Summary: Portable File Storage
Review: The attache 128 MB USB 2.0 drive offered by PNY is a useful tool for those who work on more than one computer.

If you have Windows XP, setup is a snap - just plug it in and you will be able to treat it like it is any other disk drive.

The drive is small yet sturdy and can take some bumps. The device also has a lock feature (a la the old 1.44 MB diskettes) so that it would become write-protected.

Remember one thing though - the Attache is not really designed to be rewritten repeatedly. If the user repeatedly erases and rewrites the Attache drive, eventually parts or all of the drive will become unreadable. Therefore, one should only erase and rewrite when absolutely necessary. Also, one should always backup his or her files in a location other than the Attache.

Summary: Attache and Windows 98
Review: The device works fine with my XP and W2000 machines. It does not work at all with W98SE. The tech help was useless via email. And you cannot contact them live in Parsippany. W98SE just cannot find the drivers that are supposedly installed during the setup program. Oh well, 2 out of 3 is fine I guess...

Summary: HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Review: This is an excellent back-up tool. It is extremely fast, and v-e-r-y easy to use. I have some important files I need to back up, and I need to work on files at work and at home. Burning to my external CR-RW was to time consuming. This Flash drive operates just like an internal drive.

I have successfully used it on Windows 98 and Windows 2000 OS, at both USB 1.1 and 2 speeds.

Summary: Great, until it died
Review: This product worked great for 9 months until it just died on me a few days ago. That really sucks, because you can't recover the info you had on it. The computer stopped recognizing it. I tried on two additional computers, and it doesn't work on them either; so it's not a computer problem. In searching the web, I found a couple of other people who had the same problem. PNY doesn't have any way to contact the company on their web site (the only phone # I found was for a marketing rep, I called her and she claims she'll forward my number for someone to call back). The PNY web site claims this product has a 1 year warrantee. However, Best Buy told me that their computer only shows 90 days, so they told me to contact PNY.
This type of product is worthless if it can stop working at any time without a way to recover the data on it. Also, PNY does not have any info on their web site about how to contact them if things go wrong. They simply tell you to take it back to where you bought it.
