how has this flash drive performed when downloading right to it? I'm curious if download speeds compared to write speeds affect it. thanks!

I'm not very computer literate, but I downloaded 15 albums and a 150ish song playlist with no problems. I've used Cruzer's for a while and have been happy with their performance. I hope this helps, have a great day!

I'm not an expert at this but I do not have any problem storing my MP3 files so they can be played in my Onkyo Audio & Video Receiver. So far, no songs have been skipped when it was played. When I did copy and paste those files into the flash drive, it's pretty fast. I don't know if this is the answer you are looking for. I like the flash drive - good enough for my use.

not exactly sure of the kbps but a backup of over 16g takes less than a minute. I'm sure your particular computer will have something to do with times but my Dell Inspiron uploads and downloads basic files almost instantaneously. Hope this helps.

Reads @ 19.5 Mb/s. Have not performed write test. Mostly use it for RasPi OS. Works well enough for that. Hope this helps.

Works like a dream, I haven't seen or had any problems with downloading speeds.

I didn't see anything on the box stating that. It does work well, I use it almost daily and I haven't had any problems yet. I transfer files that are 8 -12GB's with this drive. Also it does seem work faster with the USB 2.0 computers then the 2.0 flash drives.

Thanks for the response...the first 2GB i received from Amazon actually seemed to slow DOWN my netbook...esp noticeable after i replaced it with the 1GB to see if the hanging shutdown would go away (which it did)...so my question to you is...do you notice ANY enhanced performance from the 800 mHz 2GB install?

I use a 16gb flash drive but I always use random play--sometimes it freezes when loading--but if I switch to cd then back to usb-it seems to always work fine. I've had no problems with sony or Philips mp3 devices--just seems to lock up when first reading flash drives--it is a little slow at reading files before it begins playing--I'd say about a minute delay-not a problem. Display information depends on what is available on flash drive--ir title artist album are provided it will display them--though you have to turn on the display by using the remote 'display" button or it just gives numeric info I use a 16gb flash drive but I always use random play--sometimes it freezes when loading--but if I switch to cd then back to usb-it seems to always work fine.

Well, I have a test tool, that shows 233.7MB/s write and 319.0MB/s read with a SSD drive in an USB 3 enclosure via an iogear USB3 hub.Most USB sticks, or SD cards are way slower than this.The USB3 hub disconnects, when Yosemite goes to sleep. Then via eSata it copies 1.4GB in less than 5s to my backup drive, not sure, if my drive is a bottleneck, but I am happy with the speeds.

My flash drives crashed every time I tried to store multiple files on them. My only recourse was to reformat the drive. I did not have a problem with the speed of storing a file or opening it.

I load extra software on it,it works fine.75-80mb per sec when you copy files.

Thanks, I'll look into how that is done. Also, can a flashdrive handle a program this large or only just files?

If you are using an older machine that does not have USB 3.0 support the slower transfer rate can cause an issues such as this and there is no fix. If you are using a USB 3.0 port make sure your motherboard drivers and bois settings are up to date. After trying all this if the drive continues not to perform to your expectations I would exchange it for a different one.

I have both the 256gb and the 1tb USB drives. So far I am quite impressed by the transfer speed and reliability of them. So much that I carry a great deal of information to include pictures and songs. So far neither one of them failed on me. You need to verify that the drive is a legitimate one by checking that on the USB port connector has the serial number engraved. I understand that there are some cheap ones on the market with a much lesser performance and capacity from what is described! I hope this may help!

Mine does not seem to disk over write once full. I recently had to erase all to free space as it appeared to have stopped recording. Since then Ive been careful to erase once in a while and haven't let it go to full again so I dont know if it was an isolated incident or if not over writing is the rule. For the rest, it works very well.

Yes, it works fine in USB 2.0 ports, usually faster than a 2.0 flash drive in the same port. You won't get the screaming speeds of a 3.0 flash drive in a 3.0 port, but it's definitely an improvement over the 2.0 flash drive.

Could you please try to download the information by the USB flash disk? It also support download by USB flash disk. Any other questions, please contact me freely.Best regards.

I used it to download the content for 'The Evil Within' since there was so much of it; All I did was insert the flash drive in, inserted the game disc, and it gave me 3 storage options(usually just 2 before the flash...)to download the content/updates: the hard drive, iCloud, or flash drive; I selected flash drive and the content/updates were added to it, and now when I play that game I use the flash drive as my storage device. Hope this helps a little. Very simple to use and very helpful.

Just received this sucker in the mail:PNY Attache 4 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive P-FD4GBATT2-EF (Black)The performance warning appears once the drive is configured, but it does let me store files on it. It just says not to play arcade games and games on demand games from it. Gonna try out some saves, I'll be pissed if it doesn't work. Amazon just lowered the price of it too, the day I receive it. grrrrrr

You know, I never got past the recording feature not working. I didn't buy it as a conventional USB flash drive. I did not have issues using it in my computer but never created anything on it (so there was nothing I erased either).

In short, your answer is yes. While formatting the drive, the console may display a statement about perfomance issues. Most probably pertaining to the USB drive's read/write speeds. In my personal experience, writing to the drive is average, albeit a little slow. Reading from the drive, I have yet to see any issues in using this exact USB drive.
