The Attaché Storage USB flash drive is available in four different storage capacities (2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB and 16 GB) and comes with a handy sticker so you can label the drive with its contents. That's great news for anyone who has trouble finding what they're looking for in a drawer full of flash drives!
The label is certainly a good idea, but the drive is unfortunately only supplied with one sticker already stuck on to the drive and doesn't come with any spares. To replace it, you have to go to the http://www.pny.eu/attache_storage website and print out a new set of stickers yourself. There are several designs available (Color, Kids, Student) with two sets per category.
Otherwise, the Attaché Storage is a fairly basic flash drive that comes with no free software pre-loaded. It's compact, measuring just 5.4 x 1.8 x 1.1 cm when with the connector covered, and weighs under 10 g. The connector swivels out from the side of the device so there's no extra cap to lose when you're out and about. There's also a hole for attaching a wrist strap or lanyard (not supplied).

Performances
The results obtained with the CrystalDiskMark test show that the Attaché Storage is easily out-done by the competition:
These results were confirmed by our practical tests, which also showed this flash drive lagging behind the other USB 2.0 flash drives we've tested:
Pros
- Stickers for customising or labelling the drive
- Compact design, integrated connection cover
Cons
- Middle-of-the-road performances
- Only one sticker supplied as standard
Conclusion
We reckon the only real reason you might buy the Attaché Storage flash drive would be for its handy sticker, as its performances are nothing to write home about.
