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.

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.

I use flash drives a lot, with moderate writing and extremely heavy read cycles several times a day, 5-6 days a week, every week. Still have PNY , Samsung and ADATA Pro rom 5-7 years ago. Sandisk though, absolute unreliable junk that will randomly decide to lockup and block write access. A few drives also denied read access. Once it happens, they are toast. I've tried multiple models and grades of SanDisk. Same story.
my ADATA drives like N005 Pro would died (drive detected with no disk or volumn, can't be partitioned or formatted) just by holding data and do nothing (no explicit write and maybe 50KB read per week) in 3 years, so I guess you are just lucky or I have been having bad lucks with ADATA
Wow, the PNY drives must be *really* bad - according to reviews the HP drive writes at 8MB/sec, which doesn't strike me as great. I guess that would write a gigabyte in a little over 2 minutes though.
Many comments criticizing the fact that these are USB 2.0 versus all the latest 3.X USB drives. Are these inferior, OF COURSE THEY ARE. However the point is missed here. Maybe not in YOUR ultra-modern world, many of us have OLDER devices that have compatibility issues with the newer drives. Think old PCs, PC-devices, cars that require updates via USB and also have compatibility issues. These drives would solve that problem.
I just think its a "OOOOK, captain obvious" when come in here and harp about how much faster your glorious USB 3.X USB drive is that does 1-trillion terabytes per second. Come on, man!
Got 5. Use them for saving surveillance videos of home improvement projects. You never know if you need the videos 2 years down the road for warranty challenges.
