A good product for backup
Bought this 64 GB pendrive for 428 rs on lightning deal. The build is all metal and sturdy and capacity is very good at this price point and you get 58 GB of usable space. However the data transfer speed is 5 Mbps which is really slow, whihc was expected when i was buying it at this cost. I basically bought it to use as a backup for important photos. Don’t buy if you want to use it as daily data transfer device, you will be disappointed with the speed.

We’ve heard of free offers like “Buy one get one free” or offers which get you a discount of certain percentage on the second unit. But have you ever come across an offer where you buy a pen drive labelled as 16GB and it turns out to be actually of 32GB of capacity? Well this pen drive from HP actually gives you double the capacity than the 16GB that it is labelled – without even a whisper or mention about it anywhere.

Ups…..The product is very good, i mistakenly washed it 8n washing machine with my pants but it is still running like new. No data loss problem or data corrupt problems i have faced yet.Downs……The only downside is this pendrive is little slow because of technology 2.0(3.2 is newer one)And second one is not affact your data at all.. the silver paint on pendrive is vanishing time by time and it is now turning black

Best bang for the buck !
USB2.0 ! Means it is very slo…………………w ! But this is due to older technology prevailing in those days. But I feel it is still it is OK as long as you are using this for bulk storage device, where in you don’t do Write operations every day. That way it is much cheaper option compared to expensive cloud storage or External HDD.Cloud storage (paid service) is far more reliable but way expensive for example Google charges Rs 130 per month for 100 GB of storage (one can buy 2 HP pen drives for less than Rs 1000 and have the equivalent storage for years to come , no monthly payments like Cloud storage!)External Hard drive is much cheaper , Rs 4 per GB compared to this HP pen drives Rs 8.5 / GB , but what about reliability? There are many horror stories around , people lost their terabytes never to be recover !Of course indeed if you have Terabytes and terabytes , Pen drives may not be a cost effective solution , but then you to decide , how important your data is? Can you take that risk ?Well , except the speed, every thing is top notch.Go for this , choose this over that popular Red & Black plasticky thing!I ordered 3 such drives all working to my satisfaction, ordering some more still the stock lasts.Hope this helps.

Solid and stylish, but too tight in usb port, average performance.
Got 2 of this 32GB HP v236w pendrives this morning. Review is based on testing done the same day:Summary:The product is genuine and sturdy, but the performance is just about average, based on a random file copy performance to fill the entire space.Pros & Cons (comparing with SanDisk Cruiser Blade 32 GB) :Pros-1. Solid body, looks and feels great.2. Read speed is fine (22 MB/s).3. Product is genuine, covered under 2 Year manufacturer warranty.Cons -1. Fits too tight in usb port, thus causing more wear to the port and may even damage it if not used carefully.2. Capacity is 31 GB (precisely 31042043904 bytes), not 32 as advertised. In windows it’ll show up as a 28.9 GB drive compared to 29.8 in Sandisk. No big deal, just a technical observation.3. Write speed (3.3 MB/s) is not bad, but slightly inferior to its close competitor Sandisk cruiser blade which easily gives 4 to 4.4 MB/s for the same test.4. Warranty is only 2 years, compared to 5 years on Sandisk. But since almost nobody claims warranty after 2 years, and besides- the plastic body of Sandisk gets physically damaged in 2 years anyway, so it’s okay for me.Bottomline:It’s good enough for casual users, maybe chosen over Sandisk for its look, feel and sturdiness. Frequent users may want to look for better options- with easier port fitting and better write speed.Details:The product name is HP v236w as shown on its packing (the images in listing are correct) while its part number is FD236W-32, so slightly confusing but both are the same thing.Testing whether it is genuine or fake:The bottom of the hologram sticker on the packing has a silver layer with “scratch and check” written on it. Scratching it reveals a 20-digit code beneath it, and the right edge of the sticker has the url “www.pny.com.tw” to verify this code. Go to support > product authentication page on that url. That page contains instructions and explanation of the results that you may get. Mine were originals, with the codes tested for the first time (repeat test result will be a warning that the code was tested before).So that means it is covered under 2 year manufacturer warranty, as declared by hp for Aisa Pacific region.Design and build quality : Sturdy, stylish but with a design flaw-It is exactly as shown in the picture. The body is a solid steel case with open front and the back sealed with a black plastic cap. The plastic back fits perfectly and gives it a stylish look, though it may come off later. The HP logo, product code etc are embossed on the steel body so likely won’t be erased with time. Overall, it looks and feels great. The flaw I noticed was that it takes significantly more strength to push it into the usb port, compared to other usb devices like generic usb cables or usual plastic pendrives like Sandisk. You almost have to fight with it to push it in or pull it out. This means its frequent use can wear out the usb port too soon, or may even break it if not used carefully.Capacity : 31 GB, not 32, will appear as 28.9 GB in windows-It is advertised as a 32 GB drive but the actual capacity is 31GB, and yes, I’m fully aware of the decimal vs binary calculation difference, I’m a hardcore linux user. To be precise, its exact capacity is 31042043904 bytes (on both pendrives I tested). So in windows it will show up as a 28.9 GB drive. In linux it will show up as either 31 GB, or 28.9 GiB (binary calculation like windows). For comparison, my 32GB Sandisk shows up as 32010928128 bytes, or 32 GB, or 29.8 GiB. This loss of 1 GB in a 32GB pendrive is no big deal for me, just a technical observation.Performance:Read speed: about 20-22 MB/sWrite speed: about 3.3 MB/sTested with : a collection of ISO files ranging from about 350MB to 4GB, along with a few smaller files like pdf or txt. Total size of the collection was about 30.2 GB (28.2 GiB).I did this testing on linux, so to be fair, the write performance may be slightly better on windows as it works better with fat32 that the pendrive comes formatted as.(Edit: No performance difference on Windows either. Formatted as exFAT on windows 10 to make it multiboot with YUMI. Read-write speeds were same while copying ISO files to it, or reading them to load in memdisk while booting.)I could do more accurate testing with tools like dd command but didn’t bother as the difference usually isn’t very significant.

USB 2.0 64GB Pen Drive – Great Looks, Metal Body!
This has great looks! Transfer speed is also good. Works well with computers. But it failed to recognize. giving errors while connecting to Car Music System. If you are going to use with other or older devices then check for other compatible options.
