I never buy PNY hardware, but if you do, stop now.
My wife got a PNY Attaché USB drive for free from a friend who got a new flash drive. Eventually it stopped working, and her data is (hopefully) stuck on it.
We started talking to data recovery people, and as it turns out, the number one (by a large margin) usb device they fix is a PNY Attaché, and PNY offers no support or help to data recovery companies, and actually have sued one for unauthorized tampering with their devices.
PNY = the devil.
