Yes, they are 2.0, but $3.50 for a couple of 32gb flash drives from a major manufacturer seems like a good deal if you don't have the need for speed. Shipped and sold by Amazon.

All sizes and prices are listed here:

Totally agree - people these HP 64GB FDs are $6 each and USB 3.0 - way better move if you don't want to suffer horrid transfer speeds.

I've never had a PNY flash drive live past a couple of years but all my sandisk are still going strong.
Trust me, you'll never use these. If you ever do, you'll hate yourself for wasting money on junk like this because file transfer is so slow by today's standards. USB 2.0 is actually not the bottleneck.

Quote from muchwow :
A niche use case where USB 2.0 might be preferable is for something like FreeNAS or Unraid. USB 3.0 provides no performance benefit over 2.0, but 2.0 can provide better stability/compatibility. People generally repurpose old hardware to use as a NAS, and yes, even though USB 3.0 came out back in 2008, USB 3.0 support in BIOS during boot in some devices have been known to be more flaky.

So if you like to tinker with old devices and need flash drives for boot, updating, etc., it might be worth having a couple of these around.

Unraid is exactly my use case for these, but it has to have a unique GUID. Can anyone confirm?

I've always had good luck with PNY flash drives. Ironically, the brand I've had crap out are SanDisk, but I wonder if they were counterfeit.
I had three Sandisk that all went bad. I know they were genuine. No longer buy Sandisk products.

I know the price is tempting, but as mentioned before please reconsider before buying a USB 2.0. they are sooooo sloooow. I have different sizes up to 256 and now they serve as useless keychains from how freaking slow they are

Yeah, UNRAID is the perfect use case. My SanDisk boot drive got corrupted just recently, and looking for these older and smaller flash drives. UNRAID uses less than 2Gb.

I picked up a two-pack of Staples' NXT brand 64gb USB3.2 thumb drives a couple days ago for $11.06. Not sure what chips are under the hood, though. There were also four-packs of the same 64gb sticks for $22.12 on the pegs next to them. (This was back in the clearance section, so YMMV.)

FYI I use this same stick 2.0 for my Buick Encore as the 3.0 cannot be read.. I just throw some music and talk shows in it.

Strange but true I swear ! It doesn't come up that often but there have been some reports from people who use usb 3.0 drives to do a bios flash during PC assembly (say with the motherboards that support upgrading the bios prior to full pc assembly .. all you need to do is connect the 24 pin power cable type thing to the motherboard ) that for some reason usb 2.0 drives are the only ones that work .. given the cheap price for two of them I'm wondering if it's worth grabbing a few just in case this happens to you. In my case this particular thumb drive worked fine to flash my asus TUF gaming motherboards (two of them)... I admit I didn't bother using a ubs 3.0 drive for these purposes because I'm stingy Smilie (see below)

I've found the usb 2.0 PNY 32 GB drives mentioned here to be "slow but sufficient" so if youre really cheap like I am Stick Out Tongue they're just fine for say a fresh install of Win 11 or using as a recovery drive for say Macrium Reflect if you have the patience to deal with the slower speeds.. though as others have noted usb 3.0 is definitely faster and could be absolutely worth it to people who aren't stingy like I am Stick Out Tongue ..

Definitely, definitely check each one of these thumb drives .. in my case I just copy a file onto it, unplug it, plug it back in and see if the file can be opened on it ... when you get them in the mail.. it's not common but I've had one thumb drive fail me right out of the box far as the PNY's (they're cheap for a reason I imagine)... I'm sure someone on here knows of some program that will do a better job of testing the thumb drive to see if it works ho0pefully they'll jump in and say something Smilie

I bought the 3-pack 32GB model of these and all 3 are painfully slow in read and write. You would think your computer is locking up or Explorer is about to crash. These aren't even USB 2.0 fast (get about 3 MB/s transfer speed). I have older USB2.0 thumb drives from over 15 years ago that are faster than this.

Which one?
The Ultra Luxe model is currently in stock (sold by amazon) as of this reply (though they are backordered with 1-2 month shipping unfortunately).

PNY have consistently been the worst and fail the earliest. I did manage to RMA a 128gb micro SD card but the second replacement failed about 3 months later. I'm convinced this brand is unadulterated garbage.

Quote from Medic311 :
these are good for creating windows boot drives
but even then, they're not great

i have a ziplock bag of these things in 16GB version...about 1/3 of them just won't work with that tool. the others are just fine though

i don't use them for anything besides windows boot drives, and then a handful have the anti-malware/anti-ransomware recovery programs to run in the event you get unlucky
No matter what I never seem to have an extra around for that purpose, even with a ziplock bag of them. Too scared to reformat others. These are like laundry baskets .. no matter how many x baskets you got, you always -1 short.

Also, 2-pack is $7 for those who dont want 5. $3.50 per count.
