Opinion on PNY Compact attache usb

It's currently on sale at Best Buy. But I've read mix reviews on it? I was wondering whether I should keep it or return it.

PNY Compact Attache

Return it.  With memory I only go with trussted brand like Sandisk or kingston

PNY is a relatively big brand. I'd say keep it. At $15 it's not that bad.

Edit: If you can find one of the even larger brands at that price, then yeah return it. I personally use a Patriot Memory one and have had no issues.

I like these just fine.  PNY sells tons of reliable RAM chips for desktops and laptops, and their flash memory is dependable too.  I personally don't like Sandisk Cruzers because of the extra software preinstalled on them and how finicky they can be to disconnect from your system (an extra hoop to jump through rather than just stopping the USB in the system tray).  I've had way more Sandisk USB drives fail after about 100 connect/disconnect than any PNY I've ever bought.

The PNY attache I have is about as slow as it possibly can be while transfering files. It is 8GB and would take over an hour to fill it. On my corsair or kingston it would take maybe 3 minutes.

Thanks for the advice. I return it and got a kingston on clearance for the same price.
