A member here mentioned another brand, San Disk, where at 64GB the microcontroller was basically the same as an SSD. I can't knowledgeably say PNY has the same schema but I mention it because my 32GB PNY lived slow and died fast, and my PNY 64GB is in the top 3 (read/write) of every USB stick I've ran a simple benchmark test.
I wouldn't mention it but this is the first USB stick that ever failed in my little world, since first using them around 1997(?). I backed up everything so there's no loss, but it's like an hour past a year since I bought it, and according to angry people at Amazon.com the PNY 32GB is something you may be good to avoid.
so in accordance with Pogoplug protocol here i'll exclusively get SanDisk Fit sticks, 16 or 32GB and see how that goes.
Hey as long as i'm here... you know there are very short USB extension cords, like 4-5" long - might that help to keep heat from reaching the USB stick? I ask because various times Pogo and ThinClients heat conducts to the USB stick. Hmmm...
