Product Description
Optima Pro Attache USB 2.0 Flash Drive was designed with Windows Vista in mind and works in conjunction with SuperFetch intelligent caching to enhance system performance for quicker startup and windows multi-tasking. You can get a boost in system responsiveness without upgrading internal components such as processors or RAM. You can define the amount of storage you want to allocate toward ReadyBoost and how much you want to use for traditional storage, so Optima Pro Attache still makes a great solution to capture, store, and share digital images, music, games and documents.

 Love it, love it, love it! September 27, 2008
Hi --
Love it, love it, love it!
My cat took off with the cap to my 8GB. I think it went down an air vent.
Please send 2 caps in case it happens again.
Thanks so much!

Great Drive September 24, 2008

Items was exactly what I was looking for, enough space for everything I need to move between work and home. I love PNY drives I have had sizes from 256 MB to 4 GB, and they perform great.
Excellent shipping time and Excellent product : August 24, 2008
Received this in a very fast time, and it was packaged very well also.
I am very happy with Amazon and the supplier, very good... M.S NY
The NEWER version of "Attache" July 12, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Maybe some of the other reviews were of the OLDER version, which might account for some of the problems reported here and on other sites (?). Mine looks just like the picture here on the Amazon listing, and includes "P-FD8GBATT2-FS" printed above the UPC on the packaging. After quite a bit of reading online, and based on a little experience with USB flash drives, here are some reasons I chose this particular one:
-- huge capacity
-- appears to be very fast, though I have not formally tested it.
-- even though I do not plan to use it for "Ready Boost", I wanted a drive that met the speed and quality requirements anyway. My current PC's run on Windows XP (so RB is a non-factor for me), and if/when I get a 'puter that runs on Vista, I'll make sure it has plenty of RAM. (BTW, I might just skip Vista and wait for their next OS.)
-- about a quarter-inch shorter than the older Attache version, and classier looking, in my opinion.
-- green LED light that lights/blinks when drive is busy... the light is under the blue plastic near the end with the USB connector, and it is not too bright or distracting, compared to some other drives. BTW, as PNY and some other flash drive makers warn (in their packaging and on their website), do not remove the drive while it's in use (light is lit or blinking) or the drive could be ruined (MAYBE repairable with their downloadable "low level format" utility). Check out PNY's website for other various info... FAQ, etc.
-- cap snaps on very firmly and would not fall off on its own, so if someone complains about the cap sliding off easily, they're probably reviewing the older version.
-- encased by lightweight plastic, but like with many drives, if you're reasonably careful, it seems like it will be durable enough.
As people are probably more likely to write a review if they've had a problem, I figure this drive deserves a better average review than it has gotten so far. But I just bought it and have barely used it, so only time will tell. Anyway, 8 gigs for such a low price... seems like not a big risk. Regardless of which model of flash drive you use, of course have the data stored in more than one place/drive/disk.
One last thing: I had my search narrowed down to this drive and the similarly sized and priced Sandisk. However, after doing a google search on "U3 smart" I decided that even though it's very good for some people, I just didn't need or want it, even though there is a way to clear it from the Sandisk drive if I wanted all the space simply for storage, etc.

I have several flash drives from other manufacturers and this one is the fastest. I appreciate the speed. I would buy a PNY product again.
