About PNY 256GB Turbo Attach 3 USB 3.0 Flash Drive
Overall Feedback:
92% positive
72% highlighted the lasting build, while 28% disagreed
I am satisfied with the USB flash drive's build quality, given its price point and performance.
The build quality is not impressive as it is made of plastic everywhere.
I noticed that the build quality of the drive is not up to par, and it is made of cheap plastic with an obvious seam in the molding. However, once plugged into a MacBook Pro, the color scheme goes quite nicely and the plasticky look is less noticeable.

72% were impressed by extensive compatibility, but 28% weren't
The USB flash drive is compatible with my car stereo and clock radio for playback. Other brands are not recognized, but this one always is. However, its write speeds are slow compared to a cheap external SSD drive or backup USB hard drive.
USB flash drives are backward compatible if my device is not 3.0.
I have noticed that the drive is no longer compatible with some applications like WinMerge.
70% appreciated the data security features, but 30% disagreed
After a few weeks of usage, my drive stopped working in mid-transfer. This indicates poor data security.
I lost all my data and reformatted it, but it worked for only about 6 hours before it appeared empty again.
70% praised the fast transfer speed, while 30% raised concerns
The data transfer speed of this USB flash drive is very slow. It took over an hour to transfer 36.7 GB of data. During the largest file transfers, the data transfer rate oscillated between 8.2 and 21.5 MB/s. Smaller files barely managed to hit 4 MB/s. Deleting 32 GB took 10 minutes. I compared it with a regular USB 3.0 drive and can delete that much data in under 2 seconds on a regular USB 3.0 drive.
The transfer speed started slow at about 40 MBytes/s and rapidly degraded to less than 11 MBytes/s.
