Good quality
By Bryan on Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2025
These are great, I’m using one pretty much as a hard drive for an old computer. They’re nothing special, but they work great. The write speed is average, about what you’d expect. They seem relatively durable-ish, I guess, just normal usb drives. They’re easy to use and they work great. They’re just a normal size for these things, but I do like the small form factor with the sliding cover. That design is pretty normal for usb drives but I do like it. They plug in and pull out fine, no issues there. They don’t seem to get hot with extended use either, maybe because of the case. I like that they’re relatively large for cheap and they seem like pretty good quality. I’ve done a bunch of writing on one and had no problems so far. If you’re looking for usb drives, these will do great.

Worked great for 2 years with SyncToy, then failed due to "read only."
By J. Rockafellow on Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2024
For a couple years I used the 512gb USB drive -- using it with SyncToy -- to backup EVERY SINGLE DATA FILE on my PC, including thousands of photographs and hundreds of short videos and dozens of short films. It worked seamlessly, and updating the USB every month or two took less than 5-10 minutes. But then something happened -- sometime after I decided to download everything from the USB into another PC -- and after that, SyncToy would not work, (nor could I separately write any files on to the USB) and I could not replace any of the files on the USB. WHY? I got an error "READ ONLY," and none of the Internet solutions for allowing "WRITE" worked (registry changes, etc., nothing worked). I had to throw the USB away and buy a new one. To me, it was a mystery, but after spending 4-6 hours trying to get the USB to accept "WRITE", it wasn't worth it to me anymore. But I repurchased another PNY because I have hopes that I can prevent it from entering into a "READ ONLY" mode.
