash drives). It boots quickly (unlike typical live installations) and is very responsive, perhaps because I used the same mini-PC to create the full installation from which I created the Snapshot-ISOs, making them compatible with the hardware. It doesn't retain any data upon shut-down, so it's secure. (My encrypted Bodhi installation apparently doesn't save any session-data either, but that's based on a cursory examination.) Since it's Linux, there's no need to worry about malware, although before trusting any ISO (whether downloaded or made from a DVD using a "burner" app), I compare its checksum to the reference checksum provided by the download-site, and before installing any software-module/package without using the software manager, I check its checksum. For internet-access, I use a separate mini-PC running a full installation of my custom MX-Linux ISO. For heavy lifting (by my standards), I use a desktop PC (made from parts from Amazon, which was easy, allowed me to get just what I needed, and saved me a boatload of money) running Kubuntu 20.04. It has an HDHomerun external tuner, the hdhomerun-config and hdhomerun-config-gui apps from the Ubuntu repository, and my shell-scripts (see toggwu on Blogger) for setting each tuner-section to a particular channel and sub-channel, requesting a name for the recording, and starting the recording process. I use OpenShot 5.2.1 for video processing (Kdenlive is too convoluted for me, and as of shortly before this writing, there were no versions of OpenShot 2.6.1 which would run on 22.04, and a version of 2.6.1 from an Openshot PPA destroyed my Kubuntu 20.04/22.04 dual-boot installation. Fortunately, the desktop PC has an SSD for installations and an HDD for data, so I didn't lose any data and it was easy to replace the installation by just installing 20.04, updating the software index, and installing some software, which I had backed-up on the HDD. The net cost was about an hour of my time and about 40MB of my internet allocation for the update. To switch my keyboard (E-SDS KB-1011 laptop-style wired keyboard) and monitor between these PCs, I use a CKLau-64H2ua KM switch. For better, more consistent performance in general from an inexpensive flash drive (although again, Bodhi consistently runs very well on Turbos), I'd use a 16 GB Sandisk Ultra-FIT. The problem with Ultra-FITs is that they have plastic connector shrouds, which eventually wear out and fall apart, although they're designed to be plugged into a PC and left in place. But if you don't want to leave them plugged into a PC, you could leave them plugged into something like an AGVEE USB-A 3.0 Female to USB-A 3.0 Male Adapter (a.k.a. USB 3.0 Converter Coupler Extension Extender Connector), ASIN B093QHP8YX, effectively giving them a metal connector.

(3) O produto foi entregue em um saco plástico genérico cortado e selado manualmente, sem nenhuma embalagem blister da fabricante PNY. Veio com um pequeno folder (fotocopia) 5,5cm x 9,0cm “barata e desfocada”. (4) A velocidade de escrita ficou travada em 16 MB/s (durante a gravação do pendrive INTEIRO), o que é incompatível com o padrão USB 3.0 anunciado. (na verdade, este é o padrão de usb 2.0), ou seja, NÃO CORRESPONDE AO TÍTULO DO ANÚNCIO ("usb 3.0"), porque o anúncio diz (em "Características e especificações" ): "Velocidade de gravação: Up to 10x faster than USB 2.0" o que não corresponde a realidade. (5) Ou seja, não valeu a pena comprar, DEVOLVI o kit e vou comprar outros 5 de uma marca confiável.

Muito Bom ...Estou testando..

TOP produto excelente marca de qualidade, USO PNY e pra mim é o melhor que ha no mercado.
