PNY Turbo Attaché 3,256 GB USB 3.0 flash drive with a sliding collar

PNY Turbo Attaché 3,256 GB, with seven bullets printed twice and no absolute speed

The cheapest American gigabyte on this shelf at just under eleven cents — on a page that publishes no speed figure in any unit, and prints seven of its bullets twice.

Capacity: 256 GB — stated in the title and in the fourth bullet, which translates it as approximately 47,349 songs. At 256 GB that is about 5.4 MB a song, and the arithmetic holds
USB generation: USB 3.0 — stated in the title and in the second bullet, with backwards compatibility to USB 2.0 ports named in the sixth
Stated link rate: Not published on the listing — no figure in gigabits per second appears, only the generation name
Stated read figure: Not published on the listing — no figure in megabytes per second appears in any of the fifteen bullets or in the description. The only speed statement is a multiplier: approximately ten times a standard PNY USB 2.0 drive, whose own speed is published nowhere
Stated write figure: Not published on the listing — no writing rate appears in any unit, and the ten-times multiplier is not assigned to a direction
Connector type: Type-A — implied by the sliding collar and the backwards compatibility claim, and never designated. The eighth bullet reads "Compatible Devices: Tablet", which is a scraped attribute row naming no system or model
Body design: A sliding collar, capless — stated in the fifth bullet, which covers the connector without a separate cap to lose
Keyring provision: An integrated loop — stated in the fifth bullet for a key chain or a backpack. It is the only integrated loop on this shelf; the Amazon Basics has a keyhole, two drives a swivel clip, and the rest nothing
Stated ingress rating: Not published on the listing — no water rating, no dust rating and no IP figure appears
Warranty length: Not published on the listing — no term appears in any of the fifteen bullets. The seventh offers free technical support, which is not a warranty
Amazon reference: B00JN1TOHM
EAN: 0751492569765

The cheapest gigabyte among the American listings on this shelf at $0.109, against $0.137 for the next and $0.562 for the most expensive, the SanDisk Ultra Flair
Two hundred and fifty-six gigabytes, double the capacity of every published listing on this shelf
No speed figure in any unit anywhere on the page — the only claim is a multiplier against an unnamed baseline

Best for: Buying the most storage for the least money on this shelf, by somebody who will accept not knowing how fast it is until it arrives.

On Amazon.com: Amazon.com had an offer at $28 on October 26, 2026.

Twenty-seven dollars and ninety-nine cents for 256 gigabytes is $0.109 a gigabyte. Nothing else on this shelf is close: the next cheapest American byte is $0.137 and the most expensive, the SanDisk Ultra Flair, is $0.562. If the question is how much storage a dollar buys, this page answers it and the rest of the shelf does not.

If the question is how fast that storage is, the page answers nothing at all. The first bullet gives “transfer speeds approximately 10 times faster than standard PNY USB 2.0 Flash drives”. That is a multiplier against an unnamed baseline — a standard PNY USB 2.0 drive, whose own speed is published nowhere on this page — and it is the only speed statement the listing makes. No figure in megabytes per second. No figure in gigabits per second. The intro to this section says nearly every listing on this shelf states a read figure; this is the first one on the shelf to state none in any unit, and it does so twice.

Twice, because the bullets are printed twice. Bullets one through seven reappear as bullets nine through fifteen, differing only in a comma and a full stop: the speed multiplier, the large-files claim, the quick-transfer claim, the song count, the sliding collar, the backwards compatibility, the free technical support. Seven bullets of fifteen are copies of the other seven. Between them they say the same four things.

The song count is the only quantity on the page that is a quantity: approximately 47,349 songs, which at 256 GB works out at about 5.4 MB each — a reasonable figure for compressed audio, and the arithmetic holds. It is also the kind of figure that measures the capacity rather than the drive.

The fifth bullet gives the body: a sliding collar, capless, with an integrated loop for a key chain or a backpack. That is the only listing on this shelf whose keyring provision is an integrated loop; the Amazon Basics has a keyhole and two drives a swivel clip. The sliding collar covers the connector without a separate cap, which answers the same problem the swivel drives here answer differently.

The eighth bullet reads “Compatible Devices: Tablet”. It is a scraped attribute row of the kind that appears on the WD Blue on the SATA shelf of this site, and on a USB-A drive it says very little: a tablet with a USB-A socket is unusual, and the row names no system and no model.

The sixth bullet gives backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 ports and compatibility with most PC and Mac laptops and desktops. The seventh gives free technical support, and no warranty term appears anywhere — on a page where several of the seven listings on this shelf are in the same position.

At 18 g (0.6 oz) and 20 by 11 by 57 mm (2.24 in) it is the heaviest of the small drives here, and the capacity and the price per byte are the whole argument.

The questions that come up before an order

How fast is it?

The page never says in any unit. The only claim is approximately ten times a standard PNY USB 2.0 drive, and that drive’s speed is published nowhere on the listing.

Why are there fifteen bullets?

Because seven of them are printed twice. Bullets one to seven reappear as bullets nine to fifteen with only punctuation changed, so the page makes four distinct claims across fifteen slots.

Is it the best value here?

By price per gigabyte, yes: $0.109 against $0.137 for the next American drive on this shelf. By published specification it is the thinnest page here, which is the trade.

SamData Five 8 GB drives in five colors, with an activity lamp

Five 8 GB drives in five colors for $21.99 on Amazon.com on October 26, 2026 — $0.550 a gigabyte, the second-most expensive storage on this shelf — with a twelve-month warranty.

Capacity
8 GB per drive, five drives, 40 GB in total — stated in the title and in the first bullet. Eight gigabytes is the smallest capacity on this shelf by a factor of four; the next smallest are the two 32 GB drives
USB generation
USB 2.0 — stated in the first and third bullets, with compatibility given as USB 2.0 and below
Stated link rate
Not published on the listing — no figure in gigabits per second appears, only the generation name
Connector type
Type-A — implied by the body and the swivel clip, and never designated on the page
Stated read figure
Not published on the listing — no figure in megabytes per second appears. The third bullet says high-speed USB 2.0 and gives no number
Stated write figure
Not published on the listing — no writing rate appears anywhere, which on USB 2.0 is where the practical ceiling sits
Body design
Capless, with a metal clip rotating 360 degrees around an ABS plastic body — stated in the second bullet. The same description appears on the SIMMAX drive on this shelf, which suggests one supplier rather than two designs
Keyring provision
The swivel clip itself — the second bullet describes a metal clip around the body, with no separate loop named

SanDisk Ultra 512 GB with encryption and the longest warranty on this shelf

Five years of warranty, the longest stated for a drive on this shelf, on the joint-largest capacity here — with password protection and a read figure of 130 MB/s against the 200 of the fastest.

Capacity
512 GB — stated in the title. It is the joint-largest capacity on this shelf, shared with the PNY Elite-X Fit. The description defines 1 GB as 1,000,000,000 bytes and notes that actual user storage is less, without giving the figure
USB generation
USB 3.0 — stated in the first bullet, which requires a USB 3.0 port for the quoted speed, with backwards compatibility to USB 2.0 in the second
Stated link rate
Not published on the listing — no figure in gigabits per second appears, only the generation name
Connector type
USB-A, designated in the title — which several of the seven listings on this shelf leave to be inferred. On a shelf where Type-C and dual-connector drives exist, printing it is the difference between a sure purchase and a return
Stated read figure
Up to 130 MB/s — stated in the first bullet with five qualifications: ten times a standard USB 2.0 drive at 4 MB/s, a USB 3.0 port required, based on internal testing, performance possibly lower depending on the host, and 1 MB defined as 1,000,000 bytes. It is the most carefully hedged speed claim on this shelf
Stated write figure
Not published on the listing — no writing rate appears in the title, the three bullets or the description. The single figure published is the read figure, as the first bullet states
Body design
Not described beyond the connector — the description calls it sleek and sturdy and names no cap, collar or retraction. At 8 g (0.3 oz) and 11 by 22 by 8 mm (0.31 in) it is the second-lightest drive on this shelf
Keyring provision
Not published on the listing — no loop, no clip and no lanyard hole is named anywhere
Stated ingress rating
Not published on the listing — no water rating, no dust rating and no IP figure appears
Warranty length
Five years, limited — stated in the description. It is the longest term stated for a drive on this shelf, where three listings publish none, one twelve months and one a year; the Ultra Flair's description names five years for its range

- Five years of warranty, the longest term on this shelf

Best for: Half a terabyte on a key that has to be covered by a term rather than a hope, with a password on the files.

SanDisk Ultra Flair 32 GB, whose own footnote undercuts its headline

A metal thirty-two-gigabyte drive quoting 150 MB/s and then publishing the arithmetic that reduces it: a 1.2 GB film in under thirty seconds is about forty megabytes a second.

Capacity
32 GB — stated in the title and in the reference. The first bullet’s footnote adds that performance varies by drive capacity, which means the headline figures belong to the range rather than to this version
USB generation
USB 3.0 — stated in the title and in the first bullet, which requires a USB 3.0 port for the quoted speed and notes that performance may be lower depending on the host
Stated link rate
Not published on the listing — no figure in gigabits per second appears, only the generation name
Connector type
Type-A — implied by the body and never designated on the page
Stated read figure
Up to 150 MB/s — stated in the first bullet and its footnote, which says plainly that 150 is the read speed and that it varies by drive capacity.
Stated write figure
Given as a multiple and then undercut by the page’s own example — the first bullet’s footnote gives writing as up to fifteen times a standard USB 2.0 drive at 4 MB/s, which is about 60 MB/s. The second bullet’s footnote gives a 1.2 GB film in under thirty seconds, which is about 40 MB/s. Both are published and neither is chosen
Body design
A sleek, durable metal casing — stated in the fourth bullet. At 4 g (0.1 oz) and 13 by 42 by 7 mm (0.28 in) it is the lightest drive on this shelf. Whether a cap is fitted is not stated
Keyring provision
Not published on the listing — no loop, no lanyard hole and no clip is named anywhere, on a drive small enough to lose
Stated ingress rating
Not published on the listing — no water rating, no dust rating and no IP figure appears
Warranty length
Not published in the bullets — the description names a five-year limited term for the range and the bullets do not restate it, so the figure is attached to the family rather than printed as this listing’s own specification

- Publishes the arithmetic that corrects its own headline: a 1.2 GB film in under thirty seconds is about 40 MB/s, against the 150 on the front
- Names the encryption properly — 128-bit AES, with the Windows and macOS versions it works on and the Mac download it needs
- The headline 150 MB/s is a read figure for the range, and the page’s own example implies about 40 MB/s writing on a real file
Best for: A small, solid drive for documents and photographs, bought with the thirty-second film example in mind rather than the number on the front.

The only listing on this shelf that says which of its figures is the inside — a 2 in channel inside a 3.5 × 1 in exterior — in a three-raceway kit with four named fittings.

Internal width
2 in (50.8 mm) — stated in the first bullet as "Channel Dimension: 2" Dia", explicitly as the channel. It is the only internal figure published on this shelf.
Internal height
Not separately published — the channel is given as a 2 in diameter, which on a half-round profile makes the usable height about half that
