do not buy a PNY "Attache'" usb flash drive. they are cheap. they are very cheap. not only do the cases come apart and are occasionally on upside down, but merely dropping a device meant to be portable causes the internal electronics to become unattached from its protective case. this causes the flash chip and its attached usb jack to be pushed inside, rendering the stick and any data on it useless unless you have a fair amount of patience, luck, and a pair of needlenose pliers. and some very strong epoxy. or you can find someone else who does.
yes, that happened to me today. you'd think they'd have built it a little more robustly, since the whole purpose of the thing is to be transported around (and before you ask, no, it wasn't my purchasing decision. the office bought half a dozen of them because they're cheap).
i shall now go into hiding from the pny lawyers ;)
